It is hard to imagine a time not long ago where AI has not been front and centre of our everyday news, let alone in the software engineering world? The advent of LLMs coupled with the existing compute power catapulted the use of AI in our everyday lives and in particular so in the life of a software engineer. This article breaks down some of the use cases of AI in software engineering and suggests a path to investigate the key question: Did we actually become more productive?

Java developers love JUnit for its simplicity and power in unit testing. As a trusted testing framework, JUnit has become the backbone of many testing strategies. But with the rise of lightweight and flexible editors like Visual Studio Code (VS Code), many developers wonder how to effectively integrate JUnit into this environment. This guide will show you step-by-step how to set up JUnit on VS Code, ensuring you can write, run, and debug your tests effortlessly.

Imagine a customer who is about to buy some more things, but their cart is already full of products, so they go to checkout. Every process is done but when it comes to payment, it fails! After that, the customer got frustrated and left the cart. By this example, you may understand that every customer needs a smooth payment experience. A small glitch can cost businesses customers and revenue. Payment gateways connect buyers and sellers to make secure payments and transactions.

As our cities grow, heavy construction and expansion are putting a significant strain on the environment. Currently, urban areas contribute around 70% of global carbon emissions and consume over 60% of the world’s resources. This means real estate has a big opportunity — and responsibility — to lead the way toward a sustainable future. But how? A vital tool in this effort is Software as a Service (SaaS).

Ensure your apps are accessible for your users and to follow compliance. Cypress has emerged as a powerful tool to make sure web applications meet rigorous quality standards, learn more in this article.

AI is proving that it’s here to stay. While 2023 brought wonder and 2024 saw widespread experimentation, 2025 will be the year that the public sector gets serious about AI's applications. But it’s complicated: AI proofs of concept are graduating from the sandbox to production, just as some of AI’s biggest cheerleaders are turning a bit dour.

Product-led growth hinges on delivering exceptional user experiences. If you build a great product with valuable features, users are bound to come and stick to your services. But companies often neglect the role of APIs. Modern software relies heavily on APIs for integrations, automation, and data exchange. Not to mention, for API or API-first products, APIs drive the most crucial pieces of success goals. A poorly performing API creates friction, frustrates users, and impedes growth.

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are the backbone of organizational cybersecurity, responsible for detecting, investigating, and responding to threats in real-time. Yet, the increasing complexity and volume of cyber threats present significant challenges. SOC teams often grapple with alert fatigue, skill shortages, and time-consuming processes.

Digital transformation is no longer optional—it’s essential for staying competitive, driving value, and meeting evolving customer expectations. As Brian Solis puts it, “Digital transformation is to change the way you compete, how you create value, and how you can use digital tools and technology to be relevant as the world continues to evolve.” Organizations worldwide are taking this to heart, with spending on digital transformation expected to hit $3.9 trillion by 2027.
