Government Modernization Disasters: Three Case Studies

With governments around the world investing heavily in IT modernization, we look at three government modernization disasters, including what went wrong and how they could have been avoided.

Webinar


"Applying RPA to Software Testing" Lunch & Learn


Robotic Process Automation’s (RPA) versatility allows it to be applied to a wide range of processes, enabling organizations to increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve accuracy by automating repetitive tasks using software “Bots”. Use cases range from data entry and report generation to HR and finance and admin automation.


In this technical session, we will give you an overview of RPA, and dive into the ability of RPA to create a modern, data-driven automated testing environment that can be plugged into your CI/CD pipeline.


This webinar is relevant to you whether you use CA Plex, CA 2E, or other software development tools.


All attendees will receive a $10 gift card towards lunch or a snack to enjoy.

While you can bet the good and bad are overhyped in some cases, Prompt Engineering appears to have a good shot at growth.


An article we found at The Next Web takes a look.
