Enterprise test management: Should you build or buy in the age of AI?

Jul 13, 2026 By Klaudia Makiej In SmartBear
AI has opened the door for teams to build tools they previously had to buy. With the right prompts and internal workflows, teams can generate test cases, summarize results, analyze defects, and automate parts of the testing process faster than ever. For enterprise QA and engineering leaders, that raises a practical question: “should we build our own test management layer, or adopt an AI-powered test management platform?” It’s a fair conversation to have.

Maintenance Testing: Types, Challenges & Tools (2026)

Jul 13, 2026 By Keploy In Keploy
Last month, a two-line bug fix took down three unrelated features in a colleague’s app. The fix itself was correct — it patched a null check on a checkout API. Nobody re-ran the tests for the inventory service that depended on it, and by Monday, support tickets were stacking up. That gap is exactly what maintenance testing exists to close. Maintenance testing is the QA work you do after software ships — testing every bug fix, upgrade, patch, or migration to confirm nothing else broke.

What Is A Test Bed In Software Testing? A Practitioner'S Guide

Jul 10, 2026 By Keploy In Keploy
Every tester has lost an afternoon to an environment that would not behave. The code was fine. The suite was fine. The problem was the ground the tests ran on. That ground has a name, and getting it right is quietly one of the highest leverage things a QA team can do. It is called a test bed, and this guide walks through what it is, what goes into one, why it tends to fall apart, and how teams keep it stable without babysitting infrastructure all day.

AI writes code in seconds, but delivery still takes days

Jul 9, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale
The pitch for AI coding was speed. Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, whatever you’re running, they all generate business logic faster than you can review it. That part is real. But look at what happens after the code gets written and the numbers get ugly. CircleCI’s 2026 State of Software Delivery Report found AI drove a 59% increase in average throughput.

Ship production-ready APIs faster and confidently with SmartBear ReadyAPI | Demo Den

Jul 9, 2026 By SmartBear In SmartBear
API testing gets harder as it grows: fragmented tools, brittle scripts, thousands of endpoints, and external dependencies that block progress. SmartBear ReadyAPI lets teams ship production-ready APIs faster by validating functionality, performance, and security in one test, with virtualization built in – no separate tools to juggle. In this Demo Den, Thomas Hurley, senior manager of product management at SmartBear, shows how one test does the work of three, so teams cut maintenance time and stop waiting on external dependencies.

How to Trace Microservices WITHOUT OpenTelemetry

Jul 9, 2026 By Speedscale In Speedscale
Learn how to trace complex multi-hop transactions across microservices when OpenTelemetry isn't available or trace parents get lost. This quick tutorial demonstrates how to use full-text search in proxymock (a free CLI and UI tool) to isolate user journeys (like looking up a specific username) and instantly generate waterfall tracing views. Whether you are working locally or in a Kubernetes cluster, you can record API traffic, visualize multi-hop requests, and easily transition those captures into load or regression tests.
