After a busy industry event, the sales team rushed to enter dozens of new leads into the system using their usual mix of business cards, handwritten notes, and copied email signatures. Everything looked normal – until follow-ups started failing. Emails bounced, job titles were incorrect, and calls were directed to the wrong contacts. No one realised that a few handwritten details were misread, some names were entered incorrectly, and several emails contained silent typos within the CRM.

Regression testing is one of the most critical parts of the release cycle. It confirms that the new code works, and that old features still behave the way users expect. But here’s the catch: regression testing always comes in late. And without structure, it gets messy fast with unclear scope and scattered test cases. That means high chances of missing critical flows. The Regression Testing Starter Kit is built to solve that.

As 2025 comes to a close, now is the perfect time to reflect on the past year and look ahead to what’s next for SAP. There’s no denying that the past year has been rocked by market uncertainty, new tariffs impacting shipments to the United States, and rapid changes to finance technology. Not only has this forced SAP finance and operations teams to quickly change course, but it also muddied the view of the future. How can SAP finance teams prepare for the year ahead?

Have you observed how many software projects often begin with enthusiasm but however time become stuck in endless planning, changing requirements, and delayed delivery?

In the agile development methodology, the velocity of testing holds the key to delivering the best quality software within the stipulated budget and time constraints. As such, this drives the need to automate the testing process with test orchestration. Most software development teams visualize test automation as a discreet step in the delivery lifecycle instead of viewing it as a designed sequence of steps.

Modern development strategies rely on continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) to ship high quality software and updates. A well-designed CI/CD pipeline automates key parts of the software development lifecycle so teams can build, test, and deploy changes faster with fewer errors. To achieve this, development teams need the right CI/CD tools. Before you select your CI/CD solutions, you need to understand CI/CD pipelines and how they work.

For a long time, we spoke about “AI agents” like they were a future concept, something that might eventually book flights, run workflows, or make payments on our behalf.

Developers and Quality Assurance (QA) teams utilize many different API testing and validation tools to help them simplify the processes of testing, debugging, and validating APIs in the increasingly API-centric world of software development. Modern teams often combine End-to-End Testing with API-level testing to ensure full workflow reliability.

We’re entering a phase where AI can draft emails, resolve tickets, summarise complex information, and occasionally present fiction as fact with equal conviction. Generative AI has become incredibly powerful, but in enterprise environments, power without precision quickly becomes a risk rather than an advantage. This is exactly where the shift is happening.

If you find that your team is struggling to get releases out the door, it could be inefficient testing practices. Oftentimes, software teams don’t know what their tests actually cover, or which tests are relevant after each code change — so they run everything. This means spending hours executing full test suites for minor updates or burning through CI/CD resources while bugs slip through untested paths. On top of this, software is always becoming more complex.
