AI creating Dragons and testing stories

In recent times, it seems like the whole world has gone crazy trying to use Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). These LLMs (large language models) can create content based on user prompts. 

Now I tried the LLM Brave Leo (Mixtral) to create a Dragons Out -like story for me. Although it was just experimental, the results are quite impressive. I used just three prompts. Finally, I tried to get a picture of all this - a fourth prompt. It didn't work, but I got a description, which I used in a prompt of a picture generation AI, Deep AI. 

Did you learn something from the below? I think an LLM can help with quality like this. But the picture was quite disappointing to me. Anyway, I think I'll write my own stuff also in the future and ask Adri for more fantastic illustrations.

Me:

What is RPG?

Brave Leo:

RPG stands for "Role-Playing Game." It is a type of game where players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting and engage in activities to develop their characters. This can be done through various mediums, including tabletop games, video games, and card games.

Me:

Give me a RPG (Role Playing Game) scenario where knights attack a dragon from three sides with aid of archers.

Brave Leo:

In this RPG scenario, the brave knights of the Round Table have been tasked with defeating a menacing dragon that has taken residence in a nearby mountain cave. The dragon is known for its fierce fire breath and impenetrable scales.

The knights, along with their loyal band of archers, devise a plan to attack the dragon from three sides. The archers take their positions on the surrounding cliffs, hiding behind rocks and trees, ready to rain arrows down on the dragon as soon as it emerges from the cave.

The knights, meanwhile, approach the cave's entrances, swords and shields at the ready. They know that the dragon's scales are too tough to penetrate with a sword, but they hope to distract it and keep it from causing too much damage.

As the dragon emerges from the cave, the archers unleash a barrage of arrows, aiming for its eyes and any vulnerable spots. The dragon roars in anger and tries to take to the sky, but the knights charge forward, using their shields to deflect the dragon's flames and keep it grounded.

The battle rages on, with the knights and archers working together to wear down the dragon's defenses. In the end, their teamwork and bravery pay off, and they are able to defeat the dragon and save the kingdom from certain doom.

Me:

Summarize how the previous scenario can help to explain how software testing works.

Brave Leo:

The RPG scenario of knights attacking a dragon from three sides, with aid of archers, can be used to explain how software testing works in several ways:

1. Collaboration: Just like the knights and archers worked together to defeat the dragon, software testers must collaborate with developers, designers, and other team members to ensure that the software is of high quality.

2. Multiple Perspectives: The knights and archers approached the dragon from different angles, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Similarly, software testing requires multiple perspectives, including functional testing, usability testing, performance testing, and security testing, to ensure that the software is robust and reliable.

3. Continuous Improvement: The knights and archers learned from each attack, adjusting their strategy and tactics as needed. Similarly, software testing is an ongoing process, with testers continuously evaluating and improving the software to ensure that it meets the needs of its users.

4. Risk Management: The knights and archers knew that attacking the dragon was a risky endeavor, but they took calculated risks to ensure their success. Similarly, software testing involves identifying and managing risks, such as potential bugs or security vulnerabilities, to ensure that the software is safe and secure.

In summary, the RPG scenario highlights the importance of collaboration, multiple perspectives, continuous improvement, and risk management in software testing, demonstrating how these concepts can be applied to real-world scenarios.

Me:

Draw me a picture of dragon and knights fight representing software testing

Brave Leo:

"I'm an AI text-based assistant and can't draw, but I can describe a text-based representation of a dragon and knights fighting, symbolizing software testing:

"A dragon (bugs) and knights (testers) engage in an epic battle (testing process). The knights, armed with shields (test cases) and swords (code reviews), relentlessly fight the dragon, reducing its strength (fixing bugs). The battlefield is filled with both the knights' determination and the dragon's ferocity, symbolizing the constant struggle and eventual victory in software testing."

Article in Dimensio-magazine

I recently had a chance to write in the magazine of math teachers. Mathematics is one of the natural stepping stones towards software development and software testing. The association of math teachers (MAOL) has been interested in cooperation with me. They considered software testing to be an interesting angle for anyone interested in mathematics. I wrote about my book writing project and how software testing can be taught to children via a fantasy book. The article is in Finnish here: https://www.dimensiolehti.fi/opetetaan-lapsille-ohjelmistotestausta-fantasiakirjan-avulla/

Amazing feedback and school visits

Image
 I recently got some  amazing feedback  from a 9-year-old reader through his dad. The Dragons Out book was an exciting Christmas present that the boy started reading on his own. He did the exercises at the end of the chapters and was really thrilled about them ("I did all of those great exercises!"). Upon asking why the book was so thrilling, he answered, "It was a great book because it had true things and fantasy side by side, and the exercises were fun!". It feels so good to hear such feedback - keep it coming! The unique approach of fantasy coupled with testing works. Remember my school visits, earlier? It is  again time to have school visits in Finland , too. It is especially nice now that face-to-face meetings are possible, and I don't need to access the school class virtually over a Teams meeting. That works too, yes, with a teacher facilitating in the class, but it is so much nicer and more concrete to meet and teach children face-to-face. I asked for som

How it all started

I got my first idea for a book that would combine fantasy and software testing years ago. I wanted to find a way to make software testing interesting to kids. People in the software testing industry understand very well that there is always a shortage of software testing. It usually stems from not knowing enough about the importance of testing. Testing is easily considered a necessary evil. However, it is enormous fun and a profession of its own. Why not tell about the fun of software testing already to children in an engaging way? Dragons and knights found their way into my book. Finally, my sabbatical year gave me a chance to put some words together to make the story. I wrote the first draft of the first chapter in Finnish in late 2018 and sped up with the other chapters during the rest of my sabbatical in 2019.  There are many more steps to take, including deciding about the extent of illustration, negotiating with book publishers, and editing the book. But we'll get there soo
