Engineering leaders usually outsource quality assurance (QA) to a software testing service to reduce developer workload, accelerate releases, and avoid the complexity of in-house QA teams. However, many engineering leaders mistakenly assume outsourcing automatically solves test creation and maintenance burdens and guarantees faster shipping. In reality, choosing the wrong service can exacerbate these problems.

It's 2025, you can build a full-stack app by telling an AI what you want. Inspired by projects and tools like v0, Create, Replit, and Same, Neon built app.build: an open-source AI agent that builds and deploys full-stack web apps, straight from your terminal. Built for developers, app.build is local-first, extensible, and fully open source.

Frontend coding has been transformed by JavaScript frameworks for more than a decade, with developers leaning on the robust tools to create interactive, responsive web applications. The advent of single-page applications and demand for improved user experiences have rendered frameworks indispensable in contemporary web development. In this detailed guide, we’ll delve deeply into the two most used frontend frameworks: Angular and React.

Extend your data pipelines to custom tools, niche systems, and internal APIs.

On April 16, the White House issued a clear directive to federal agencies: Stop building what you can buy. Reinstating that proven commercial software should be agencies’ first choice, and custom software should only be an option when no other options can meet the need.

Anyone who has tried to build a recommendation engine or a churn predictor knows the moment the excitement fades. The prototype looks good in the notebook, but the training data contains typos, half-missing properties, and events that somehow morphed between different devices. The model stumbles, engineers lose faith, and everyone wonders where all that AI magic went.

This benchmark report provides a side-by-side comparison of Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro and OpenAI’s o1 models in AI-driven software testing. Across both unit test generation (UTG) and API test generation (ATG), Gemini 2.5 Pro demonstrated clear superiority in key areas. In summary, Gemini 2.5 Pro outperformed OpenAI o1 by: OpenAI’s o1 model had strengths in smaller-scale applications, but overall it generated shallower tests and struggled to match Gemini on complex projects.

Doing things manually on GitLab is okay, but it can get repetitive and time-consuming. That’s where the GitLab Python API comes to the rescue! With it, you can automate tasks like creating projects, branches, or merge requests using just a few lines of Python code. It’s incredibly handy for DevOps, scripting, or personal projects! In this blog, we’ll dive into setting up and using the GitLab Python API step by step.

In less than three years, gen AI has become a staple technology in the business world. In November of 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT, with explosive growth of over 1 million users in just five days, galvanizing the widespread use of gen AI. Over the course of 2023 enterprises entered the experimentation stage and kicked off POCs with API services and open models including Llama 2, Mistral, NVIDIA and others.

CORS errors can be a frustrating roadblock during API testing - but they’re fixable. These errors happen when your web app tries to access resources from another domain without proper permissions. Here’s how to tackle them step by step.
