1. Docker Compose

We've been doing a lot of work with Architect lately, on a variety of fronts. One of these has been a new offering we're calling product showcase campaigns, and a nice example of this is a post about docker compose from our very own Eric Goebelbecker.

2. Agile Release Trains

3. API Monitoring

We've been doing a lot of work lately on the analytics front for clients, and this has brought us into the world of what Request Metrics is doing. Recently, they've rolled out an offering around API observability and monitoring, which is a really cool thing to offer.

4. VERA

5. Create Checklists in Slack

6. ServiceNow Testing

If you're using a tool like ServiceNow for automation, testing can be a rather cumbersome concern. It's worth checking out Tricentis's ServiceNow test automation capability, if that applies to you.

7. Salesforce Test Automation
