As you can see in the 2023:Course Schedule there is one Wednesday reserved as a Data Collection Day. By this time you should have a bot that is test ready(that does not mean you cannot improve upon it later of course)!
For your bot to be test ready:
It should run…
It should be able to filter recipes by at least one filter
On the start page, you should include brief instructions and an overview of the bot's capabilities (especially extensions)
The goal of this day is for you to test another team’s bot and for another team to test yours. Your team will run/observe the testing of your bot and record/gather what you think the relevant data is. The other team should test your bot individually. Be sure to think about what you want to test and how to do that. Also, consider that the greatest advantage of having another team test your bot is that they could take different routes/approaches to conversations.
On this day we will:
Pair teams together
pair teams - Team who created bot - invite other team members individually - team 2 tests- team 1 gathers and records data (needs to supervise test)
