QMetry vs. OpenText ALM: Why QMetry is the better choice for regulated QA

Regulated QA teams carry a pressure most testing platforms weren’t built to solve for at the same time. Every release still needs traceability from requirement to test case to defect that holds up under audit. Approvals and evidence still need to be airtight. At the same time, agile releases, DevOps pipelines, and AI-assisted development keep moving, whether or not the testing platform underneath has kept pace.

Top Healthcare Interoperability Companies to Know in 2026

The healthcare interoperability vendors 2026 buyers are evaluating enable secure data exchange across providers, payers, patients, and digital health platforms. Their solutions connect fragmented systems through Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) APIs, Health Level Seven (HL7) interfaces, identity matching, and terminology mapping. Vendor selection is critical because most Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) CMS-0057-F API requirements begin in January 2027.

BFSI Software Testing: How Quality Engineering Builds Secure and Reliable Financial Applications

Financial applications leave little room for failure. A delayed payment, an inaccurate transaction, an exposed customer record, or a failed banking integration can quickly become a business and customer-trust issue. This is why BFSI software testing needs to go beyond checking whether individual features work. Financial platforms bring together sensitive data, payment workflows, banking APIs, authentication systems, databases, and customer-facing interfaces.

I built an API traffic classifier for business workflows

An engineering leader asked me a question a few weeks ago: could we read their business workflows out of API traffic instead of asking people to document them? I said it should be possible. Then I tried it. A few engineers know how the system really works. They know which calls make up a work order and which checks happen after a write. That stuff rarely makes it into the test plan. Usually it’s in somebody’s head. Sometimes it’s in several heads, with slightly different answers.

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.

Migrating a LoadRunner Script to OctoPerf With an AI Agent

A VuGen script is C. Some scripts are a recorded journey with helpers around it, others are a framework that happens to send a few requests. OctoPerf 17 ships a LoadRunner migration playbook for AI agents whose first job is to tell you which one you have. Real prompts, real output, script downloadable. Target: JPetStore, our public MyBatis demo shop. Every step is reproducible. One Action.c, HTTP recording level, eight transactions walking a purchase. Around them: It replays green in VuGen.

Agentic QA demo: Stop fixing broken test scripts

See agentic testing in action with SmartBear BearQ. BearQ uses autonomous agents to explore your application, uncover defects, create regression tests, and adapt testing as your product changes – with human oversight built into the process. Broken, flaky test scripts eat up hours every sprint – and still leave gaps in coverage. SmartBear BearQ replaces constant script maintenance with agentic QA, so testing can move beyond predefined paths without giving up human oversight.

From 10 Days to Hours: How Delta Financial Systems cut regression testing time with SeaLights

Jamie Avery, Head of Development at Delta Financial Systems, explains how his team moved from multi-day regression cycles to same-day releases, without compromising quality in a highly regulated pensions environment.

Healthcare Interoperability Solutions: Types, Approaches, and How to Choose (2026)

Healthcare interoperability solutions enable secure data exchange between EHRs, payers, laboratories, devices, and patient applications. Zymr's healthcare engineering teams work across all of these categories, which is where the framework below comes from. These solutions use standards such as HL7 FHIR to structure data and support API-based integration.
