The Problem This Solution Solves
Application and system owners must perform either partial or full regression testing of their systems before applying the patches to production systems. This testing effort can span days to weeks depending on the complexity of the system or application and cause testing resources to have to redirect from ongoing efforts. “Bricked” end points, malfunctioning applications, and testing delays halt operations with ramifications across all military commands and defense agencies. This directly impacts the operation of the DoD’s highest value assets. As part of a broader rapid patching effort, DoD must reduce timelines to address vulnerabilities in each of its systems across a variety of defense end points, including workstations and servers, mobile devices, peripherals, infrastructure, IoT, and platform IT systems. The purpose of the testing is to ensure the stability and functionality of those systems and applications has not been affected in a negative manner by the patch itself.
The Solution
UiPath’s test suite platform allows for the automated testing of security patches on systems and applications to ensure the patches are stable, pass user acceptance, load, and regression tests. The UiPath platform allows for multiple tests to be scheduled and run simultaneously or consecutively, taking only seconds to run. The test suite platform allows you to plan, monitor, and centralize testing and rapidly triage defects with full requirements traceability and visual logging ensuring the quality of every application and always in sync with application source code when they go live. The platform allows you to organize, schedule, and analyze test execution through Orchestrator, the automation control center. Its Veracode certified and integrates into your DevOps & ALM toolchain to boost release velocity increasing security and compliance.
