While the industry is racing to develop and implement artificial intelligence into its systems, cultural resistance, a skills gap, and the speed with which AI is changing are just a few of the factors why many AI projects fail. Because of that, most attempts at adopting AI into organizations never make it past the pilot … continue reading
For decades, software testing has been built on a simple idea: humans write tests, machines run them. That model has persisted since the first commercial recorders appeared in the mid-1990s. Testers would record a flow, edit a script, maintain it as the application evolved, and repeat the cycle endlessly. Tools improved incrementally, but the basic … continue reading

As every company moves to implement AI in some form or another, data is king. Without quality data to train on, the AI likely won’t deliver the results people are looking for and any investment made into training the model won’t pay off in the way it was intended. “If you’re training your AI model … continue reading
