Rest API Testing: Strategy, Automation & Best Practices

In the digital-first world of today, many applications depend on RESTful APIs as the connectivity placeholder: whether between microservices, mobile applications, third-party integrations or SaaS platforms, it is important for ensuring these APIs are reliable, secure and performant. This is where you can utilize REST API testing.

Generate Full Pact Tests Automatically | SmartBear MCP Server

Did you know you can automatically generate complete Pact test suites directly inside your IDE? No more writing boilerplate test code manually! In this video, we show how SmartBear MCP tools work with GitHub Copilot (or any MCP-compatible agent) to automatically create best-practice consumer contract tests tailored to your project.

Replace FTP with Secure APIs: Modernizing Customer Data Delivery with DreamFactory

If your company is still delivering data to customers via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or SFTP, you are trapped in a legacy workflow. While FTP was the standard for decades, today's digital landscape requires speed, security, and automation. Relying on manual file uploads, batch scripts, and static CSVs is no longer just "old school"—it is a liability. It leads to data latency, security risks, and poor customer satisfaction. Modern businesses are moving from "file drops" to using modern API's.

Introducing Choreo Navigation Assistant

AI has become an integral part of how we work today. From writing code to managing workflows, AI assistants help us complete tasks faster and with greater precision. In modern software products, AI copilots are no longer a luxury, they’re a necessity. They reduce cognitive load, simplify complex workflows, and allow users to focus on what truly matters.

Introducing Automation Pipelines in Choreo

Choreo already provides application developers with powerful CI/CD pipelines, enabling them to automate, customize, and streamline build and deployment processes. However, until now, external resource integration was limited strictly to APIs—lacking a native mechanism to create or register other external dependencies like databases, message queues, or storage services directly within the platform.

Agile Vs Waterfall: Choosing The Right Approach For Your Project

Choosing the best project methodology for a software project can help or hinder it greatly. Teams frequently evaluate Agile vs Waterfall. When teams choose an approach, they often have to consider the schedule and the manner in which they want to deliver the software. This choice becomes especially important when engineering teams and QA teams work together. Rapid changes during development along with rapid product releases and QA testing are common.

How to Create SSL Certificates for Nginx Using Certbot: A Complete Guide

Securing your web applications with HTTPS is essential for production deployments. SSL/TLS certificates encrypt data in transit, protect user privacy, and improve search engine rankings. For Nginx web servers, Certbot from Let's Encrypt provides a free, automated solution for obtaining and managing SSL certificates. This guide walks you through implementing SSL certificates on Nginx using Certbot, covering installation, certificate generation, and automated renewal.

What is an AI Gateway? Key Benefits and Examples

Applications and systems using AI have exploded in popularity, with every company looking to integrate AI anywhere they can. This move toward AI-assisted and AI-powered products appears to be the future. However, early adoption is great, but gaps form quickly at scale. For example, in 2023 OWASP began to publish the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications (updated again in 2025), which outlined ten common security flaws found in LLM-based applications.

AI can't replace YOU... yet #genai #softwarearchitecture #wso2

Even AI experts like Andrej Karpathy don’t let AI do the thinking for them. The rule? Manual First. If you let an algorithm do the first pass, you lose the nuance and "sense" that only a human brain can pick up. Don’t trade deep understanding for a shortcut. In this clip from EP18: Deep Work for Architects, Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana explains why relying on AI summaries kills your ability to think deeply—and how to use tools without losing your edge.
