  • Tricentis Introduces Next Generation AI-Powered Test Automation

    Ushers in Next Era of Software Testing with Artificial Intelligence

     Mountain View, Calif. — Oct. 20, 2020 — Tricentis, the world’s #1 testing platform for modern cloud and enterprise applications, today announced Vision AI, the core technology that will now power Tosca. Vision AI is the industry’s most advanced AI-based test design and automation technology which allows organizations to address the needs brought about by the increasing prevalence of cloud-native and enterprise application platforms.  This new AI-based approach marks the beginning of a new era of test automation.

     Test automation technology has evolved from script-based, to model-based, and is now moving towards AI-based approaches. This new approach will enable agile and DevOps teams to build automated test cases much earlier in the development process – starting with only a mockup or a low-fidelity prototype. Using self-healing capabilities to adapt tests as applications change from sprint to sprint removes bottlenecks and delivers software innovation faster. For the first time, test-driven development can now be achieved end-to-end at the business process level.

     Tricentis’ AI-driven approach allows organizations to solve the following test automation challenges:

    • Heavy application customization.  Current test automation solutions don’t support both legacy and modern cloud-native technologies which require heavy customization and refactoring, resulting in increased costs spent on acquiring complex tools.
    • Support for virtual and remote applications. Whether due to regulation or other concerns, many teams are forced to rely on virtual or remote applications (i.e. Citrix, VMware, etc.). However, traditional test automation solutions do not work for remote or virtual applications, resulting in a reliance on manual testing.
    • Testing and test automation occur too late in the process. Traditionally, applications have had to be built before any test automation can be created. As a result, test teams are always a step behind developers and risk becoming a bottleneck to application delivery.

    “Tricentis has been at the forefront of the testing evolution and is now ushering in the next era of test automation powered by artificial intelligence,” said Sandeep Johri, CEO of Tricentis. “The introduction of Tricentis’ next generation AI technology will allow organizations to deliver innovation faster and at lower costs, while also rapidly modernizing and transforming their application landscape to bring more value to the business.”

     With the launch of Tosca 14, Tricentis delivers on a comprehensive strategy to embed AI capabilities across the portfolio in order to take the pain out of test design, execution, and maintenance for testers. Tosca also improves the business value of enterprise and cloud-native applications by taking the risk, time and expense out of the delivery process. This product strategy focuses primarily on three technology areas:

    • Vision AI, included with Tosca 14 – Automatically recognizes and identifies visual user interface elements and controls across any form factor the same way humans do to aid in the automated generation of robust test cases. Can also be trained on any unique and complex controls by a business user.
    • Risk AI, delivered by LiveCompare – Detects the most at-risk objects and select the right set of tests to minimize the business and technical impact of code changes.
    • Self-healing AI, part of Tosca 14 – Adapts test cases and adjusts test plans as applications evolve with each iteration.

    “We have been struggling with automating our virtualized applications for a long time and are looking forward to seeing how Vision AI can automate applications across our platforms, even if they are behind a Citrix environment,” said Markus Bonner, Test Manager, Vienna Insurance Group. “We evaluated a number of vendors promising to make testing simpler however nothing came even close to Tricentis’ AI approach to solving our problems.”

    For more information about Tricentis’ AI-based approach to testing, visit https://www.tricentis.com/products/automate-continuous-testing-tosca/vision-ai/. To see Tosca with Vision AI in action, join the webinar on November 10th by signing up here.

  • Introducing RapidAPI Testing, a Modern and Intuitive Testing Solution for Creating and Managing Comprehensive API tests from Dev to Deployment

    RapidAPI expands its leading API Platform to offer developers and enterprises  functional API testing, global monitoring, and seamless  integration with existing CI/CD tooling

     

    SAN FRANCISCO- October 14, 2020 – RapidAPI, a next-generation API platform that enables developers and enterprises to find, connect to and manage thousands of APIs, announced today that it had launched RapidAPI Testing, a modern and intuitive testing solution for easily creating and managing comprehensive tests from development to deployment.  RapidAPI Testing supports any API type including REST, SOAP, and GraphQL, simplifies monitoring across multiple geographies, and integrates with existing tooling throughout the development lifecycle.  Additionally, RapidAPI Testing automatically syncs with the RapidAPI Marketplace and RapidAPI Enterprise Hub to ensure test coverage across all of an organization’s APIs.

