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.

Retrieving data from a source, ensuring it suits business requirements, and moving that data into a target data source is critical to any data strategy. Low-code tools can help create robust and flexible ETL processes that automate your data loading.

System integration is the process of combining different systems and software so that they can work together. It is also the process by which a system or application can interact with other systems, applications, or devices. Because each integration is unique, it is crucial to ensure that the tool you use to facilitate that integration is flexible enough to cover many cases.

A typical IT task is moving data around and making it available for consumption. Many different approaches can be used to facilitate the movement of data. This post will take a deeper look into different data transfer options and how you can automate them.

The definition of a web service can differ between organisations. As a general concept, a web service is an application that provides services over a web protocol, such as HTTP. For the purpose of this article, we will refer to web services as APIs.

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.

With today’s accelerated pace of delivery, you need to manage dev speed while keeping high-quality ships. This requires a focus on both quality assurance and development into quality engineering. These two goals can often be at odds without a robust system for process and testing.

The financial services industry is vast, complex, and almost infinite in its diversity. So, too, are the regulatory agencies overseeing this industry. For example, the US market's regulatory framework is incredibly complex: More than 50 state or local and more than a dozen federal agencies coexist to keep the financial services marketplace healthy, competitive, and safe for consumers. The missions of the agencies overseeing the financial services industry vary as widely as the sector itself.

There’s no successful dev cycle without ensuring functionality, and QA has been integral to functional testing since the dawn of software. Traditionally, functional testing meant human testers running smoke and regression tests, but wielding automated functional testing can help teams keep up with the competition and bring QA into a modern CI/CD pipeline.
