ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 14, 2022 - Katalon Inc., the leading provider of AI-augmented test automation for software, today announced that it has successfully completed a System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type II audit for security and data privacy practices as performed by Sensiba San Filipp (SSF).
Just in time for the holidays, we have a platform release with some new features and updates.
When testing debuted in the software development world, it was quickly relegated to a position at the end of the long and expensive waterfall cycle. This afterthought status belied the importance of testing in the software development life cycle, and it was also risky. If things went awry in the testing stage, everything could fall apart, resulting in delivery delays and costly, labor-intensive repairs.
We've been thinking long and hard about software testing and automation here at Katalon. We've noticed a shift in the Software Testing industry from Test Automation to Autonomous Software Testing (AUST). By "autonomous," we mean software testing that is completely driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), without any human intervention.
If you’re a quality engineer and software developer doing manual or automated testing, you’re almost certainly using single-point solutions. These can be great for specific problems but they lack the flexibility to deal with multiple issues at once. Thankfully, there is another (better) way to tackle challenges that also benefits teams and organizations in the long run.
Even the best error-free code is sometimes foiled in the visual rendering stage. You’ve done everything right — but even so, the screen resolution threw off your grid or a pop-up banner that covered your call-to-action button. Now your website is losing out on conversions, or your app is frustrating users who are unable to perform basic functions. Visual tests identify these kinds of issues before they reach your end users.
Today, the world is much more connected than it was a few years ago. Smartphones have brought an explosion of new technologies and applications that have fundamentally changed our lives. Why so? It's down to mobile applications. Mobile apps play a vital role in the broader process that advocates for digital transformation.
Functional testing comes in all shapes and sizes. So do functional testing tools.
Rigidity, delayed updates, or slow time-to-market - these problems can turn software testing into a bottleneck to the development pipeline and eventually a hindrance to the company’s overall growth. This is where agile methodology enters the scene, offering a flexible and responsive testing solution. Since its introduction, agile principles and practices have been popularly adopted among development teams who aim for fast, effective delivery and exceptional software experiences.
Functional testing is a stage in the software delivery lifecycle (also referred to as a ‘process’) in which quality engineers verify whether the application under test’s features behaves as per their requirements. Here are some typical examples of functional testing.