    “APIs are the glue between back-end infrastructure and end-user applications, which makes APIs a great insertion point for testing,” said Iddo Gino, RapidAPI Founder and CEO. “API testing allows teams to quickly uncover usability and performance issues before their users are impacted. With RapidAPI, it is easy to create complex tests in the way that works for each user – whether using a drag-and-drop builder or a code-based editor. Because RapidAPI Testing is a powerful tool, it works in every user’s  environment, enabling them to build modern software.”

    Comprehensive testing using visual, automated, or code-based test generation

    RapidAPI testing enables you to create customizable functional test flows that provide deep validation of REST, SOAP, and GraphQL APIs. An easy-to-use interface offers users three options for test generation, enabling developers and non-developers to create API tests:

    • Drag-and-Drop Editor – Enable no-code and low-code users to easily create intricate test flows and perform deep validation of APIs with an intuitive visual interface.
    • Code-based interface –  Refine testing flows by  writing and running custom code.
    • Automatic Test Creation – Simply define your API and upload an OpenAPI spec file to infer API properties and automatically generate tests that perform deep assertions on the APIs.

    RapidAPI Testing also enables you to secure every step of the testing process with testing for any authentication and authorization method including OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect, header validation to check headers are configured correctly and do not contain sensitive information, and passing SQL, NoSQL, and other commands via queries and body parameters to prevent injection flaws.

    Global Monitoring ensures the performance of your applications, APIs, and microservices

    RapidAPI testing enables you to ensure performance for users everywhere by running tests across multiple global data centers. You can continuously run the API tests and monitor them with sophisticated reporting and analytics, including detailed execution reports and an intuitive management dashboard that enables you to pinpoint issues and accelerate resolution times.

    RapidAPI testing integrates with leading developer and  incident management tooling such as GitHub, PagerDuty, Slack, and Twilio, enabling you to constantly ensure that your API is performing properly. You can also set up SMS or email alerts to notify you if the API is down.

    Seamless Integration and Collaboration across the CI/CD Pipeline

    Organizations can improve development efficiency by seamlessly integrating API testing with existing tooling and utilizing built-in collaboration capabilities across the software development pipeline. Using a dedicated webhook, you can run API tests using popular CI/CD tooling including Jenkins, CircleCI, GitHub, Travis CI, and GitLab. Additionally, built-in collaboration capabilities allow you to organize developers into teams, assign API and test permissions at the team and role level, and work with team members to run tests and inspect results.

    RapidAPI Testing also automatically imports APIs published to the RapidAPI Marketplace into the RapidAPI testing dashboard to ensure quick testing coverage and eliminate the need to manually add APIs to the testing environment. Because RapidAPI testing is enterprise-ready, you can pull and push tests from the cloud UI to a local agent for behind firewall execution of testing flows.

    User Testimonial

     “RapidAPI Testing was very intuitive and enabled us to manage all of our existing testing requirements and shed a light on some areas where we needed to pay closer attention. Directly connecting to existing RapidAPI endpoints was seamless and facilitated a faster time between our development and production-ready products.”

    • Andrew Fraine, Director of Product Development and Data Science at Automata LLC

    “As an API provider, we always aim to provide a service that has high availability and low latency for any user in the world.  Being able to simultaneously run tests from different locations of our choice has greatly helped us to improve our API for users and been a major asset for our team.”

    -Jérémy Gaudin, CTO, API-SPORTS

    “Although RapidAPI Testing was incredibly easy to set up and use, it was powerful enough to manage all of my API testing needs. RapidAPI Testing  has all of the features that you would expect and more and was flexible enough for me to use in many different use cases.”

    –  Marco Arrigo – ElenaSport Founder

    “As a non-developer, I was impressed by how quickly and easily I was able to create my first tests and get everything up and running. I love that you can set up text/email notifications when a test fails as providing reliable, constant access to the API is our #1 concern  and instant notifications help ensure our API is always available.”

    -Crystal Schlegelmilch,  Co-Founder, Spoonacular

     

    Pricing and Availability

    RapidAPI Testing is available in a variety of pricing plans. RapidAPI Testing can be purchased standalone or as an add-on to RapidAPI Enterprise Hub.

  • Kosmotime Reinvents The To-Do List By Combining Task And Calendar Management With Distraction Blocking

    KosmoTime helps busy, multitasking professionals to reach their full productivity potential

    NEW YORK, October 20, 2020, KosmoTime today launched its new task management tool that reinvents the to-do list by automatically establishing work time on the calendar and blocking distracting notifications. When busy professionals create a to-do list in KosmoTime, it does more than capture a list of tasks – it acts as an active assistant to proactively eliminate distractions to create the time and focus needed to accomplish meaningful work.

