10 Surprisingly Powerful Projects You Can Run on a Raspberry Pi (2025-2026)
From smart home automation to self-hosted API backends, discover what the humble Raspberry Pi can really do as we head into 2026. As we close out 2025 and look ahead to 2026, the Raspberry Pi continues to punch well above its weight class. What started as an educational tool has evolved into a legitimate platform for home servers, IoT hubs, development environments, and even production-grade API backends.
2026 Resolutions To Improve Financial Reporting
For many finance leaders, 2025 was a year of upheaval, chaos, and uncertainty. Between supply chain disruptions, tariffs, interest rates, and other challenges, plenty of leaders spent their time just keeping the team afloat. As 2026 begins, it’s time to shift to a better perspective. With the right tools and attitude, finance professionals can set and meet goals that are more than just keeping your head above water.
Measuring the Impact of AI in QA and Automation | Jaydeep Chakrabarty | Testflix 2025
In this fireside chat with Jaydeep, we’ll dive into how AI is changing the way we measure success in both QA processes and live generative AI bots. On the QA side, we’ll look at cycle time reduction—the “time goalie” metric that shows how quickly we move from discovering a bug to fixing it. We’ll also talk about predictive quality accuracy, which shifts QA from being reactive to proactive by predicting which code changes are most likely to introduce bugs. And of course, we’ll touch on test creation velocity—how much faster teams are able to create meaningful automation with AI’s support.
Can you share what challenge the customer was facing before finding Katalon?
Many customers were struggling with BDD-style test processes — writing structured, English-language scripts that business and tech teams could agree on but couldn’t easily automate. Before Katalon, they lacked a smooth way to turn those scripts or raw requirements into automated tests, which Katalon (and AI features like Studio Assist) finally made efficient. — Coty Rosenblath, Chief Technology Officer at Katalon.
What Is Baseline Testing? Meaning, Examples & Use Cases
Every software change answers one simple question: Did something break? Baseline testing exists to answer it with confidence. Teams often ship regressions simply because they lack a reliable reference to compare against. In modern software testing, a baseline provides that reference point and helps teams understand change without slowing down delivery.
Build data analytics agents faster with BigQuery's fully managed, remote MCP server
The new fully managed remote BigQuery MCP server makes it easier to build intelligent data AI agents.
Exploring Rails Action Cable with Solid Cable
Real-time features are becoming increasingly important in web applications, but not every Rails developer is familiar with Action Cable, the framework's built-in WebSocket library. Rails Action Cable has long supported web sockets, but comes with some additional complexity. Rails 8 introduces Solid Cable, a new database-backed adapter for Action Cable that eliminates the need for Redis. In this guide, I'll walk you through Action Cable by way of Solid Cable and show you how to build a real-time feature.
The Embedded BI Advantage: Why On-Premises Analytics Beats Third-Party BI for Data Security
Corporate concerns about entrusting sensitive data to third-party platforms keep many CTOs awake at night. Every time data leaves your infrastructure for a bolted-on BI tool, you're gambling with control. The stakes? Regulatory compliance, competitive advantage, and customer trust. Deploying a business analytics solution while keeping data safe and compliant often involves choosing between BI solutions that are either “bolted-on” or “embedded”.
Top Sandbox Platforms for AI Code Execution in 2026
In 2026, as AI models increasingly generate, refactor, and deploy code on their own, developers face a new challenge: how to safely run code they didn’t write. Sandboxes have become the backbone of this new workflow because they are lightweight, secure environments that let teams test, validate, and monitor code without risking production systems.
