Webdriver connector for Botium - Tool for testing Conversational UI by Shama Ugale #SeConf2020
Channel: ConfEngine
Date: 07/01/2021

Last year was dominated by the smart devices & voice based home assistants. These use the conversational interfaces unlike other applications to interact, built using advanced algorithms, ranging from natural language processing to AI/ML techniques. They are constantly learning by themselves improving the interactions with the user bringing up the challenge of non-deterministic output. To such interfaces, natural language is the input & we humans love having alternatives & love our synonyms, express using emojis gifs & pictures. Testing in this context moves to clouds of probabilities.
 
Unfortunately Selenium cannot be used to automate such systems and hence Botium was designed. 

In this session I will cover the Selenium driver for Botium to automate E2E tests on Web UI and mobile  along with testing strategy, testing NLP models &  automating these tests to the CI/CD build pipelines with a DialogFlow based 'Coffee-Shop bot' as an example during my demo.
