Testing audio is not like testing UI or APIs—it involves waveform fidelity, timing precision, real-time feedback, and nuanced signal behavior. That’s what makes this talk so relevant for modern test engineers.

In this presentation, the presenter breaks down how Yousician built a custom audio testing framework to validate features.

Their team automates audio validation using a clever combination of synthetic input generation, waveform analysis, and signal comparison. It is a rare look at a test system built to verify sound, timing, and quality across different platforms and environments - without relying on manual ears-on testing.

Why This Matters for QA Teams

• Audio features are becoming increasingly common (think voice commands, speech feedback, music, accessibility).

• Traditional test strategies often fall short when it comes to verifying sound-based functionality.

• Automation frameworks can and should extend into this space.

If you are working in test automation, mobile apps, or media-rich applications, this is a must-watch. [ Full Video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl6KQ3qoYjY ]

Have you tackled audio testing in your projects? I’d love to hear how you approached it - or if this inspires you to start.
