Financial planning and analysis (FP&A) is recognized as an essential tool for driving business success. At a time when agility has taken center stage, though, FP&A is giving way to the new discipline of extended planning and analysis (xP&A). Why? Because in an increasingly digital landscape where agility is paramount, actionable real-time feedback is essential.

If you work in Quality Assurance testing, you know that automated browser testing saves every tester from hours upon hours of manual test work. But exactly what is automation testing, and how does it fit into a typical QA workflow? We’ve got the full explanation for you in this straightforward guide on the basics of automation testing, how it can transform your QA process, and how to get started with test automation tools like Ghost Inspector.

What are the differences between generative AI vs. large language models? How are these two buzzworthy technologies related? In this article, we’ll explore their connection. To help explain the concept, I asked ChatGPT to give me some analogies comparing generative AI to large language models (LLMs), and as the stand-in for generative AI, ChatGPT tried to take all the personality for itself.

Modernizing legacy systems is often a daunting task, often filled with risks and uncertainties. The Strangler Pattern offers a proven, incremental approach to replace these outdated systems by gradually building new features around them, eventually phasing out the old system. The Strangler Pattern is a software modernization strategy that incrementally replaces parts of a legacy system with new functionality, allowing both systems to coexist until the legacy system is fully phased out.

Pipelines for continuous integration and continuous deployment, or CI/CD, are critical for contemporary software teams that aim for speed and agility. These pipelines, which automate the integration, testing, and deployment of code changes, enable teams to release new features and improvements quickly. There are obstacles involved in creating an effective CI/CD pipeline, though. This article explores common obstacles teams face in CI/CD implementation.
