Building your first AI testing system

Module 20 illustration

"Dear Marilyn,

I understand the concepts. Now how do I actually build an AI testing system?

— Ready to Implement"

Marilyn Responds:

You've completed the Intermediate track. You understand AI agents, the GRACE architecture, and how the pieces fit together.

In this capstone, you'll design a complete AI testing system for a realistic scenario, choosing components, defining integrations, and planning the implementation.

This is where architecture becomes reality.

System Design Checklist

Your AI testing system needs:

  • Requirement Sources — Where does input come from?
  • Analysis Pipeline — How are requirements processed?
  • Generation Strategy — How are tests created?
  • Execution Engine — How are tests run?
  • Feedback Loop — How does the system learn?
  • Integration Points — How does it connect to your ecosystem?
