Eggplant is releasing an update to its Digital Automation Intelligence (DAI) Suite that it says will make automation simpler. The new capabilities adds automated user experience testing to the company’s existing solution and is designed to make it easier for teams to test the performance and usability of their products, ensuring that they deliver a better user experience, Eggplant explained.
“Optimizing the customer experience is the holy grail for all digital businesses,” said Antony Edwards, COO of Eggplant. “But most teams we speak to tell us that they don’t have the time or skills for performance and usability testing. These new capabilities in Eggplant’s DAI suite mean that every testing team can now quickly and easily do performance and usability testing in addition to the functional testing they are already doing.”
Sensory acquires Vocalize.ai
Speech recognition company Sensory has acquired Vocalize.ai, which is a software tools company that offers benchmarking, accuracy assessments, and bias evaluations for speech technologies. After the acquisition, Vocalize.ai will remain as an independently operated division.
“As more companies add voice to their products, there is growing need for an independent evaluation service and software tools that ensure a quality user experience,” said Joe Murphy, CEO of Vocalize.ai. “It’s exciting to have access to the deep bench of AI and machine learning talent and resources of Sensory. It is also important to recognize that Vocalize.ai will operate as an independent company under the Sensory umbrella. In this model, we will continue to provide quality evaluations and competitive benchmarking services for the entire voice-enabled industry.”
