Data Quality Assessment: A Methodology for Success: "The world's most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data", stated The Economist. Many have noticed the increased value of data — from contact information to buying patterns — and how vital it is to so many aspects of business operations. Data can be used for marketing strategies, business intelligence, customer behavior patterns and so much more. But how can one be sure the data is reliable? Ultimately, bad data can lead to bad business decisions.
The evolution and future of AI-driven testing: Ensuring quality and addressing bias: Automated testing began as a way to alleviate the repetitive and time-consuming tasks associated with manual testing. Early tools focused on running predefined scripts to check for expected outcomes, significantly reducing human error and increasing test coverage.

The evolution and future of AI-driven testing: Ensuring quality and addressing bias: Automated testing began as a way to alleviate the repetitive and time-consuming tasks associated with manual testing. Early tools focused on running predefined scripts to check for expected outcomes, significantly reducing human error and increasing test coverage. With advancements in AI, particularly in machine learning and natural language processing, testing tools have become more sophisticated. AI-driven tools can now learn from previous tests, predict potential defects, and adapt.
Contact Center QA Analysis: Aligning your Contact Center's quality assurance (QA) or quality monitoring program with strategic objectives can be a challenging task, but doing so ensures that future performance has a direct impact on customer satisfaction. And that makes it worth the effort.
The Future is Now — Application Testing with AI: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken the world by storm — from retail, banking, healthcare, marketing, and more. AI is transforming the digital landscape and continues to grow in importance every day. AI is making similar strides in application development and testing, with teams racing to determine how AI will help them achieve a faster time to market, improve software quality, and mitigate risks. Research from EY supports this notion that time is of the essence.
