On June 21, 2022, #teamInflectra attended the Swiss Testing Day conference in Zürich, Switzerland, in collaboration with Itecor, our Gold Solution Partner. Since 2005, Swiss Testing Day has brought together software testers of all shapes and sizes as well as QA professionals, developers, project managers, and anyone who advocates for a smoother software development cycle.
Unlike past Swiss Testing Days, Inflectra did not go solo in 2022. And the result was better than expected. Read all about it below!

A few weeks ago, Inflectra’s CEO - Adam Sandman, was invited for an Interview with Nathan Latka - a serial entrepreneur and the CEO of FounderPath. Unlike what you’d expect from an interview with a tech company founder - i.e., a pre-cleared set of interview questions - the two launched into an honest discussion in less than 30 seconds after meeting each other for the first time. The result is a candid view of Inflectra, its business model, company culture, profits, business practices, and its founder - Adam Sandman - aka - “The Real Unicorn.”
Find out how & why Adam got this nickname in a short (admittedly, very fast-paced) conversation below!

It's amazing, after the difficult years of 2020 and 2021, we are so glad that in-person events and conferences are back. It has been fantastic to see customers and partners face to face at various events this year such as STAR East, Agile DevOps West, JFTL, EuroSTAR and Swiss Testing Day. While we enjoyed attending these events, of course, the conference dearest to our hearts is InflectraCon. Thanks to everyone who attended InflectraCon 2022, in this article we'd like to give a big "shout out" to our partners who attended the Partner Dinner and Partner Summit.

In December of 2020, the Google Chrome browser team made a major announcement - the release of Google Chrome Manifest 3. This new version of Chrome is designed to radically improve the security and safety of web browsing. Specifically:
With the introduction of Manifest V3, we will disallow remotely hosted code. This mechanism is used as an attack vector by bad actors to circumvent Google’s malware detection tools and poses a significant risk to user privacy and security.
However this new manifest version has an unfortunate side effect for the software testing industry, it will prevent the Chrome extensions used by many popular test automation tools such as Rapise, Ranorex, TestComplete, UFT and others from working. Luckily in the case, of Rapise, we have new web browser recording solution ready for you to use in Rapise 7.3. This will be released six months before Google formally switches over to Manifest V3.

After two years of missing the legendary EuroSTAR software testing conference (we did take part in the virtual events, but it's not the same), #TeamInflectra was privileged to be able to travel to Copenhagen, Denmark for the 30th Anniversary EuroSTAR event. At EuroSTAR, we were able to join over 1,000 software testers for 4 incredible days of learning, testing and community connections.

Here's the recap of our time at the conference.

We are very excited about the upcoming release of Spira 7.0 in July 2022.

However in addition to this new infrastructure, we have also updated our existing data synchronization platform to improve the ease of use and simplify the setup process for administrators and users.
