Why PHP LTS is a Lifeline for Companies Stuck on Unsupported Versions
Still running an older PHP version and not sure how to upgrade safely? In this clip from “The 2026 State of PHP” webinar, Zend PHP experts break down how to update PHP versions and discuss why it’s a critical part of legacy software modernization.

The Complete Guide to Core Banking Modernization: Strategy, Architecture, and Implementation
Core banking is no longer just an operational backbone. It has quietly become the biggest constraint on innovation for many financial institutions.

How to scale AI test automation without losing test visibility
According to SmartBear’s Closing the AI Software Quality Gap study, 93% of teams are already using AI to generate code. The same study found that 60% expect AI to produce nearly half of all code within the next year. This shift in development velocity is already impacting software testing and quality. Most teams say application quality is suffering, and 60% have experienced quality issues in the past year because development is moving faster than testing can keep up.
