Many talk about bringing Al into testing - what makes Katalon stand out?

What makes Katalon stand out is its tester-first approach to AI. Instead of chasing flashy demos, Katalon has spent years co-developing AI capabilities with customers, focusing on how AI fits naturally into real testing workflows. The result is AI that testers can actually adopt and trust, delivering measurable gains in productivity, speed, and efficiency in day-to-day work — Alex Martins, VP of Strategy at Katalon.

Application Migration Simplified: How to Optimize Data for the Cloud

Organizations over the years have seen the writing on the wall: The future is cloud. Now, these companies and their DevOps teams areevolving, innovating, and pursuing new technologies, to gain a competitive edge and create new efficiencies. One of the ways they’re doing this is through application migration to cloud. In this blog, I’ll detail the nuances of application migration and how to best manage data during it, including various challenges and their solutions.

LLM Testing Checklist: 50 Validations Before Production

A financial services startup launched its AI assistant without doing a proper LLM testing checklist. Within 72 hours, it gave three customers dangerous advice, telling them to withdraw their retirement savings and invest in penny stocks. The problem? The advice was completely made up. There was no validation, no factual grounding, just confident and detailed responses that were entirely wrong. The company then spent the next six months addressing regulatory issues and rebuilding customer trust.

Balancing modernization and legacy code can be a challenge for web developers. In this video, we dive into managing time as a web developer during an enterprise PHP upgrade, exploring the hidden time costs of refactoring, training, and debugging. Learn how to navigate these challenges while maintaining team velocity and tackling cognitive load.

SmartBear Application Integrity Core | Redefining software quality for the AI era

Agent-powered code generation is happening at unprecedented speed, creating a growing gap between development velocity and your ability to validate what's being built. This leaves organizations unsure if their applications are doing what's intended or missing what's required. That's why SmartBear delivers application integrity for the AI era – ensuring continuous, measurable assurance that your software just works as intended, with governance to operate at AI speed and scale.

Meet SmartBear BearQ - QA for the Age of AI

The AI revolutionized coding, but software testing hasn’t caught up. Until now. Meet BearQ: QA built for the age of AI. BearQ introduces a new paradigm of autonomous, agentic quality assurance. Instead of static scripts and brittle frameworks, BearQ’s specialized AI agents – the QA Lead Agent, Tester Agent, and Explorer Agent – work continuously to: Testing was a static checkpoint. Now it’s a living, learning system that ensures application integrity.

Benefits Of Test Automation That Improve Release Confidence

The benefits of test automation become clear when software teams start releasing faster than they can manually test. Many engineering teams today face the same challenge: delivery speed is increasing, but validating every change manually takes too long. Test automation helps solve this by running tests quickly, catching bugs earlier, and reducing repetitive manual work so teams can release software with greater confidence.

API Testing Services: Solutions, Process, Tools & Best Providers

API testing services help organizations validate API functionality, performance, security, integrations, and reliability across the software lifecycle. These services are typically delivered by QA teams, testing vendors, or automation platforms to ensure APIs work correctly in real-world environments. APIs are no longer just backend infrastructure—they are the backbone of modern digital products.

Application integrity: The new standard for AI-era software quality

Over the past few years, we’ve watched coding velocity accelerate at an extraordinary pace. AI has completely disrupted how developers build software. Agentic tools can now generate clean code faster than ever before. While AI has turbocharged code generation, code review, and code-level testing, it’s created a massive strain on the rest of the software development lifecycle.
