A Smartsheet report found that over 40% of workers spend at least a quarter of their workweek manually extracting data. Tax specialists in many organizations spend hours or even days sorting through piles of paper or PDF documents, looking for relevant information, and entering it into spreadsheets or databases. That’s a lot of time and money wasted on a tedious and error-prone process. Fortunately, there is a better way to handle tax form data extraction.

As your company grows, so do the challenges of managing user access and data security. For many of us, it’s a common situation – the account that started with a few key players now has multiple users with different access levels. New team members join, roles evolve, team members move on to new opportunities, and sometimes external players (like contractors or clients) need temporary access to your account.

Authentication and authorization play crucial roles in modern application development. Over the years, the way we implement these security measures has evolved, with protocols like OAuth2/OpenID Connect now being widely used. While web applications can manually implement these protocols, it requires a certain level of expertise. Moreover, when it comes to single-page applications (SPAs), additional measures are necessary to securely manage security tokens on the application side.

Measuring the success of quality assurance (QA) and software testing can be a complex task that requires going beyond surface metrics. It’s a nuanced process that needs an in-depth understanding of how every decision and action your team takes translates into tangible benefits for the product, the team, and, ultimately, the end-users. However, with so many data points available, identifying which metrics truly matter can feel like finding a needle in a haystack.

These companies have redefined their industries and empowered customers to work in different, better ways. At the core of these companies, however, has been a constant mission. A purpose. A north star that guides us over multiple decades.

Ready to write functional test cases that testers can action on and that, combined, thoroughly cover the product? Let’s first define functional software testing. Broadly, functional software testing is defined as a type of black-box testing method that focuses on the functionality of a software product. Functional testing is designed to ensure a web or mobile software application meets its requirements and specifications by executing test cases from the user’s perspective.
