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.

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.

By "autonomous," we mean software testing that is completely driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), without any human intervention.

Learn about what's new in WebdriverIO v8. The primary goal for the new version of WebdriverIO was to transition from CommonJS to ESM in order to continue with important dependency updates and avoid security issues. Furthermore, we cleaned up some code, implemented a new Action API interface and streamlined the way WebdriverIO deals with global objects using the test runner.

To aid in the development of Unreal Engine 4 and Unreal Engine 5, Epic developed UnrealGameSync (UGS) to interact with Perforce Helix Core. While UnrealGameSync has many features in addition to p4v, the primary use is to distribute internal engine and project builds. Here we explain what is UnrealGameSync, its benefits, and how to install and set it up.
