Beyond Simple Responses: Building Truly Conversational LLM Chatbots
“I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Please rephrase your question.” We’ve all been there. You’re trying to get help from a chatbot, thinking you’re being crystal clear, and then bam—this frustrating response appears. Just when you think you’re having a productive conversation, the bot fails to grasp context, forgets what you said two messages ago, or simply can’t handle anything beyond its pre-programmed scripts. I still...

AI-Driven Test Automation Techniques for Multimodal Systems
Abstract The prominent growth of multimodal systems, which integrate text, speech, vision, and gesture as inputs, has introduced new challenges for software testing. Traditional testing frameworks are not designed to address the dynamic interactions and contextual dependencies inherent to these systems. AI-driven test automation solutions provide transformative solutions by automating test scenario generation, bug...
