When one deal closes, another one opens...
Salesforce has now completed its acquisition of Informatica, in a deal positioned as a way to strengthen Salesforce’s AI data foundation. If you are an Informatica customer, that headline is not the end of the story. It is the start of a long, complicated chapter. Informatica is no longer an independent data company.

How To Build An Automation Framework For Api First Testing
As modern applications grow more complex and API-driven, maintaining test stability becomes increasingly challenging. Many QA teams struggle to manage scattered test scripts and inconsistent environments, leading to inefficiency and missed defects. The real solution lies in adopting a structured automation framework that brings order, scalability, and speed to the testing process. In an API-first setup, it helps teams validate functionality continuously and collaboratively.
What is QA Automation Testing: The ULTIMATE Guide
Quality Assurance (QA) teams must run extensive tests to ensure that a website or application performs as intended before release. However, rather than manually running these tests, which can hinder productivity, modern teams are using QA automation. By automating QA testing workflows, teams can rapidly execute these tests using standardized processes, frameworks, and software. Developers can quickly fix any errors and deliver high-quality code so that product teams can speed up release times.
10 Smart Ways PIs Use Open Source Intelligence to Track Individuals
Are you one of those people who believe that their internet presence fades when they press the delete button? That's cute. In the modern digital era, all posts, likes and comments leave a trail of evidence and a private detective knows how to trace it. With the assistance of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), professional PIs sift through publicly available data, social media, and Internet habits to reveal the truths most individuals believe to be concealed. Starting with the tracking of unknown profiles to the connection of dots, OSINT has become the arsenal of a modern detective.
