Robotic Process Automation

Inspired by strong interest in our webinar demonstrating the use of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to speed up software testing, we're developing additional content that takes a deep dive into specific RPA use cases.


Last week, we went back to the basics and published an article introducing RPA for those who haven't taken the plunge into RPA yet. It's the latest piece in our series of modernization articles focusing on CM evolveIT. Be sure to stay tuned for more on RPA in the coming weeks.


Also, be on the lookout for more articles on COBOL to Java conversion, a topic we introduced back in June and highlighted in our last newsletter.


As for this month, see below for our recent article on the 'Replace' modernization strategy, plus links to articles covering microservices deployment models, how to value cloud services, debugging in production, and bug tracking software.

Heads Up

Modernization Strategies: Replace


In some situations (very select, we might say), your best path to modernization will be a system 'replace'. While your new system can be brand new and fully modernized, the method does rely on a rigorous and complete business rules analysis on the front end of the project to ensure business requirements are met in full.


If a replace strategy is the right one for your organization, there are some important considerations to work through first. Learn more in our just-published article on the subject.

Watch: Applying RPA to Software Testing


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 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.

Microservices Deployment Models

Uncover the advantages and disadvantages of various deployment strategies, including considerations for scalability, cost, complexity, and security in this article at Cloud Native Journey.
