Testing AI Code in CI/CD Made Simple for Developers

Generative AI can produce code faster than humans, and developers feel more productive with it integrated into their IDEs. That productivity is only real if CI/CD tests are solid and automated. When not appropriately tested, you may encounter a production issue that you haven't seen before. According to the State of Software Delivery 2025 report, 67% of developers spend more time debugging and resolving security vulnerabilities in code generated by AI. That cancels out the efficient gains that they get from faster AI code generation.

Best Affordable Test Automation Tools For QA Teams In 2025 [Pricing Comparison]

In our rapidly-changing digital world, companies are always searching for tools to enable automation for testing. Due to the increase in popularity of test automation, it is important to understand the pricing for testing tools. Whether you’re selecting a platform to help you simplify your QA process or determining how much to invest in test automation, pricing is an important factor.

Augmenting Coverage; Not Just Speed

Agentic testing isn’t just about faster execution - it’s about uncovering what’s missing from your test suite. This blog explores a forward-looking model where AI agents help identify gaps in traditional, deterministic systems through techniques like scenario delta detection, data condition surfacing, edge path exploration, and test case obsolescence tracking.

Xray App Editions: more flexibility, more choice for all teams

In the Atlassian ecosystem, every team has its own way of approaching testing: some are just starting out and need the basics; others are scaling automation, managing complex pipelines, or working under strict compliance standards. Until now, Xray offered a core application with the base set of features, and users could add Xray Enterprise on top of that to gain access to additional functionalities.

QA Debt: The Silent Risk That Can Take Down Your Business

In engineering, we talk a lot about technical debt — the shortcuts and compromises made in code that pile up over time. But there’s another kind of debt that’s just as dangerous and far more invisible: QA debt. QA debt is what happens when testing isn’t given the same attention as features, architecture, or performance. It’s the accumulation of missed edge cases, outdated test suites, incomplete automation, or skipped regression checks.

Why Business Leaders Cannot Afford QA Delays

Every boardroom in any company that is transforming its systems should be asking the same question: How long before our next ERP release? When that timeline stretches because of QA delays, the consequences are not just technical – they are strategic. Release schedules slip, budgets escalate, and stakeholders begin to lose faith. Quality assurance is not merely a phase. It can be the difference between being a market leader and lagging.

Jest Mock: How To Mock A Provider In JavaScript Testing

Whether for frontend or backend, testing is a key aspect of building trustworthy JavaScript applications. For example, when writing code that relies on external modules or services such as APIs, databases, or configuration providers, mocking can allow for a more isolated testing structure without those real dependencies. If you are using Jest, one of the most popular JavaScript testing frameworks, then you may have seen the term mock.

SmartBear Named a Challenger in the First-Ever Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI-Augmented Software Testing Tools

For decades, testing was about ensuring predictable outcomes in mostly static environments. Today, AI-driven applications are dynamic, adaptive, and sometimes unpredictable. That raises the stakes for quality engineering. When Gartner rolls out a brand-new Magic Quadrant, it’s a big deal to those of us in the software industry. We believe it signifies a new, innovative tech has officially arrived on the global stage.
