Engineering the Path to Autonomous Quality

AI has rewritten the rules of software development. Developers can now generate, fix, and ship code in seconds. This is transformative, but as shared by SmartBear CEO Dan Faulkner, “The tools that help us build software are advancing much faster than the tools that ensure we can trust it.” For software quality to keep up with AI coding, today’s tools must evolve to remain effective. SmartBear is answering this call.

Automating PDF Testing: From Manual Checks to Comprehensive Validation

PDF documents play a critical role in various industries, serving as the final output for customer-facing documents such as invoices, contracts, and compliance reports. However, testing these documents poses significant challenges due to their complex nature, which includes mixed content, dynamic data, and strict formatting requirements. Manual testing of PDFs is not only time-consuming but also prone to human error, making automation an essential component of a robust testing strategy.

Seamless SSO: How to Integrate Okta (SAML 2.0) with DreamFactory

In today’s environment of distributed applications and microservices, unified identity and access management are essential. If you’re working with DreamFactory as your API-platform and want to leverage Okta for Single-Sign-On (SSO) via SAML 2.0, you’re in the right place. This post walks you through setting up Okta as your Identity Provider (IdP) and DreamFactory as your Service Provider (SP) for SAML 2.0-based login.

Better integration tests in Cursor using proxymock

Cursor is fantastic at cranking out code changes. I recently used it to splice a brand-new downstream API call into one of our Go microservices, and the diff looked great. The unit tests finished before I lifted my coffee mug, yet I still had zero certainty the change would survive contact with real traffic. That gap is all about integration tests, so I paired Cursor with proxymock and the outerspace-go demo service to prove the behavior end to end.

How To Use Coverlet Coverage For Improved Code Quality In Testing?

Have you ever considered how well-tested your.NET code simply is? Many teams feel their test suite is complete until a bug makes its way into production. The hard part is not just writing tests, but determining if tests cover critical paths. When using standard coverage tools, coverage can seem convoluted and unrelated to how you write code. This is where Coverlet coverage comes in – a simple to use, open source library for measuring test file coverage, and improving test coverage.

AI wrote the code, but can you trust it? #aicoding #integration #cursor #devops #speedscale

Using AI coding tools like Cursor is fast, but it leaves a massive question: Is the new code going to break production? We solve this by combining Cursor with Proxymock! I take a live traffic snapshot of my running app, feed it back to the AI, and instantly run realistic integration tests locally. It's the only way to get true confidence before you push.

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2025: Recap

Hi everyone, my name is Bailey Ahrens, and I’m a marketing intern at Speedscale! I just returned a few days ago from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025. While it was only my second trade show, it felt like a huge step forward in my confidence, skills, and future direction. My first conference (API World) was all about stepping outside my comfort zone. KubeCon was where I started leaning into that confidence and finding my place in the tech community.
