Contact Center Testing – STAMP

Companies are constantly enhancing their contact center technology to positively influence interactions and response times, with the intention of improving customer satisfaction, retention, and revenue. Contact center systems including Interactive Voice Response systems must work together well with the different technical components in an omnichannel environment.

However, if the implementation of new contact center functionality and technology isn’t properly tested, these improvements can become a burden to both the customer and the contact center staff. This requires accurate and comprehensive contact center system testing. A highly functional Testing process gives customers a flawless customer experience they are looking for. Automated contact center testing is becoming the norm to remain competitive and to meet Agile/ DevOps delivery goals.

The backbone to a successful testing strategy is a comprehensive solution that can automate tests, record and report system responses, and alert teams about problems.

Pointel STAMP- System Test and Monitoring Platform provides IT and business users the ability to automate end-to-end testing, ensuring that all systems work cohesively together for the optimal customer and agent experience.

By automating the contact center’s customer interaction testing process, STAMP ensures that systems are cohesively and consistently functioning under various real-world conditions. It executes customer-to-agent interaction tests and measures interaction responses that affect customer experience by capturing prompts, responses, interaction times, speech recognition, back-end integration issues and more.

Testimonial

Infrastructure Architect

“STAMP has allowed us to make changes faster and identify issues beforehand. It has reduced our testing time and allowed us to go to our UAT and business partners with more confidence, knowing that what we’ve built is going to work.”

STAMP

System Test and Monitoring Platform Provides End-to-End Contact Center Testing

STAMP

Provides a Variety of Effective Performance Tests

Load Testing

STAMP generates actual interaction volume (call, E-mail, chat, webform, SMS) to load test contact centers, creating real-world conditions and ensuring systems are sized and configured correctly.

Functional Testing

For developmental assurances, STAMP performs and records end-to-end contact center testing. It provides verification that systems are working as designed, including call flow validation, data transfer across different applications, and system response time within an acceptable range.

Stress Testing

STAMP analyzes how contact centers function during stress conditions and uses high volume simulation to measure responsiveness under duress such as outages, incidents, or disasters.

Regression Testing

As new Contact Center Testing features and functionality are rolled out, STAMP can perform regression tests to ensure systems are stable, reliable, and there has been no impact to existing customer experience.

Heartbeat Monitoring

STAMP verifies that production environments are functioning all of the time and providing expected responses. If failures are detected, STAMP alerts operations before the customer’s experience is negatively impacted.
