IQ Bot is cognitive automation that learns as it processes by observing people at work. With an unwavering focus to improve, it develops your subject matter experts, increasing the speed and accuracy of your processes at scale.

The endpoint is often easy to define. But where you begin can have a profound impact on how quickly and efficiently you get there. IQ Bot sets up and enriches your starting points to make your RPA even more effective. IQ Bots keep learning – with or without supervision – to handle unstructured information that feeds your automated processes.

The Selenium-IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is the tool to develop Selenium test cases. It is implemented as a Firefox extension, and allows to record, edit, and debug tests. Selenium IDE includes the entire Selenium Core, to easily and quickly record and play back tests in the actual environment that they will run in. Selenium IDE is not only a recording tool: it is a complete IDE. You can choose to use its recording capability, or you may edit your scripts by hand. With autocomplete support and the ability to move commands around quickly, Selenium IDE is the ideal environment for creating Selenium tests no matter what style of tests you prefer.

StoryTestIQ (STIQ) is a test framework used to create Automated Acceptance Tests or Story Tests. STIQ is a mashup of Selenium and FitNesse. It is "wiki-ized" Selenium with widgets and features that make it easier to write and organize Selenium tests. STIQ is used to record Customer needs and acceptance criteria; the tests are a big part of the "Definition of Done". The Story Tests written at the beginning of an iteration will initially fail. It is the responsibility of the team to implement the requirements in order to make the Story Tests pass. This practice is called Story Test Driven Development and it is a natural extension of the well known Test-Driven Development and Automated Acceptance Testing practices.

CUITe (Coded UI Test enhanced) Framework is a thin layer developed on top of Microsoft Visual Studio Team Test's Coded UI Test engine which helps reduce code, increases readability and maintainability, while also providing a bunch of cool features for the automation engineer.
