My Testing Thoughts

  Tired of AI giving too much or too little info? Here’s something that can help. Use this prompt at the start of your conversation: “If I add * at the end of my question, please provide a concise, to-the-point response. If I add **, provide a full and comprehensive response. If I do not provide any symbols, please provide a standard response.” Now, guide ChatGPT’s response style like this: 🔹 Add * → Short and crisp 🔹 Add ** → Deep and detailed 🔹 No symbol → Balanced by default ✅ Why it works: You stay in control of the depth No need to rewrite your prompt every time It works across any use case — writing, planning, learning, and ideating Small tweak. Huge flexibility. Try it and see the difference. 🚀  

When using GenAI tools like ChatGPT for test case generation, reviewing requirements, or analyzing user stories, we often need to provide context in chunks. 📌 Start your conversation with this prompt: “ I will be sending you several pieces of information in multiple messages. For each one, your only job is to acknowledge that you’ve received it with a simple message like “Acknowledged”—nothing more. Please do not take any action or provide any analysis or output until I send a final message with the instruction: “Now proceed.” Only then should you act on the information shared. “ 🛑 Why this works: -> It stops the model from responding after every input -> Ensures the model waits until you’ve shared all details -> Prevents premature or incomplete answers -> Mimics a real approach: gather context first, then act with precision It helps the model listen first, then act — just like a good teammate would. 💡 Whether you’re feeding in test data, requirement docs, or bug logs — ...

  Custom Instructions in ChatGPT, also known as   Tailored Preferences   are the best way to control ChatGPT’s output easily. Example 1: Like, if you are drained of typing “Give a brief response” or “Please respond in length” like me? Try following this instruction. If I add * at the end of my question, please provide a concise, to-the-point response. If I add **, provide a full and comprehensive response. If I do not provide any symbols, please provide a standard response. Example 2: We can control the model’s temperature using APIs, but there is no way to do it through the UI. You can use the following instruction to have GPT follow temperature. If I specify a temperature range of 0 to 1 at the conclusion of the question, please react accordingly: Temperature 0 indicates highly deterministic responses, thus you should always run a web search before responding. Temperature 1 gives for greater creativity and freedom in reaction.
