jeylabs PowerToolz: Addressing the ‘hidden’ low-code development challenge

jeylabs’ PowerToolz is an integrated toolset, designed specifically for K2 customers, that provides targeted test automation and administration tools for teams delivering and supporting business critical K2 applications.

Top takeaways

In-depth knowledge of K2

jeylabs was founded in 2009 by Jey Srikantha, a longtime K2 Insider, a member of the K2 Advisory Board and one of a select few K2 Global Technology Partners. The Australian company was deeply involved with K2 for over almost a decade and in the launch of the current major K2 technology release, K2 Five, jeylabs built automation tools specifically to help K2 customers migrate their legacy workflows to the new platform. jeylabs used its in-depth knowledge of the K2 platform and tools, as well as its experience of how K2 technology is applied in real world solutions, to build PowerToolz.

Real-world test automation and administration

PowerToolz is an integrated toolset, designed specifically for K2 customers, that provides targeted test automation and administration tools for teams delivering and supporting business critical K2 applications.

You can use PowerToolz to automate functional testing across all of the major types of artefact in K2 applications – SmartObjects, SmartForms, Views and Workflows. There’s also test planning and scheduling functionality that together enable very solid regression testing capabilities. Beyond its testing functionality, PowerToolz also provides a set of management, administration and troubleshooting features that are obviously informed by the challenges of delivering real-world K2 implementation projects.

Delivering real business agility at scale

Low-code application development platforms can offer beleaguered teams huge benefits in terms of development velocity. However true application delivery agility – and through that, business agility – only comes when teams can optimise the whole delivery process. Few low-code application development platforms really work in ways that make that broader optimisation easy.

jeylabs’ PowerToolz offers a suite of integrated automated testing and administration tools designed specifically for the K2 low-code application development platform, and through that, addresses the broader delivery agility challenge for K2 customers. All the core test automation bases are covered, and offered at a compelling price point. What’s particularly noteworthy is that by using the K2 application repository itself to store and manage testing artefacts alongside K2 application artefacts, PowerToolz delivers a number of significant Quality management benefits that will help teams work quickly and effectively at scale.
