Abstract: Chatbots are one class of intelligent, conversational software agents activated by natural language input (which can be in the form of text, voice, or both). They provide conversational output in response, and if commanded, can sometimes also execute tasks. Although chatbot technologies have existed since the 1960’s and have influenced user interface development in...
Deal with change in software development (TDD)
September 24, 2018 by Bartek Rohard Warszawski
I often hear developers complain that the specifications, demands, and technology change to quickly. So how can developers deal with it? Change is after all the key aspect that complicates the design and development process. Often it is not even a question of delivering quality, but pure survival of the delivery. One day I got the...
Cognitive QA – From Idiocracy to Artificial Intelligence
September 18, 2018 by Andrew Fullen
Whenever anyone asks me to explain Cognitive QA and the tools we’re developing at Sogeti, it makes me think about the discovery that, over the past 20,000 years, the average volume of the human brain has decreased from 1,500cc to 1,350cc. Professor Gerald Crabtree, paleoanthropologist John Hawks and Cognitive Scientist David Geary are amongst the...

PRA on a Shoestring with San Francisco DePOT
July 12, 2018 by Sogeti Labs
The Product Risk Analysis (or PRA in short) is often associated with old school waterfall development practices and as such deemed non-Agile. I think that is a misconception. True, I’ve witnessed PRA sessions with an overload of participants that took ages to complete. Conducted this way the PRA does not fit the Agile way of...

Is (Artificial) Intelligence Needed for Testing?
June 12, 2018 by Albert Tort
The word “Intelligence” comes directly from Latin intelligentia, which is defined as “understanding, knowledge, the power of discerning; art, skill, taste,” and the present participle of intelligere “to understand, comprehend, come to know,” which combines inter (between) and Legere (choose). Yes… we need to continuously define, evaluate and choose between different alternatives in our life....