    Try KosmoTime for free: https://www.kosmotime.com/

    “Having tried a variety of to-do list, calendar and task management apps, I saw the opportunity to combine the most useful elements of each into a single application,” said Nicolas Vandenberghe, co-founder and CEO for KosmoTime. “Traditional to-do lists are great at capturing what needs to get done, but they don’t help professionals with completing them. Kosmo helps users accomplish more through dedicated time that is distraction-free.”

    KosmoTime is the first task management tool that combines the following features:

    1. Task Management: The to-do list active assistant “Kosmo” helps users prioritize and group tasks into focused sprints. Its intelligent batching and job creation capabilities, based on behavior science, helps group related tasks to minimize context switching (https://www.kosmotime.com/context-switching/). KosmoTime also lets users bookmark any URL and turn it into a task in one click. All assignments are organized, tracked and stored.
    1. Calendar Management: With KosmoTime tasks don’t sit idle waiting to be completed or forgotten. It analyzes tasks by type and helps you block time on the calendar for work completion. Users can drag and drop tasks from the to-do list directly into their calendar and add tasks directly from sprints. With Kosmo, users take back control of their time – with help.
    1. Distraction Blocking: Today’s busy professionals are bombarded with browser notifications, emails, slack pings, or merely the temptation to check Facebook. KosmoTime knows when to close down tabs and turn off notifications based on task scheduling. The result is more focused time that was automatically established by Kosmo without any effort.

    Customer testimonials of KosmoTime:

    • “Finally someone aced the todo list.” – Porush Puri, business analyst at Hashcove and co-creator of DeviationApps.
    • “So many aspects of my book, Indistractable, in this product. Congrats Daniel Threlfall and team.” – Nir Eyal, author of Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life
    • “I love being able to group tasks into sprints, and also the fact that any tasks I add are actually added to my calendar! It means I can see what tasks are coming next on all my devices with calendars and I haven’t found another service that does that.” – Aaron Kim, marketing coordinator at Maxii Luxii

    About KosmoTime

    KosmoTime is reinventing the to-do list to help busy, multi-tasking professionals achieve more.

TigerGraph is the industry’s first vendor to report LDBC benchmark results at this scale. TigerGraph is able to run deep-link OLAP queries on a graph of almost nine billion vertices (entities) and more than 60 billion edges (relationships), returning results in under a minute.

    “This benchmark and these results are significant, both for TigerGraph and the overall market. While TigerGraph has multiple customers in production with 10X data size and number of entities/relationships, this is the first public benchmark report where anyone can download the data, queries, and perform the benchmark. No other graph database vendor or relational database vendor has demonstrated equivalent analytical capabilities or performance numbers,” said Dr. Yu Xu, CEO and founder, TigerGraph. “If there was lingering uncertainty about graph’s ability to scale to accommodate large data volumes in record time, these results should eliminate those doubts. Graph is the engine that enables us to answer high-value business questions with complex real data, in real time, at scale. TigerGraph’s ongoing work in advanced graph analytics has been validated by market recognition, innovative customer applications and continued product evolution – and these benchmark results confirm the company’s position as a clear market leader, succeeding where other vendors have failed.”

    Historically, enterprises in multiple industries – from financial services to healthcare – have struggled with numerous graph-related challenges as they work to unlock real value from connected data. These challenges include an inability to support large data volumes, slow query performance, and lack of flexibility with existing BI tools. TigerGraph has addressed these pain points with the world’s fastest and most scalable graph platform, providing massive scalability of data volumes, fast deep-link analysis for real-time performance and an offering that is delivered as a service and on-prem. TigerGraph’s proven technology connects data silos for deeper, wider and operational analytics at scale.

    For this latest benchmark, TigerGraph’s performance was measured using the LDBC SNB

    Benchmark scale-factor 10K dataset (4.8TB raw data, 8.86B vertices, 61.77B edges,) on a distributed cluster. The implementation uses GSQL, a query language developed by TigerGraph. The queries were compiled and loaded into the database as stored procedures.

    We tested TigerGraph’s performance with three types of queries: IS Workload (all queries answered in one to three seconds), IC Workload (all queries answered in three to nine seconds) and BI Workload (the majority of OLAP-style iterative and/or deep-link graph queries were answered in under one minute). Each query was performed three times, and the median of the elapsed times presented as the final latency time. Each query was performed on clusters of 24 machines, 18 machines and 12 machines, respectively.

    The LDBC SNB benchmark is an industry-respected test for confirming a graph platform’s performance while executing complex business intelligence and advanced analytics tasks.
