What is cognitive testing all about?


Cognitive testing is a new class of testing and, as the name suggests, it leverages machine learning, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and other cognitive computing techniques. I recently participated in a workshop in an effort to identify testing use cases that can benefit from IBM Watson's cognitive intelligence to testing and that led me to create an offering on cognitive testing. In this section, I will cover the evolution of cognitive technology and available platforms, such as IBM Watson, methodologies involved in cognitive testing, benefits, technologies supported, sector-specific use cases, costs, and challenges in implementing.
