Watch: Using generative AI for test automation in Rainforest [Video]

We’ve integrated generative AI features deeply into our no-code test automation platform, Rainforest QA. Each of these features is designed to help you avoid the time-consuming and otherwise annoying work of keeping automated test suites up to date — so your software development team can stay focused on shipping, fast. In this video, our CEO, Fred Stevens-Smith, walks through what some of these genAI features look like in action.

Fueling Enterprise Generative AI with Data: The Cornerstone of Differentiation

More than two-thirds of companies are currently using Generative AI (GenAI) models, such as large language models (LLMs), which can understand and generate human-like text, images, video, music, and even code. However, the true power of these models lies in their ability to adapt to an enterprise’s unique context. By leveraging an organization’s proprietary data, GenAI models can produce highly relevant and customized outputs that align with the business’s specific needs and objectives.

Next-Gen Customer Loyalty Programs with Data Streaming

Buy 10 sandwiches, get 1 free. Classic punch cards (and fishing for them in your wallet or occasionally misplacing one) have become a thing of the past, as today's digital landscape demands more innovative solutions. Today’s customer loyalty programs are increasingly sophisticated—evolving, proliferating, and diversifying across every industry from retail, travel, and hospitality to healthcare (e.g., a discount for paying within 30 days of a hospital visit).

Snowflake ML Now Supports Expanded MLOps Capabilities for Streamlined Management of Features and Models

Bringing machine learning (ML) models into production is often hindered by fragmented MLOps processes that are difficult to scale with the underlying data. Many enterprises stitch together a complex mix of various MLOps tools to build an end-to-end ML pipeline. The friction of having to set up and manage separate environments for features and models creates operational complexity that can be costly to maintain and difficult to use.

Advanced Dependency Injection in Elixir with Rewire

In our last post, we explored how Dependency Injection (DI) is a powerful design pattern that can improve our ExUnit tests. In this article, we will dive deeper into the topic of DI in Elixir, focusing on the Rewire library for Elixir projects. We will cover Rewire's core concepts, how to get started with it, and practical examples. We will also see how to use Rewire alongside Mox. Let's get started!

Api Integration - Importance And Best Practices

In today’s digital world, applications need to communicate with each other to provide users with seamless experiences. This communication is often made possible through APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). API integration is a process where different software systems are connected using APIs, allowing them to share data and functionalities. Let’s delve deeper into what API integration is, how it works, and why it’s crucial for modern software development.

How to Use Flink SQL, Streamlit, and Kafka: Part 2

In part one of this series, we walked through how to use Streamlit, Apache Kafka, and Apache Flink to create a live data-driven user interface for a market data application to select a stock (e.g., SPY) and discussed the structure of the app at a high level. First, data with information on stock bid prices is moved via an Alpaca websocket, then, it’s produced to a Kafka topic in Confluent Cloud where it is also processed with Flink SQL.

Achieving Zero Trust on VMs with Universal Mesh

Two of the main tenets of Zero Trust are encryption between services and managing the connections each service is allowed to use. Achieving this generally falls to running a service mesh in a Kubernetes cluster. Refactoring applications to run properly in Kubernetes takes time and considerable investment. For many organizations, running their applications on virtual machines will be a necessity for years to come. However, this doesn't mean security should fall behind.
