Context
Testing the izDox AI Platform, designed for document processing and extraction, presented significant challenges due to the complexity of verifying model outputs manually. This manual verification process was time-consuming and impacted testing performance, requiring testers to spend substantial time on documentation and report generation. To address these challenges, an automated testing platform was designed and developed to expedite and enhance the accuracy of product testing, reducing testing times by 85%. This system streamlined operations by automating repetitive tasks, allowing testers to focus on refining testing strategies and ensuring continuous improvement through integrated data analytics.
