The key takeaways are that CapIO is an automated testing platform that provides a centralized solution for developing and managing tests across various enterprise applications like ServiceNow. It addresses issues like inconsistent processes, high maintenance costs, and lack of future proofing that organizations face with other testing tools.

The document discusses that automated testing can be challenging due to inconsistent solutions and processes across different tools. This leads to disorganization and high costs when applications change. It also requires complex skill sets to maintain the various tools.

CapIO addresses these challenges by providing a centralized interface within ServiceNow to standardize testing practices. It runs tests independently of the application to avoid failures from changes. It also uses a standard API to future proof tests and reduce maintenance costs and time.

CHALLENGES OF AUTOMATED TESTING
Automated testing is no simple process. Finding the right testing tool can vary dramatically from
one solution to another. This leads to some organizations having to adopt fragmented processes
across a variety of testing tools which causes disorganization, frustration, and an overall lack
of confidence in the testing process.

Many organizations find that there are unexpected costs to maintaining their automated testing
practice. Even minor changes made to an application can mean major adjustments on the testing
tool’s back-end, requiring specialized skills as well as a substantial investment of time.

HOW CAPIO WORKS


CapIO by Cerna Solutions provides a suite of tools with an interface built on ServiceNow® to
standardize automated testing practices across the organization. Tests are performed separately
using the CapIO Server to ensure that they are run independently of the application being tested.
This makes it easier to write, manage, and execute automated tests, as well as allows the user to
integrate other testing tools to automate functional, performance, unit, and mobile testing.

CapIO uses a standard API which is maintained by Cerna Solutions to protect scripts from future
failures caused by changes to the ServiceNow application. This drastically reduces the amount of
time and money required to develop and maintain back-end code, as well as offers confidence in
new updates and releases of your applications.
