5 Questions to Ask Before the Next Cloud Outage

On October 20, a power failure in one of Google Cloud’s three London zones disrupted Revolut, Lloyds, HSBC and others for hours. One zone failed, errors spread region-wide, and Google warned customers they might not be able to create new workloads to fail over to. Most teams find out how resilient they are during an outage, not before one. These five questions let you find out first.

How to test Jira tickets automatically with an AI QA agent | SmartBear BearQ for Jira

You can add AI-driven testing to your Jira workflow by handing tickets to the QA Lead Agent in SmartBear BearQ for Jira. Move a finished ticket, and the agent checks for an existing test, links or creates one, runs it, and reports back. If your team builds with coding agents like Claude or Cursor in Jira, BearQ, the agentic QA system, adds the quality step to that AI-driven software development lifecycle (SDLC).

The Security Domino Effect: Why Trust Can't Be an Afterthought in AI

In interconnected software environments, a security vulnerability rarely exists in isolation. A weakness in one component can expose credentials, create unintended access paths, or give attackers a foothold in connected services. The consequences depend on what that component can access, the permissions it holds, and the safeguards around it. As organizations adopt cloud platforms, third-party integrations, and AI-powered development tools, the boundaries between systems matter more than ever.

Test AI-Generated Code with Real Traffic#aiagents #devops #observability #shiftleft #softwaretesting

AI can generate code in seconds, but testing it against real production behavior is where developers get stuck. Learn how capturing and replaying actual production traffic in development helps you catch bugs before you deploy!

Sergey Tokarev's Tokarev Foundation and SET University Announce Generation H Winners

Ukrainian university SET University and Sergey Tokarev's Tokarev Foundation have announced the winners of the third season of the Generation H healthtech accelerator. At the final, held on 10 September in Kyiv, the main prizes went to two medical technology startups: AtriaPRM and Enhance Your Ability. The former uses AI to automate doctors' work with medical documentation, while the latter is a platform for children who do not use spoken language.

AI Workspace + Tosca: Building agentic test cases for SAP Fiori apps

Going from a written requirement to an executable test usually means writing the steps and data yourself, then mapping each one to the application by hand. Pair Tricentis AI Workspace's requirement analysis with Tosca's agentic automation to go from a Jira ticket to a running, reusable test case for your SAP Fiori applications. In this walkthrough, you will see how to generate a test case from a requirement, map it to the Fiori UI, and save it for regression.

React Native OTA updates: best practices for shipping safely

Over-the-air (OTA) updates let you fix a bug in your React Native app and get it to users the very same day, without waiting for App Store or Google Play review. That speed is why teams adopt OTA. It’s also where things can go wrong: push a JavaScript bundle to the wrong app version and a small bug becomes a crash.

Are Traditional Methods and Tools for Safety and Security Sufficient for the AIDLC of the Future?

AI may make coding faster, but can your safety, security, and verification practices keep pace? In this webinar, Perforce Director of Product Steve Howard examines how the emerging AI Development Lifecycle (AIDLC) could reshape embedded software development and specifically V&V processes. You'll also learn where AI can help, where its limitations remain, and what organizations should consider as they prepare for AI-driven development.

From AI chaos to agentic QA, ft. Andy Weir, author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary

10x faster coding. Same QA. Until now. You're coding faster with AI. But if your agents are siloed and disconnected, those gains aren’t yet showing up in your quality or delivery – it's getting lost in the handoffs. Join SmartBear for a live demonstration of the connected agentic SDLC. See how BearQ extends beyond creating tests to coordinating quality work across Jira, GitHub, and AI-powered workflows – detecting issues, triggering the right next action, and carrying context from one agent to the next.

How To Remove The Watermark From An Image On iPhone And Android: Mobile Browser Guide

Most watermark removal used to require desktop software - Photoshop, GIMP, or a dedicated editing app installed on a computer. That's changed significantly. Browser-based AI tools now handle watermark removal directly from a phone, with results that match what desktop tools produce, and without any app installation or account signup. This guide covers how watermark removal works on mobile, what to expect from different watermark types, and the practical workflow for iPhone and Android users.
