🚮 Ditch legacy #testing tools. Upgrade to Tricentis! For years #OpenText (formerly Micro Focus/HP) was the go-to vendor for testing #software. 👋 The world has now left them behind. Why?

I started my career at an ERP company called PeopleSoft in 1998. Our enterprise clients would pay us millions of dollars to spend years customizing our clunky software to their needs. These same clients now leverage a number of Enterprise SaaS products to run specific functions. Yet, the game is essentially the same: take a vanilla instance and spend tons of time & money customizing it. I believe things are about to change. Thanks to the rise of LLMs, we may be at the beginning of the end for Enterprise SaaS. Large enterprises will soon begin to realize there are several reasons they should build almost everything on their own. Here a few of the most compelling reasons: 1️⃣ The LLM is the most critical piece of the puzzle, and there will be plenty of open source LLMs (e.g. Llama, Mistral, Bloom) that everyone can use. When you get the LLM for free, why would you rent software that is ignorant of your internal processes? 2️⃣ BigCos now have software chops. Most of them have spent the past decade hiring better talent and becoming less reliant on body-shopping third parties. Equally importantly, software just gets easier to write with every passing month. 3️⃣ It will become faster and better to begin with your specific context rather than a vanilla instance. The game used to be to start with someone else's vanilla instance and then customize it. BigCos will now start with their specific business process, set up a series of LLM-enabled steps, and build their software around those steps. This will lead to solutions that finally automate processes for real. 4️⃣ The promise of AI is less UI. Everyone will just need less software period as companies begin unlocking the potential of AI. 5️⃣ The data is the context. Great AI apps require tons of proprietary data. Startups will struggle to build compelling, contextual solutions without access to this data. BigCos are going to start realizing that they will fare much better if they build around their data, instead of customizing their data for the apps they want to rent. We are seeing mindsets change on a daily basis with our customers. Consultancies and Enterprise SaaS companies would be well-advised to take note. If you want to learn more, you should book a meeting with our team to talk about Kun.AI, a platform that can help you build customized, AI-powered solutions. Whether or not you use it, I promise you'll leave the Zoom call with a deeper understanding of what's happening in our industry.

A few thoughts on expeditious testing of "real time" systems.

What I hate the most about LinkedIn? The scammers posing as Recruiters. Perfect Example: This guy https://lnkd.in/gkcFVQ8Y contacts me today and claims to be working a role for amazon on Project Kuiper. Says that they have EXCLUSIVE rights to submit people on that team for any role, and that nobody else can submit for roles on this team. Claims that the role can only be filled through him. I find that odd, because when I was an L7 at Amazon in 2020, we worked with many different vendors. So I know that is a lie. So I reach out to the lead recruiter for that team using my personal network and she confirms that not only does he not have any form of exclusive right to submit, but also that his actions violate Amazons policies so it will be reported internally. Thank you, Amy. So then I get a call from "Prince" from a number listed as a Collabera caller ID branded number at 973-381-68{ last 2 digits removed so I'm not doxing}, after I thought I had already made it known I knew he did not really have the exclusivity he claimed, and on the call I point out all the issues with his claims and remind him I'm connected to the lead recruiter of that project so I can fact check him pretty easily. He then go on to lie to my face again, multiple times, claiming exclusivity, before finally admitting that he doesn't want to submit me to the role anyway because he refuses to submit candidates who can not be 100% onsite in another state (Texas). He also notes that he cant submit people with any kind of disability. I say that's discrimination and I note that my profile explicitly says that I'm not open to relocation and ask why he even contacted me? He then makes some racist comments in hindi that I wont repeat here (My typing of hindi is terrible, anyway) before he hangs up on me. Then, as I'm talking to the Amazon recruiter about this, I notice I can no longer access the scammers profile. They blocked me to try to protect themselves from being reported, not knowing that had already reported them as not a real person. The problem? The scammer is working for a company that might be legit but very poor quality. He refuses to follow the rules. The biggest issue with LinkedIn is that if somebody isn't attached to their profile because they haven't validated it as their real identity, they're going to treat it as a throwaway account like this guy is. In this case the guy made a big deal of the fact that a year ago he used a work email to validate his account, but that honestly means nothing in terms of security. It's not hard to validate an account using an e-mail that you no longer have access to; Is it still a valid verification if you no longer work there? Verifying an e-mail does not mean that you're a real person, it could be a service account or a fake email created for marketing outbound, and LinkedIn needs to remove this as a validation step or at least give it a different icon so people can treat it as it is a claim be verified.

I'm happy to finally share what I've been working on over the past few weeks: - My Salesforce Portfolio site (www.patrickbarron.me) - My current Salesforce project My current project is a General Contractor App. It helps a general contractor keep track of potential clients and households, and organize projects and subcontractors. The App will be a continual work-in-progress, but I wanted to share the current foundation to allow you to follow along as it is improved. Current status, examples, and backlog items can be found in the Portfolio. If you have any questions or ideas on how to improve the App, please let me know! Items I will be working on next include: - Reports and Dashboards for the Potential Clients - Planning out and building the custom Project object, which will include several record types and processes.

I'm grateful to share that I've penned a new article for a prestigious Tech Magazine in Missouri, USA. In my piece, I delve into the intricate world of QA automation coding, emphasizing the critical importance of mastering diverse programming languages and methodologies. I underscore the significance of developing tailor-made testing frameworks, early bug detection in the development cycle, and the integration of both manual and automated testing. 😊👨‍💻🇺🇸🇵🇭 Click the link below to learn more about it: https://lnkd.in/dF_4r6sz
