Functional unit and integration tests are a standard tool of any software development organization, helping not only to ensure correctness of newly implemented code, but also to identify regressions — bugs in existing functionality introduced by a code change.

I fell in love with San Diego on my first visit in 1996. I could imagine calling it home. A laid-back lifestyle, an amazingly diverse community, sea breezes—what else could a systems engineer from gray England want? Back then, San Diego wasn’t exactly a hub of innovative technology. So, when Fred Luddy founded ServiceNow in San Diego, he forged a new path. In fact, he was ahead of his time in many ways.

The world of work is changing faster than ever, but one thing remains the same: When technology unleashes human creativity and passion, everyone benefits. In this spirit, I’m proud to introduce the Now Platform® San Diego release, available today. The San Diego release features advanced hyperautomation capabilities and a sleek, intuitive design.

Imagine while the maintenance team working on some work order and they require a specific type of equipment, but they do not find it. Now the work is halted, and everyone has started looking for this required equipment. But they do not find it. These types of scenarios are quite common in all sectors. Now either asset theft occurred, or someone placed an asset in the wrong place.

Possibly the most anticipated feature of SCOM 2022 is Delegated Administrators! It’s not the shiniest of features but it has long been a pain point of SCOM admins, which have only ever been able to use three pre-defined roles to grant to users (plus read only).

Good news! SCOM 2022 contains a native integration with Microsoft Teams, replacing the old Skype for Business integration! Once setup, you can expect notifications like the below one in Microsoft Teams channels as desired.
