We are happy to announce the general availability of Kong Mesh 1.0! Kong Mesh is Kong’s first enterprise service mesh built on top of Kuma and Envoy that organizations can use to deploy a modern mesh across every application — running on both Kubernetes and VMs — and on every cloud or data-center.
Exploratory testing helps you cover more untested code, discover new testing scenarios, and find hard to catch bugs which might go unnoticed when you initially drafted your test cases. Take advantage of exploratory testing with the new Xray Exploratory App and ensure the highest quality for your systems. Uncover hidden bugs, reach maximum code coverage and use the skills of testers to find errors.
k6 v0.27.0 is finally out! It has been over a year since the k6 team started working on this release, which includes a multitude of new features, improvements, bugfixes and beyond. This release was an effort to redefine performance and load-testing in k6, by introducing a new execution engine and lots of new executors on top, along with the most requested feature, scenarios. It also includes many UX improvements and bugfixes.
We are happy to announce the general availability of Kuma 0.7!

For a complete list of features and updates, take a look at the full changelog.
This third version of Kraken represents one more step towards a load testing solution suitable to teams and enterprises. Kraken can already be installed on your own Kubernetes cluster thanks to Helm charts: You own all data and can handle the security inhouse. But until now it was lacking users management, making it cumbersome to use it for a team of performance testers. This point is now addressed in the version 3.0 thanks to Keycloak.
If you write software for a living, you probably have a bias toward coded tests and against all things codeless. Most software engineers who become test engineers trust themselves to write well-designed structured code. Some people see record-and-playback as cheating, demeaning, or otherwise indicative of poor workmanship. Yet, research shows that test code maintenance costs correlate directly to the number of lines of written test code.
In Web UI testing, testers have to deal with increasing new page objects and changing identifiers when the web application grows. No matter if you are a manual or an automation tester, updating object locators for the Application Under Test (AUT) is a required step when changes are made. This helps ensure regression testing flows without friction and all key functionalities are not affected.
We’re excited to announce that we’ve strengthened our solution for Java Spring. Spring developers can now integrate Rollbar into their Java Spring Boot and Spring Web MVC applications even more quickly and easily. With our new SDK, instrumentation and getting real-time actionable error alerts takes just a few minutes. Spring has consistently been one of the most popular Java frameworks and we want to make sure we’re consistently offering the best possible solution for it.
