Evolution of cognitive technology and available platforms

Cognitive computing is evolving, and the transformation is taking place from descriptive analytics to predictive analytics. The logical next step is to move toward prescriptive analytics to start taking decisions based on the analyzed information. This would create opportunities to create self-service testing platforms with self-healing capabilities. The advances in natural language processing would lead to more advanced scriptless testing solutions. Smart speech-to-text processing would enable the business users to narrate requirements in natural language orally and be able to convert them to automated test suites using scriptless testing techniques. Neuromorphic systems and neuro-enable firmware can be used for smart environment handling and intelligent test data management.

Some of the platforms available that offer cognitive intelligence are as follows:

  • OpenAI: This is a nonprofit artificial intelligence research platform to benefit...
