How To Optimize CX Testing And Turn It Into An Efficient, Productive Process

 


With the CX industry constantly evolving, organizations need to ensure that their CX testing process is agile and efficient because it ensures that they are getting maximum value out of the process. However, CX engineers are struggling to draw meaningful value from platform testing because conventional testing methods are difficult to do effectively. While these tests might be reliable, they are also time-consuming and costly to complete. This could deny organizations the benefits of testing while also making the process more risky and costly than before.

 

However, there is a way to make the testing process more efficient and productive than before by automating the process. Automating the testing procedure can help organizations achieve the benefits of testing and experimentation while reducing the cost and risk of testing. Hence, in this article, we will explore how CX platform testing can be converted into an efficient, productive process using an automated CX management platform.

 

Resolving CX testing woes with a CX management solution 

 

Tracking configuration changes in real-time

 

An issue with CX testing is a lack of transparency. CX engineers do not have real-time insight into the flow of configuration data in the system. Without proper insight, engineers don't get the proper context of test results, denying them opportunities to critically analyze them and make further improvements to CX workflows. Moreover, if unauthorized configuration changes were made it becomes impossible to rectify the error, destabilizing the testing process.

 

A CX management solution can rectify this issue by giving CX engineers real-time insight into how configuration flows throughout the ecosystem. This gives engineers real-time data on configuration flows, so they get the latest information on recent developments within the ecosystem. Having this information would give organizations far better insight into testing, making the process more effective and valuable, while reducing its risks.

 

Shifting configuration code between different environments

 

Turning the results from initial tests into insight that can improve CX processes in the future is a risky proposition. The risk arises because CX engineers have to shift configuration code from development to production, which can be difficult to do without disrupting platform functions, an obstruction that makes configuration adjustments risky and denies organizations the chance to quickly implement the benefits of testing.

 

However, management solutions come with development, testing, and production environments that are completely separate from each other. Having separate environments allows engineers to develop new code and test it without worrying about how it would affect production environments. This gives engineers the freedom to update configuration code and test changes before migrating to the production environment. The new method would give engineers the freedom they need to make repairs and upgrades as indicated, test them to determine if they would augment performance and migrate them into the production environment if tests were successful. This makes the testing process more efficient and makes the platform more stable and less volatile.

 

Managing multiple environments from a single interface

 

Testing a multi-vendor ecosystem can be difficult; CX engineers have to consider different technical requirements and different formats, meaning that engineers must use different techniques to test these different vendors, which makes the testing process convoluted and time-consuming. Moreover, engineers cannot see how configuration data flow throughout the ecosystem, making it impossible to conduct any comprehensive testing or use the insights in any meaningful way.

 

However, a management solution can address some of these issues, thanks to a generic interface that can host different vendors in a single location. This allows engineers to monitor configuration flows between all CX vendors on a single screen, streamlining the testing process and creating a more transparent environment. With a more transparent environment, engineers can better monitor any testing process and see how the vendors react to CX testing in real-time, which allows them to monitor multiple environments at once to save time and resources normally invested in CX platform testing, making it more cost-efficient than before.

 

Getting detailed results on testing while reducing costs 

 

As the standards for CX evolve, organizations need to ensure that their testing process remains as agile and productive as possible. Investing in an automated CX management platform can help alleviate many of the problems that have been traditionally associated with testing while doubling down on the benefits.

 

With the recent events leading to a spike in call volumes, many organizations are turning to more cost-efficient channels to better serve customers and keep business partners happy.  Optimizing CX testing can help organizations meet their goals while also reducing the risk of testing.
