In the agile development methodology, the velocity of testing holds the key to delivering the best quality software within the stipulated budget and time constraints. As such, this drives the need to automate the testing process. Most software development teams visualize test automation as a discreet step in the delivery lifecycle instead of viewing it as a designed sequence of steps.
Autonomous testing is an emerging testing practice in which tests are completely created, driven, and managed by AI/ML, eliminating the need for human intervention. Essentially, autonomous testing is a higher level of automation for automation testing. This is a recent shift in the testing industry as AI technologies evolve to be more advanced, opening a promising era of human-machine integration testing.
Quality confidence in the functionality of an application alone is no longer sufficient to deliver a top-notch digital experience. Customers today constantly want more, and they want it fast. Test automation is adopted to keep up with users' tendency to be less tolerant of defects and expect quick updates and fixes at the same time. Currently, in the automated testing tool market, open source frameworks and solutions are commonly opted for due to their flexibility and free cost of entry.
Katalon was recently recognized in the "2022 Gartner® Market Guide for AI-Augmented Software Testing Tools." Gartner delivers actionable, objective insight to executives and their teams. Its expert guidance and tools enable faster, smarter decisions and stronger performance on an organization’s mission-critical priorities. The Katalon Platform offers capabilities for planning, authoring, organization, and execution of automated tests as well as AI-driven visual testing.
The customer is a large India-based financial services and banking company with over 700 branches across India. It is one of the first banks in India to achieve full networking of its branches through its Core Banking System. The Bank was also one of the pioneers in deploying ATMs, Check Deposit Kiosks, Internet Banking, Mobile Banking, and other digital technologies that provide its customers with automated banking services.
Xray is one of the most popular Jira apps for testing and QA. It enables test management natively within Jira so that software teams can seamlessly integrate quality management into their everyday workflows. You can easily link requirements to Xray test cases within Jira to keep tabs on all tests, know where tests went right/wrong, and bring focus to quality at scale. Together Katalon and Xray streamline test automation and test management efforts for agile teams and their CI/CD pipelines.
Building software is a complex and challenging task that involves many people in the organization. Creating software that people love is even more challenging. Poorly built and improperly tested software creates a negative digital experience for the end user, which is why in today’s world, the success of businesses and products is directly impacted by the quality of that experience.
Today, we're launching the Katalon platform. Read on to see how we've built up to this, what's in the platform, and what's on the horizon.
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.
