Case Study
AI-Suggested &
Human Reviewed
Designing how performance engineers used an AI suggestion model which reduced manual effort of converting hardcoded values to dynamic value.
Let's have some glimpse first...


My Role
Research + FA +PM + {Design} + Engineering + Data Engineers
Discovery
-
Identified core parameterization pain points with support from performance engineering SMEs and support ticket analysis.
-
Strategised a phased rollout plan with PM, including time for user testing, explainability validation, and governance review
Development
-
Collaborated with the VuGen engineering team to define and ship the Parameter Candidate AI feature.
-
Collaborated with OpenText's AI Design Principles working group to align the feature with published UX-for-AI standards.
-
Validated UX through moderated testing with performance engineers.
-
Ensured implementation fidelity working directly with engineers on confidence-score thresholds and override behavior.
-
Worked with the data science team to define KPIs measuring suggestion accuracy and adoption
⏳ 6 weeks explorations.. in progress.
🖥 VuGen Desktop, integrated within the DevOps toolchain.

Setting some context, before we begin…
Ecosystem - DevOps (ADM)
-
VuGen is the script recording and editing tool at the front of OpenText's performance testing pipeline.
-
It lets performance engineers record real user transactions and turn them into repeatable, data-driven load test scripts, which then flow into LoadRunner Enterprise (LRE) for execution.
What is VuGen?



Current Experience
More manual and time consuming...

Validating the problem
Why AI-Assisted feature was required?


Current user flow..

Current opportunities...


Validating opportunitines
Brainstorming & decisions...


Along with feature addition
Redesigning the space...


Output
AI-suggestions in the user flow..


What next...in progress
Questions we are asking and validating...

Can AI show occurrence as well, if the name is repeated?
When the user discard, how can we undo it?
Can the AI understand how sure it is or can they show the confidence in their suggestion?
How to provide further filtration options for the script, when the script is data heavy?
What other setting does a user need, or what can they customized in (AI Suggestions) while the AI scans?
and a lot more...
What next...in progress
Questions we are asking and validating...
Detection earns trust only when paired with visible preview before commit.
Transparency
Discovery was the real bottleneck not the replacement mechanics.
Discoverability
Flexibility
Suggest naming templates; don't enforce team conventions.
Scalability
One shared model tuned by team feedback scaled better than per-workflow patches.
I will be more than happy to walkthrough you with the process, validations, assumptions we made... :)
