Cloud vs On-Premise Load Testing: 2026 Guide

Choosing between cloud-based and on-premise load testing solutions is a strategic decision in performance assurance. Picture cloud load testing as casting a wide net – covering broad territory and adapting to changing conditions. On-premise is more like fishing with a spear, offering precise control but with limited reach.

Self-Driving Regression Testing with AI Agents | Somu Suryanarayanan

This session looks at how agentic automation can take over web and mobile regression. We start with the regression tax: the slow 3-day cycle, the manual triage, and the flaky reruns nobody trusts. We then cover why scripted suites hit a wall and make the case for handing regression to agents instead. The core of the talk is how it actually works, with Appium MCP driving mobile and Playwright MCP driving web, interpreting intent rather than hard-coded steps and adapting when the UI shifts.

AI Is Changing How We Code - But What About the Data Behind It? | Innovation Blueprint

How is AI changing software development — and what happens when AI-generated code meets real-world data? In this clip from The Innovation Blueprint Podcast, Roman Havrylyuk from ORIL and Bob Frady, Co-Founder of PropertyLens, disscuss how AI is changing the way teams write code, work with data, and make business decisions — and why better AI capabilities don’t eliminate the need for strong engineering and data foundations.

Control how much autonomy your AI testing agents have | SmartBear BearQ

Can you trust AI agents to run your tests without losing control of your release process? In this video, you’ll learn how, with SmartBear BearQ’s agentic QA system, the answer is yes, because you decide exactly how much autonomy the agents get. This enables you to adapt QA to fast-moving AI codebases, all with human oversight.

Can AI Agents Safely Debug Production Node.js?

AI agents are getting remarkably good at fixing code. Give an agent a well-defined performance problem, enough runtime data, and access to the relevant codebase, and it can often trace the evidence back to a function, suggest an optimization, validate the change, and produce a useful patch. That workflow is no longer particularly difficult to imagine. In some cases, it is already practical. Production debugging, however, has never been only about fixing the code directly in front of you.

A breakdown of the three potential ways software engineers will interact with AI coding assistants, ranging from local desktop setups to fully automated software delivery factories. Learn more: speedscale.com.

Build Hub self-serve is live: bring us your slowest build

That's Nathan Hillyer, Director of Engineering at ForeFlight, on what happened after his team started running their GitHub Actions workflows on Bitrise Build Hub. Until last month, trying that for yourself meant talking to sales first. That’s fine for a 300-person engineering org evaluating a CI overhaul, but it made no sense for the two-pizza team that just wants to know whether changing one line of YAML will meaningfully speed up their Xcode builds. That's fixed.

AI Is Reopening the Build-versus-Buy Question in PropTech

For much of the past decade, the PropTech default was straightforward: buy the commodity software and reserve engineering capacity for what differentiated the product. AI-assisted development is moving that line, and the answer looks less obvious than it did two years ago. For the broader framework, including cost, integrations, vendor lock-in, data ownership, and long-term maintenance, see our guide to build vs buy real estate software.

Ep 92 | Making AI Fluent in Your Business

Every new AI chat is another first day on the job. Rob Collie describes today’s general-purpose AI as a brilliant new hire who wakes up on their first day every time you start a new conversation. It may understand your industry, but your workflows and business context have to be explained all over again. In this episode of The AI Forecast, Paul Muller speaks with Rob Collie, founder and CEO of P3 Adaptive, former Microsoft product leader for Excel and Power BI, and author of “Fair Game: Bringing AI Into Reach for All Business” to explore why business context can make or break enterprise AI.
