Keep API tests in sync with OpenAPI using Claude Code | SmartBear ReadyAPI

Want your API tests to stay accurate every time your OpenAPI spec changes? See how the SmartBear ReadyAPI MCP Server connects directly to Claude Code, so your API tests stay in sync with your OpenAPI spec without manual rework so you stay apace of change. In this walkthrough, Adrian Minnock, SmartBear Solutions Engineering Team Lead, configures the ReadyAPI MCP Server and connects it to Claude Code from the terminal. The demo also shows how ReadyAPI detects and repairs tests automatically after a spec change, then runs the new suite with ReadyAPI's own execution engine.

Reliability Engineering in the AI Era

Engineering leaders have been claiming to “shift quality left” for years but production remains stubbornly stuck out of reach of software engineers. The realm of production remains mysterious with tools no one has access to and UIs that wouldn’t make sense to engineers anyway. I’ve noticed a small but growing trend of large enterprises hiring Reliability Engineers instead of Site Reliability Engineers. Dropping one word looks cosmetic but I think it points to a much bigger change.

From Telemetry to Traffic

A metric says latency increased. A log says a request failed. A trace identifies the slow dependency. An APM agent points to the method. Manual instrumentation explains the business operation. Traffic capture shows the exact request and response that triggered it. Each layer answers a question the previous layer could not. Each also introduces a new cost, blind spot, and failure mode.

The AI Code Verification Crisis: Meet AURA, the platform built to solve it

AI didn't remove the release bottleneck, it moved it downstream. Code volume exploded, verification didn't. The old QA model isn't broken, it's outgrown: 80% of engineering teams have already traced a production incident to AI-generated code. AURA is Sauce Labs' answer, the only full-lifecycle release assurance platform built to close the gap. It continuously verifies every release against business intent, authoring, running, and regenerating tests in an autonomous learning loop, with humans in control.

How to Improve Interoperability in Healthcare: A Practical Roadmap (2026)

Healthcare interoperability enables clinical, administrative, and financial systems to exchange usable health information securely. It connects EHRs, payer platforms, laboratories, pharmacies, medical devices, and patient applications. In 2026, interoperability requires more than transferring data between disconnected systems. Healthcare organizations must standardize data models, resolve patient identities, govern access, maintain semantic consistency, and support real-time API-based workflows.

More tests won't fix your SAP releases

ABAP turned 43 this year — “an unusually long run,” as Sonja Liénard, head of ABAP platform at SAP, put it in a recent interview. SAP’s proprietary language has been reinvented numerous times, from procedural code to today’s ABAP Cloud, to keep up with market demands. The same cannot be said for ABAP testing. Most SAP teams are deciding what to test the way they did twenty years ago: run the full regression suite and hope it holds.
