Any test activity involves three main components, i.e., environment (where the tests take place), protocol (defining what activities are executed and how), and evaluation metrics (used to assess the results of the tests). This service concerns the second element, i.e., the design of the testing procedure for digital systems such as (for instance) AI models or computer vision software. The digital environment and the evaluation metrics can be designed—if required—via services S00176 and S00178. In the context of testing customers’ solutions within digital environments, this service is targeted at designing a suitable protocol for digital testing based on the use cases specified by the customer. The components of the testing protocol can include: - Selecting the datasets to be used for testing - Selecting reference AI models to be used for testing (if needed) - Choosing data formats and metadata standards. - Defining data pre-processing and preparation steps - Defining values and ranges of test parameters- Defining the different phases of the protocol- Outlining the operations to be executed in each phase- Thoroughly describing the protocol specifics to ensure reproducibility Datasets to be used for testing can be provided by AgrifoodTEF and/or by the customer; if nothing suitable is available, other AgrifoodTEF services can be leveraged to collect and/or generate tailored data. The technical team executing this service comprises expert engineers but can also involve agronomists when this is necessary to ensure the relevance of the tests for the use case, e.g., to determine the distribution of test repetitions across the variation ranges.

By having your AI system tested by the LNE, you ensure it meets the highest standards of safety and performance, boosting your product’s reliability and trustworthiness in the market. Partnering with the LNE for rigorous testing of your AI technologies gives you a competitive edge, as their certification enhances credibility and opens doors to new market opportunities both locally and globally. LNE's AI performance evaluation service uses comprehensive testing datasets to assess the accuracy, robustness, and efficiency of your AI systems by comparing the outputs of the system with a dataset of reference values. By testing real-world scenarios, LNE ensures that your AI models meet industry standards and regulatory requirements, helping you improve performance, reliability, and market readiness. LNE utilises a diverse range of carefully curated datasets that simulate various operating conditions and environments in which the AI may be deployed. These datasets allow for in-depth testing of the system’s ability to process information, make decisions, and produce accurate outputs. The service covers a broad spectrum of AI applications, from machine learning models and deep learning algorithms to computer vision systems, natural language processing (NLP), and autonomous robotics. The evaluation process examines key performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, response time and scalability. It also identifies any potential biases in the system, ensuring that the AI behaves fairly and ethically across different user groups or environmental variables.
