Katalon website recently had a refreshed look — as you can tell from the website. Our team has revamped our website content structure, as well as the logos of Katalon products.

When Apple introduced SwiftUI back in July we immediately knew it was going to generate a lot of expectations. As app developers ourselves, we are very aware about the complexity of User Interface development in iOS. UI has been keeping apps especially expensive and error prone along the years. Many frameworks were created to improve this situation like ComponentKit, Texture or even React Native.

As a Microsoft partner, we’re excited by the announcement of the Azure Synapse Analytics platform. Why? Because it furthers the ability of businesses to leverage data-driven insights and decision making at all levels in an organization. (And we love that!) Together, our joint customers are already leveraging data in amazing ways to tackle everything from creating customer 360 views to reducing project times for data analytics from 6 months to 6 weeks.

We’ve been thrilled to recently bring Tereza Nemassanyi to our team as our new CRO. Tereza brings more than just experience to the Keboola team from Microsoft - her unique perspective and constant devotion to speaking on innovation is the kind of thought leadership that excites us. We sat down with Tereza to get the scoop on her approach to innovation and how she thinks the innovation backlog can be the key to business growth.

We’ve incorporated desktop application (app) testing to Katalon Studio — starting from version 7.0.0. This addition to the tool’s existing capabilities (web, API, and mobile testing) will transform Katalon Studio into a complete cross-platform test automation solution.

While the impetus for transforming to a data-driven culture needs to come from the top of the organisation, all levels of the business should participate in learning new data skills. Assuring data availability and integrity must be a team sport in modern data-centric businesses, rather than being the responsibility of one individual or department. Everyone must buy in and be held accountable throughout the process.

The hype around AI is deafening, creating a noisy and confused environment. Organizations are looking for clarity on the role and application of AI in bringing more value to data, and for help avoiding the pitfalls that surround so many of these projects. These pitfalls include error-prone decision making and unintended consequences based on flawed data or “black box” algorithms, and gimmicky approaches including simple search and bolt-on AI that overpromise and under deliver.

All Tideways applications with a Pro license can now create additional production Environments in addition to the one that is available by default. Configuring a second or more environments as "production" effects the retention and the traces/minute collected for these environments. By default non-production environments have just 1 day of retention and 1 trace/minute.
