Week 6Mission Control

Start with what you know.

When someone changes something for you, like a repair or a new schedule, how do you check that it is right?

Share one example. Passing is welcome.

Week 6Mission Control

Tonight's goals

By the end of tonight, you can:

  1. Part 1 · Edge: Test a page with written checks.
  2. Part 2 · Edge: Write a request an AI agent can follow.
  3. Part 3 · Edge: Report a change nobody asked for.
  4. Part 4 · Edge: Retest a repair, not just the fix.

After these four parts: a course review, then the post-test.

Week 6Mission Control

How tonight works.

  1. 1
    Watch the step on the big screen.
  2. 2
    Do the same step on your computer.
  3. 3

Week 6Working in: Microsoft EdgePart 1 of 4

Now working in: Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge shows web pages. Tonight we use one practice page, a made-up list of community resources with a search box. It runs on your computer. Nothing you type leaves the page.

You will make: a test table with what version 1 really did for four searches.

Goal 1: Test a page with written checks

Week 6Working in: Microsoft EdgePart 1 · Why it matters

Write the checks. Then test.

  1. 1
    A check says what to type and what you expect to see.
  2. 2
    Write your checks before you ask for any change. Then you can tell if a change helped or hurt.
  3. 3
    What you see on the screen is the evidence. A confident answer from an AI is not.
Week 6Working in: Microsoft EdgePart 1 · Watch

Watch: write checks before asking for code

Watch for: checks that a stranger could carry out without guessing.

Week 6Working in: Microsoft EdgePart 2 of 4

Still working in: Microsoft Edge

An AI agent can change a page for you. It does better when you say what to change and what must stay the same.

You will make: a four-line request, and a guess for each of the four searches.

Goal 2: Write a request an AI agent can follow

Week 6Working in: Microsoft EdgePart 2 · Why it matters

One change. Say what must stay the same.

  1. 1
    Ask for one change. A big wish like make it better cannot be tested.
  2. 2
    Say what must stay the same. Without that, the agent may change things you did not ask for.
  3. 3
    Say where it may work: change only this file.

Choose an answer, then explain your reason.

Week 6Working in: Microsoft EdgePart 3 of 4

Still working in: Microsoft Edge

The agent has made its change. It is saved as version 2. A change can fix what you asked for and break something else.

Week 6Working in: Microsoft EdgePart 3 · Why it matters

A change can break what used to work.

  1. 1

Week 6Working in: Microsoft EdgePart 4 · Why it matters

A practice page is not a real service.

  1. 1
    This page runs on one computer with made-up entries. A real service has real sign-ins, private data or payments, and needs much more care.
  2. 2
    A picture of a sign-in box is not security. It protects nothing.
