IQAL: Intelligent Quality Assurance Layer to Drive an Automated, Agile and Risk-sensitive QA Process

Whenever a translation is completed in the TMS, the QA tool is invoked and the results are benchmarked against predetermined acceptance levels. Depending on the output, the TMS decides how to progress the workflow.
