Unveiling AutomatePro 8.1: Streamlining Automation with Powerful New Tools

1. Click and Create: Simplifying Test Management

With the new Click and Create desktop application, managing your tests has never been easier. This tool empowers users to create, manage, and execute tests directly on their local machines, significantly reducing the time required for automation tasks. By embedding our Visual Test Plan Editor within the application, users can seamlessly synchronize with their ServiceNow instance. 

What makes this exciting for our customers is how this tool completely reinvents and simplifies automation creation and debugging. The local test engine allows real-time test execution and debugging, providing immediate feedback and enabling rapid iterations. Additionally, the context-aware automation tool simplifies the process of creating test steps, allowing users to interact directly with ServiceNow pages. This not only accelerates test development and maintenance but also lowers the learning curve for new users, making it easier to adopt and leverage automation effectively.

2. AI Documentation Generation: Reducing Documentation Overhead

Documentation is essential, but it is often tedious. Our new AI Documentation Generation feature leverages the power of OpenAI to automatically summarize your Test Plans, ensuring your test plan descriptions is always up-to-date with minimal effort. This is particularly cool for customers because it removes the manual burden of keeping detailed records, allowing them to focus more on strategic tasks rather than routine technical writing. By leveraging Generative AI, it ensures that critical documentation remains accurate and accessible, which is key for maintaining compliance and facilitating smoother handovers within teams. 

3. AutoDeploy: Streamlining ServiceNow Deployments

Also happy to introduce, AutoDeploy, a robust ServiceNow application that simplifies the deployment process by managing the building and installing applications and dependencies across ServiceNow environments. This tool ensures a highly repeatable and reliable deployment process, reducing the risk of errors and shortening the time required to deploy or create new instances. 

For customers, AutoDeploy is a game-changer because it minimizes the complexity and potential for mistakes in deploying updates across their ServiceNow environments. The ability to deploy various components, such as Update Sets, XML Data Imports, ServiceNow Plugins, as well as running scripts  in a controlled and consistent manner, means that teams can deploy updates with confidence. Furthermore, the integration of script execution within the deployment process allows for even greater automation and control, helping customers achieve faster, more efficient rollouts with less manual intervention. 

With these new features, AutomatePro 8.1 is set to elevate your automation capabilities, providing tools that are not only powerful but also user-friendly. This release is all about making your automation processes more efficient, reducing the time and effort required, and ensuring that even complex tasks are handled with ease.
