Top 7 Network Protocols Every Tester Must Know in 2026

Performance engineers who tailor their analysis to the specific behaviors and metrics of each network protocol will uncover issues that generic approaches miss. With protocols like QUIC and HTTP/3 seeing rapid adoption, keeping testing methods current is essential for credible results.

Ep 88 | AI Adoption vs. Adaptation: What Problem Are You Solving?

Paul McDonough-Smith estimates that many business leaders would struggle to define their organization’s problem clearly in fewer than 25 words. With AI, that lack of clarity can quickly turn into fragmented solutions and misplaced expectations. In this episode of The AI Forecast, Paul Muller sits down with Paul McDonough-Smith, a Visiting Senior Lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management and a Senior Advisor to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, to explore how organizations can approach AI with greater clarity and purpose.

How to Build a Fee Transparency Compliance System for Multifamily Listings (While the Rules Are Still Settling)

A leasing team lowers the admin fee on a two-bedroom unit inside the PMS on Monday. By Friday, the property’s own site still shows the old figure, two syndication partners show a third number, and the Google Business Profile lists no mandatory fees at all.

AI Optimization - Semantic Understanding - Quick Demo

AI Optimization is a workspace for managing how Qlik Answers understands an application. It brings semantic management into one experience, where you can review AI-generated semantic understanding and make corrections before they reach an answer. The result is a visible, correctable layer where there used to be none. AI Optimization is the central place to manage how Qlik Answers interprets your application. Semantic Understanding, inside it, shows and lets you edit this interpretation of each field and master item.

Where agentic AI is most valuable in performance testing

Quick summary: Performance teams can generate tests in minutes, but the analysis still takes hours. Agentic Performance Testing in NeoLoad uses domain-specialized AI agents to deliver a finished analysis from a single request, so engineers can start with the conclusions, rather than the raw data. Performance testing answers a critical question in the quality engineering lifecycle: will this hold up when real people use it, under real conditions, at real volume?

What actually makes you trust the software you ship?

What actually makes you trust the software you ship? Proof. As AI changes how software gets built, teams need more than faster delivery in a crowded market where new tools and solutions are constantly emerging. Trust has to be earned. They need application integrity: confidence that what they're shipping works as intended.
