Spoken by a human version of this article.TL;DR (TL;DL?)Testing is a core basic step for algorithmic integrity.Testing involves various stages, from developer self-checks to UAT. Where these happen will depend on whether the system is built in-house or bought.Testing needs to cover several integrity aspects, including accuracy, fairness, security, privacy, and performance.Continuous testing is needed for AI systems, differing from traditional testing due to the way these newer systems change (without code changes).
