This study examines key metrics for assessing the performance of AI applications. With AI rapidly expanding across industries, these metrics ensure systems are reliable, efficient, and effective. The paper analyzes measures like Return on Investment, Customer Satisfaction, Business Process Efficiency, Accuracy and Predictability, and Risk Mitigation. These metrics collectively provide valuable insights into an AI application's quality and reliability. The paper also explores how AI and Machine Learning have transformed software testing processes. These technologies have increased efficiency, enhanced coverage, enabled automated test case generation, accelerated defect detection, and enabled predictive analytics. This revolution in testing is discussed in detail. Best practices for testing AI applications are presented. Comprehensive test coverage, robust model training, data privacy safeguards, and integrating modern techniques are emphasized. Common challenges like explainability, acquiring quality test data, monitoring model performance, privacy concerns, and fostering tester developer collaboration are also addressed.
