Your In-House Device Infrastructure Costs More Than You Think
Buying the devices is the easy part. The other 90% of the work is what nobody builds into the budget.

AI tip #2: Improve pull requests with AI
AI tip: For pull requests, let your AI agent take the first pass before your team ever sees it. That's the workflow Ilia Mogilevsky, Software Engineering Manager at SmartBear, built. By packaging prompts into a skill loaded with Git history, Jira context, and CI checks, he turned a basic AI assistant into a reviewer he trusts. The skill then generates a structured report with approval-ready fixes. Accept the changes, adjust what's off, and push – review cycles shrink and deploys move faster.
12 Best Contract Testing Tools In 2026
I’ve watched enough production incidents get traced back to a "small" API change to know this: contract testing tools exist because integration bugs are expensive, and most teams find that out the hard way. One service changes a response field, nobody notices until a downstream consumer breaks in production, and now three teams are on a call at 11 PM figuring out whose change caused it. Most "best contract testing tools" lists just dump fifteen names on you with no structure.
Quality People: Gastón Marichal on Why Agentic QA's Hardest Problem Isn't the Technology
A conversation with Gastón Marichal, QA Manager at QAlified, on why the hardest part of agentic QA has nothing to do with the technology. In the first installment of this series, we heard from Huy Tieu, a Katalon product manager building an AI quality companion from the inside. This time we wanted the other side of the table: someone who has to make agentic QA work for real client teams, on real delivery timelines, with real consequences if it goes wrong.
CI/CD Testing: Complete Guide To Continuous Testing (2026)
CI/CD testing is the practice of running automated tests throughout a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline to validate every code change before deployment. By automating unit, integration, API, and end-to-end tests, teams can catch bugs early, improve code quality, and release software faster with confidence.
Congrats on Your Promotion to QA Engineer #speedscale #coding #vibecoding #softwareengineer #devops
A new Google white paper suggests that as AI writes the majority of our code, the role of a software engineer is shifting from writing applications to performing rigorous validation and QA.
What Is Vibe Testing? A Practical Guide For Developers
Vibe testing is what happens when the way software gets built changes faster than the way it gets tested. For years, QA worked on a simple assumption: developers write the code, testers verify it. That assumption breaks down when the code is being generated by an AI from a plain English prompt. The person shipping the feature may not have written a single line of it – and may not fully understand how it works under the hood.
How SoftComply and Xray Enable Risk-Based Testing in Jira Cloud
For organizations developing regulated products, risk management and testing are closely connected. Every identified risk must be assessed, mitigated, verified, and documented to support compliance requirements and release decisions. Yet these activities often happen in separate systems. Risk assessments may live in dedicated risk management tools or spreadsheets, and testing is usually managed elsewhere.
How to Find and Detect PII in Your Kubernetes Traffic Data Lake
This video demonstrates how to use the ProxyMock web tool to record API traffic from a remote Kubernetes cluster and automatically scan it for hidden PII to ensure the data is safe for developers to use.
