With the growth in the number of electric and autonomous vehicles, where the vast majority of components are built on software, the amount of code in a vehicle is only going to increase. Connectivity, both within the vehicle and outside, is also increasing, meaning that the security of these systems has become more critical than ever before. For any system where there is communication between components or with the outside world, there is an increase in possible software cybersecurity threats.

Once a customer is ready to purchase, the final frontier lies ahead: the payment process. Because online transactions already come fraught with a learning curve, companies must use extensive payment gateway testing to deliver frictionless payment experiences. Even minor glitches can cause cart abandonment and reduce sales volume. Where other aspects of software may enjoy the leeway to go live while minor problems are ironed out, payment gateways cannot afford anything less than perfect reliability.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is coming, whether we like it or not. It is likely to transform every aspect of what it means to be human and represents an existential opportunity – or potential threat – to everyone living and yet to be born. Hyperbole aside, ChatGPT software intelligence has been a hot news topic of late. While it has some limitations, to many of us it’s the first real glimpse of AI’s capabilities.

Software development has changed a lot in the last 10 years. Practically every company is a software company today. And it’s predicted that the next 10 years will have 10-times the change. But let’s take it one year at a time and look into the future of software development 2023.

Often it can be difficult for smaller studios to focus on administrative tasks when key team members wear multiple hats and are constantly being pulled in different directions. That is why we developed Helix Remote Administration, which lets teams focus on their work while our experts set up, maintain, and optimize their Helix Core server.

This article is the last in a series of overviews of our new UI. You can find the others here: This time we will dive into the changes we’ve made in the analysis.

Enterprises have long relied on monolithic applications to run their operations and provide different functions and services to their customers. Monolithic software is designed to be self-contained; components of the program are interconnected and interdependent. If any program component requires an update, the whole application must be redeployed. As enterprises continue to grow their customer base, they will need to upgrade and scale their monolithic architecture.

Robot Automation Framework is a popular open source test automation tool employed by software teams. Katalon’s Robot Framework Integration enables software teams using Robot Framework for test automation to tap into Katalon’s powerful AI enabled Visual Testing capabilities to level up their software quality and release readiness protocols.

In this blog post we are going to look at some of the uncommon performance tests. By this we mean those scenarios that are not what we believe are commonly executed but those that are run periodically at best. These uncommon scenarios should not necessarily take priority over the more common performance scenarios. They do add value by stressing parts of your application under test that may be missed by the more conventional tests.
