An automated testing strategy answers the who, what, when, why, and how of software test automation. While automation can be used for many kinds of software testing, in this post, we’re going to focus on the steps you should take when developing a strategy for functional UI testing (also known as end-to-end testing). End-to-end testing simulates real user conditions to test the functionality of an application from the front-end user interface.

Appian surveyed 500 senior banking and asset management executives from around the world about the drivers, challenges, and opportunities on the path to automation maturity. We classified survey respondents as either automation leaders, laggards, or part of the mainstream.

The Xray-Functionize integration provides you with easy creation of automated tests, more visibility into testing results, and the capacity to increase team collaboration.

Last month, we unveiled Appian 21.3 with new product enhancements that help customers develop apps and automations even faster. And now, we’re excited to announce updates to Appian RPA that simplify the already-easy Appian low-code experience even more—including the reveal of the new Appian RPA task recorder that allows you to record browser automations right from your workflow designer.

With the explosion of the machine learning tooling space, the barrier to entry has never been lower for companies looking to invest in AI initiatives. But enterprise AI in production is still immature. How are companies getting to production and scaling up with machine learning in 2021? Implementing data science at scale used to be an endeavor reserved for the tech giants with their armies of developers and deep pockets.

Appian has been a recognized leader in cloud-based enterprise software platforms since delivering Appian Cloud in 2007. From the outset, we built our software to integrate with and complement the cloud’s unique advantages, and to protect it from vulnerabilities. We did so with a unique design philosophy, employing cloud-native and globally recognized frameworks like NIST for optimal security protection, business continuity, and enhanced support.
