The COVID-19 global pandemic has added new urgency to the quest for digital transformation. The pandemic disrupted business processes and displaced and disconnected people. Organizations across the globe witnessed first-hand that the speed with which they could get new automations and applications in place could literally make or break the company. The world quickly learned what some industry leaders already knew: the ability to develop an application and quickly bring it to market is crucial.
For the past two years, Appian has scored high marks in both categories, landing in the upper right corner of the Magic Quadrant as a leader.
The software development life cycle doesn’t stop at development. Many low-code options today provide tools to accelerate application development.

In the software testing world, there are two types of testing techniques — manual and automated. Both aim to execute the test case and then compare the actual outcome with the expected result. Manual testing is a testing technique that requires significant human effort to ensure a software solution does everything that it is supposed to do. While great for specific test cases, excessive use of manual testing proved to be inefficient over time.
Although there’s no denying that manual testing will always stay relevant, there’s an increasing demand for automated testing. It brings on many benefits for companies and teams: time efficiency, extensive coverage. But how to best develop an automated testing strategy? In this article, we’ll show you some best practices in all 7 stages of your test automation strategy to maximize your experiences.
