Solution Overview

Problem

Current contact center testing systems fail to integrate customer experience (CX) and agent experience (AX) testing seamlessly, leading to separate and unsynchronized results that hinder comprehensive quality assurance and monitoring.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for integrated CX-AX contact center testing, utilizing a contact system test engine, synchronization service, and agent station to generate and synchronize interaction sequences with identity markers, log performance data, and compile unified reports for end-to-end analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If separate test platforms are used for CX and AX testing, then each platform can be optimized for its specific function, but the results cannot be synchronized or compared directly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting accuracyVSAvoidresult synchronization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges separate CX and AX testing platforms into a unified testing system that shares common infrastructure including test definition languages, execution engines, and result aggregation mechanisms. This integration allows simultaneous execution of both CX and AX tests with synchronized result collection, eliminating the information loss that occurs when tests run on separate platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal testing platform that can execute both CX tests (focusing on customer experience metrics) and AX tests (focusing on agent experience metrics) through a single system. The unified test definition language and execution engine provide multi-functionality, allowing the same infrastructure to support diverse testing objectives while maintaining result synchronizability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate testing systems are used, then comprehensive coverage of different testing aspects is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting coverageVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the testing system into modular functional components including test definition modules, execution engines, result collection agents, and aggregation services. Each module handles specific aspects of testing (CX or AX) independently but communicates through standardized interfaces, achieving comprehensive testing coverage while managing complexity through modular architecture rather than monolithic separate systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary components such as a unified test definition language and result aggregation service that mediate between different testing functions. These intermediaries standardize communication between CX and AX testing components, allowing comprehensive testing coverage without the complexity of direct integration between multiple separate systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If unified reporting is implemented, then end-to-end analysis is enabled, but integration of different data formats and sources becomes challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresult aggregationVSAvoiddata integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms diverse test result data from different sources (CX and AX tests) into a unified parameter structure through standardized result schemas. By changing the parameter representation of various test outcomes into a common format, the system enables seamless aggregation and end-to-end analysis without complex custom integration logic for each data source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
