Appvance Launches AI-Driven Test Automation

#artificialintelligence

Appvance has announced a breakthrough using artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically create and maintain scripts for testing software applications. By modeling human testers, including manual and test automation tasks such as scripting, Appvance has developed algorithms and expert systems to take on those tasks, similar to how driverless vehicle software models what a human driver does. AI-driven test automation is available to preview today, commercially in October, and requires no changes or added code in applications under test. Most software testing today is manual (up to 90% based on recent industry surveys). The rest is semi-automated by writing scripts in various languages such as Selenium or Java to repeat actions for future tests.

Engadget

The new Tomb Raider manages to be both, which means it's already facing an uphill battle. The trailer for the wannabe blockbuster is here, with Alicia Vikander picking up the mantle from the original Lara Croft, Angelina Jolie. One Oscar winner replacing another is not a bad place to start. But, somehow the other puzzle pieces don't seem to align. Fans of the recent video games will be happy to hear that it sticks closely to 2013's Tomb Raider (itself a reboot of sorts).

#artificialintelligence

New research from Capgemini's Digital Transformation Institute shows that four out of five companies implementing AI have created new jobs as a result of AI technology Paris, September 7, 2017 – Capgemini, a global leader in consulting, technology and outsourcing services, has today announced the findings of "Turning AI into concrete value: the successful implementers' toolkit", a study of nearly 1,000 organizations with revenues of more than $500m that are implementing artificial intelligence (AI), either as a pilot or at scale[1]. The research both counters fears that AI will cause massive job losses in the short term, as 83% of firms surveyed say AI has generated new roles in their organizations, and highlights the growth opportunity presented by AI: three-quarters of firms have seen a 10% uplift in sales, directly tied to AI implementation. The report, which surveyed executives from nine countries and across seven sectors, found that four out of five companies (83%) have created new jobs as a result of AI technology. Specifically, organizations are producing jobs at a senior level, with two in three jobs being created at the grade of a manager or above. Furthermore, among organizations that have implemented AI at scale, more than 3 in 5 (63%) said that AI has not destroyed any jobs in their organization.

Tomb Raider: is the Alicia Vikander reboot just Gap Yah: The Movie?

The Guardian

It was big on Instagram last year. White Saviour Barbie only had one joke, but it was a doozy: it followed the adventures of a wide-eyed Barbie doll as she travelled through the developing world on a gap year in the naive assumption that she was somehow helping. "What better way to bless the villagers than a fresh coat of paint?!" she asked in one post. "Many of them don't know the calming effect that just the right color can provide. I'm just doing what I can to help these huts become homes".

The next big act out of Abbey Road could be an AI startup

#artificialintelligence

Between 1962 and 1970, the Beatles recorded nearly all their singles and albums at London's Abbey Road Studios using one of EMI's innovative REDD mixing consoles. Five decades later, the studio is turning to startups to keep up with the pace of technological change. "We are aware of the studio's heritage of continually tracking technology as it changed over the years," says Jon Eades, innovation manager at Abbey Road Red, the studio's technology incubator, which launched in 2015. Abbey Road Red runs six-month mentoring programmes, giving music-technology startups access to the famous studio's experts and facilities, not to mention a foot in the door with Universal Music, which has owned the complex since buying out EMI in 2012. The third wave of startups graduate in October and their track record is impressive.
