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

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.

By the end of this session, you'll be able to:

  • What is a non-conventional / next generation interface
  • How can I build my testing approach for such an interface
  • What from my current toolset can I use for this new context
  • What are aspects to consider when encountering AI in the tester systems
Technology Lead
The important things are mindsets! They will change you!” is Lucian’s motto. He is currently working at R/GA where he has the opportunity to work with new technologies, brilliant design people and crafty developers, this blend resulting in award-winning & innovative user experiences. His journey into testing started in 2005, and since then he took an interest in many things related to testing & agile His testing experience covers a wide range, from networking & embedded to mobile apps, going through security and desktop applications. His recent interest is in exploring the interaction between users, computer interfaces, and data-driven methods (e.g. AI, ML).
