Features
Within the SpeechEval project we were facing many challenges and implemented different functionalities. In the following we shortly list some of our main features and system charateristics:- Automated end-to-end tests without human callers: Realization of an end-to-end user simulation, based on probabilistic features extracted from a corpus.
- Functionality testing: Testing of specific SDS sub-components, e.g. automatic speech recognition (ASR), dialog manager (DM), etc.
- Scripted dialogs: Definition of a specific dialog flow for the verification of specific dialog situations.
- Stay-alive testing: Short test to examine the accessibility of a system.
- Domain and System independence: Our user simulation is based on a large human-machine corpus, which covers many different state-of-the-art systems covering many different domains. Additionally, our simulation approach is domain independent. For more information see our publications.
- Fast development time: We are extracting our knowledge sources semi-automatically from the corpus. This reduces the development time for setting up a new simulation.
