Nu Echo Introduces the Mirador IVR Application Monitoring Service

February 8, 2011 – 10:34 am

The most effective way to make sure your speech or Touch-Tone IVR systems are up and running and provide the user experience you expect

MONTREAL, QC, February 8, 2011 – Nu Echo, creator of the NuBot Automated IVR Testing Platform, is introducing Mirador, an IVR Monitoring Service that makes sure your speech or Touch-Tone IVR systems are up and running and provide the user experience you expect.

Mirador continuously calls your IVR applications at regular intervals and simulates callers going through various application transactions, providing real-time notifications of performance degradations or system failures, as well as periodic reports detailing the system’s performance over time. Because this is all done remotely from our hosted platform, there is nothing to install at the IVR premises and there is no need to modify the IVR applications.

NuGram IDE 2.2 available now!

June 16, 2010 – 9:08 am

Together with the introduction of NuGram Server Free Developer Edition, the Nu Echo team is pleased to announce that it also releases NuGram IDE 2.2. With this new release, designing and testing dynamic grammars has never been easier.

The most important feature introduced in this release is the support for Java to populate dynamic grammars. When using NuGram IDE, you use the exact same code to test and tune your grammar that will run in production, but without the long deployment cycle associated with stopping, deploying and restarting a Java web application. And deploying your grammars in NuGram Server is as simple as deploying JSP pages.

The free Basic Edition can be downloaded directly from within your Eclipse environment. Simply follow the download instructions. Or contact us for the Professional Edition.

NuGram 2.1 available now!

March 30, 2010 – 9:49 am

The Nu Echo team is proud to announce the availability of NuGram 2.1.

The noteworthy new features in this release are:

  • Enhanced sentence generation tool (NuGram IDE)
     The sentence generation algorithm has been further improved and a new strategy (Rule examples) has been added. Sentences can now be generated from specific sentence patterns. Also, the generation process can be stopped.
  • New sentence explorer (NuGram IDE)
    The user interface of the sentence explorer has been completely changed. It is now much more intuitive and easy to use. It also allows sentence patterns to be added to the sentence generation tool.
  • Semantic interpretation optimizations
    All supported semantic tag languages based on ECMAScript have been optimized (compiled scripts are now properly cached). This dramatically increases the performance of the coverage test tool.
  • Complete rewrite of the underlying parsing algorithm
    The algorithm that matches sentences with the grammar rules has been completely rewritten. It is now much more efficient, in terms of speed and memory consumption.
  • Post-processing API (NuGram Server SDK / Professional Edition only)
    NuGram Server now provides an API to implement and deploy application-specific post-processing routines.
  • Initial support for different target ASR engines (NuGram IDE)
    It is now possible to specify the target ASR engine in the preferences. This affects the way words in grammars are normalized, and also how grammars are converted to GrXML.
  • Small enhancements to the ABNF dynamic grammar templating language
    The templating language now supports new forms, like optional grammar headers.
  • Many small improvements and bug fixes

The free Basic Edition can be downloaded directly from within your Eclipse environment. Simply follow the download instructions. Or contact us for the Professional Edition.

Please, let us know what you think of these new features!

Nu Bot

The NuBot automated IVR testing platform now generally available

December 15, 2009 – 11:02 am

Ever wanted to get access to an easy to use and affordable platform for your automated IVR tests?

Today, the Nu Echo team is delighted to announce the general availability of the NuBot Platform to the developer community, following a successful beta period that ended on November 30th.

With the NuBot Platform, you can:

  • Get a free copy of the NuBot Integrated Testing Environment (ITE), a powerful Eclipse-based environment for developing test scripts of any complexity, managing tests, and performing extensive analysis of test results.
  • Run tests, small or large, using the NuBot Hosted Service, and only have to pay for your actual use of the service.

While hosted IVR testing services have been available for some time, NuBot is unique in giving away all the tools required in order to be in complete control of the entire testing process. This provides you with the best of both worlds: Complete autonomy and access to an on-demand platform to execute your tests.

To quote Andreas Volmer, Presales Manager EMEA at Voxeo VoiceObjects:

“I found NuBot easy to master and a very powerful addition to my automated testing portfolio. I can only recommend to get your hands on it and try it; it’s about time that we take automated testing more seriously in the IVR application business.”
