How does BearQ autonomous QA work? Your top questions answered

Testing software at scale has always been a race against change. Then, AI-coding turned what was once a challenge into a crisis: rapid development cycles accelerated by AI have made it impossible to maintain comprehensive test coverage and catch issues before they impact users. In SmartBear’s Closing the AI Software Quality Gap Study, 60% of software experts told us they experienced quality issues as development outpaces testing.

SmartBear testing tools compared

AI-accelerated development has fundamentally changed how software is built, and across the industry, its impact on quality is already measurable. In SmartBear’s Closing the AI software quality gap study, we found nearly 70% of software professionals report application quality is declining as AI speeds up code generation, with development velocity increasingly outpacing teams’ ability to test effectively.

Compute Governance for AI Teams: Pools, Profiles, and Policies in ClearML

By Adam Wolf This blog covers how ClearML’s compute governance layer (resource pools, profiles, and policies) gives every team fair, prioritized access to shared infrastructure without leaving hardware idle. It accompanies our Enterprise AI Infrastructure Security YouTube series. Watch the corresponding video below.

Securing Production Model Serving with ClearML's AI Application Gateway

By Adam Wolf When a model moves to production, the security requirements change. You are no longer protecting a development workflow; you are protecting a live API that accepts input from the outside world. This blog covers how ClearML’s AI Application Gateway handles routing, authentication, and access control for production endpoints, and what that means for IT directors responsible for the infrastructure behind them. It accompanies our Enterprise AI Infrastructure Security YouTube series.

Ably Python SDK v3: realtime for Python, built for AI

Python dominates AI development. It's where teams build their agents, orchestration layers, and the backend systems that turn LLM calls into products people actually use. Over the past year, those systems have matured rapidly. What used to live in notebooks and prototypes is now running in production, serving real users with real expectations around reliability and performance. That maturity brings infrastructure requirements. Tokens need to stream in order.
