We have examined the standard approaches used for development, testing, and tuning of applications. Some of these steps (e.g., dialog tuning) are typically performed by the VUI designer. Other steps are often performed by other team members, especially in large organizations.

In Chapters 16 and 17, we discuss grammar development and voice coaching in depth. These two activities are unique to the design of voice user interfaces. In both, the designer often plays the lead role.
