From Buggy Beginnings to AI-Powered Quality with Cristiano Caetano

Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Cristiano Caetano, VP of Product at Katalon, to explore his journey in software testing. It was a path that began with frustration, evolved through innovation, and now looks toward an exciting AI-driven future. Cristiano's insights shed light not only on his personal career path but also on the broader evolution and future of software testing.

The Hidden Cost of 30% AI-Generated Code #speedscale #aicoding #devops #technews #ai

AI now writes 30% of Big Tech’s code, but the resulting surge in defects is crashing platforms like AWS and GitHub. Manual testing can no longer keep up with this velocity; it's time to deploy AI Quality Agents to save our systems. Is AI speed worth the decline in code quality, or are we headed for a breaking point? Let me know if you’ve noticed more bugs in your workflow lately. Video collab with @ScottMooreConsultingLLC.

Frank O''Dowd

AI is reshaping how sales teams find prospects, build relationships, and close deals. Frank O’Dowd, Cloudera’s Chief Revenue Officer, joins to discuss Cloudera’s approach to AI in the sales function. Frank details his philosophy, which is that rather than replacing the human touch, AI is helping sales professionals work smarter, offering insights, personalization, and efficiency at scale. It’s a complementary tool that can help sales teams make themselves relevant to their target audience. As Frank says in the episode, “The person with the most information always wins.”

The Rise of AI-Driven Performance Engineering

There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with traditional performance testing. You spend weeks building perfect load scenarios, run them overnight and wake up to a wall of red in your monitoring dashboard. Half your day disappears into log files, trying to piece together what went wrong. And just when you think you’ve got it right, a minor UI update breaks everything and you’re back to square one. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Copilot vs Cursor: A Complete AI Coding Assistant Comparison

Coding with artificial intelligence is not just a nice-to-have; AI applications in computer programming are becoming integral to modern computer programming workflows. Presently, two primary applications dominate the discussions in this area: GitHub Copilot and Cursor AI. While both applications provide faster coding times and fewer bugs, fewer bugs, and smarter code, they offer such features in extremely different ways.

Chat with Your Data: The Official Databox MCP

Your AI is brilliant, but it’s blind. Until now. We are thrilled to launch the official Databox MCP (Model Context Protocol). This open standard server bridges the gap between your business data and your favorite AI tools, turning general-purpose LLMs into specialized data analysts that know your business data. Stop manually exporting CSVs or taking screenshots of dashboards. With Databox MCP, you can connect 130+ data sources (Google Analytics, HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, and more) directly to tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and n8n.

What Is MCP? Connecting AI Across the Software Delivery Lifecycle

AI promises speed and automation — but most teams are still stuck jumping between disconnected tools across development, testing, and operations. In this video, we introduce the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how it enables AI assistants to securely access tools, systems, and real-time context across the software delivery lifecycle. MCP is the foundation of Perforce Intelligence, allowing AI to: The result: less friction, faster feedback, and AI that works with your existing systems — not around them.
