Welcome to the June 2024 edition of the Katalon product roundup! We’re excited to bring you the latest updates and features designed to enhance your testing experience and streamline your processes. In this release, we have some game-changing features across Katalon Studio, Katalon Recorder, and TestCloud. Let’s dive into the details!

Ably LiveSync is a product we launched last month to help developers deliver live updates in their applications by automatically keeping their database and frontend clients in sync. LiveSync is made of two components, the Models SDK that runs on the client, and the database connector that listens to changes in your database and syncs those changes to your clients.

In the ever-evolving world of software development, a well-defined test plan is the cornerstone of a successful Quality Assurance (QA) process. For QA professionals, testers, testers, and developers alike, a robust plan ensures comprehensive testing, minimizes risks, and ultimately delivers high-quality software. Traditionally, spreadsheets like Excel have been the go-to tool for crafting test plans. However, as projects grow in complexity, the limitations of spreadsheets become increasingly apparent.

White box testing is a testing method where testers evaluate the quality of a system with full knowledge of its internal structures. Here, the testers have access to the system's source code and understand how it operates internally. They know not only what the software does but also how it achieves those results. In this article, we’ll learn more about white box testing in-depth, the common techniques used, and white box testing best practices.

Organizations must migrate to SAP S/4HANA by December 2027. Using technologies beyond their End of Life (EOL) can lead to operational disruptions, increased maintenance costs, costly support services, security vulnerabilities, and compliance failures, ultimately resulting in higher expenses and diminished customer experiences. This short timeframe requires immediate planning.

We are thrilled to kickstart this first launch week with autoscaling - now generally available! Our goal is to offer a global and serverless experience for your deployments. Autoscaling makes this vision a reality. Say goodbye to overpaying for unused resources and late-night alerts for unhealthy instances or underprovisioned resources! During the autoscaling public preview, we received key feedback around scaling factors.

Snowflake’s mission is to mobilize the entire world’s data, and there are millions of data scientists and developers who don’t have access to full-stack engineering teams. It’s been our endeavor to bring the power of the AI Data Cloud to every individual developer, data scientist and machine learning engineer, so that they can build and share world-class data apps — all by themselves. Streamlit is an open source library that turns Python scripts into shareable web apps.

Testing early and often may sound like a simple idea, but implemented effectively requires a cultural shift and the right set of practical tools.

Django is designed to be secure by default, which means that its got a number of featured out of the box to protect against common Web vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Its extensive documentation, active community, and strong ecosystem of reusable apps and libraries make it a common choice for developers looking to create scalable and maintainable Web applications.

In a world where microservices have become very popular, the connectivity aspects between systems take center stage when it comes to prioritizing quality engineering. Postman's State of API report highlights that technical and non-technical stakeholders recognize the growing importance of APIs and their testing as part of the enterprise strategy.
