Voice Is a New Frontier! Testing next Generation Interfaces - Lucian Adrian Stroie

The best interface is told to be the one that is seamless to interact with, and a new wave of interfaces based on text, voice or gestures is emerging based on this motto.

At the same time, these interfaces make use of advanced algorithms, ranging from pattern and expression matching engines to natural language processing, sometimes backed by AI algorithms and wrapped around as API services.

Given these starting conditions, testing interfaces based on voice, natural language, gestures or other camera-based inputs can raise challenges, from both the novelty as well as from the complexity point of view.

During this session the most important aspects of testing such interfaces will be covered sharing real-life experience on putting together the test strategy, tooling, hinting what to do and what to look for, highlighting the importance of modelling intents and transitions in the state-machine model of the tested system.
