The Developer's Guide to Debugging AI-Generated Code

AI coding tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and Claude have completely changed how we write software. From humble beginnings where non-AI-enabled code assistants made intelligent code suggestions, like Intellisense, the latest agentic tools can generate entire functions, suggest optimal algorithms, and even scaffold complete applications in minutes. However, as any developer who’s worked with AI-generated code knows, the output isn’t always perfect.

Online API Tester: Complete Guide to Testing APIs in 2025

When your application crashes during peak traffic or returns cryptic error messages to frustrated users, the culprit is often hiding in plain sight: untested APIs. According to recent industry data, APIs now account for 71% of all internet traffic, yet many businesses still treat API testing as an afterthought.

Selenium Click Link: Different Ways to Automate Link Clicks

Clicking links is one of the most basic things a user can do on a website. If you're writing test scripts, it’s also one of the most common actions you’ll need to automate. With Selenium WebDriver, you can interact with any hyperlink on the page, no matter if it's visible, hidden, dynamic, or opens in a new tab. All you need is the right locator and a clear understanding of how the browser responds.

MCP Server in Testing: What It Means for You

Teams use different tools in their software testing life cycle. The problem? Each tool has its own way of communicating. The MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server is a new approach to integrating these tools. It’s like a universal translator, so your testing tools, scripts, and AI copilots can share context without endless plugins or one-off integrations.

BugSnag Now Supports the Amazon Vega OS

BugSnag now supports applications built with the Vega Developer Tools from Amazon Devices & Services, giving developers immediate visibility into the stability of their TV-first apps. This launch is part of a deeper collaboration between SmartBear and Amazon, extending beyond tooling support into a broader partnership that accelerates software quality across the Amazon ecosystem.

How does a TCoE balance automation and manual testing to maximize efficiency?

A TCoE should automate the repeatable, detail-heavy regression checks to remove human error and speed releases, while keeping room for manual testing where judgment matters or ROI is low. Automate execution to free the team to focus on new functionality and high-value scripts, and leave fringe or one-off cases manual so effort pays off. — Parker Reguero, RVP of Sales at Katalon Learn more Follow Katalon for more insights in our series!

OctoPerf MCP Server

With the rapid rise of AI, the emergence of the MCP protocol reshaping human-machine collaboration, and testing tools like OctoPerf making their mark in the DevOps landscape, we’re clearly riding a new tech wave… and it’s got style. I wanted to dive into this project because it felt both fun and challenging. It was the perfect opportunity to explore what AI, the MCP protocol, and OctoPerf could really offer… and to see how far we could push the possibilities.

Protecting Sensitive Data in Non-Production Environments: No Trade-Offs Necessary!

Yes, you’ve heard it all before: the frequency of cyberattacks and their devastating aftermath, organizations’ gaps in protecting sensitive data, and the financial consequences of not complying with GDPR and the likes. I am not here to share any old news. But there is a risk that is not discussed frequently enough in the news. And it should be. How often do you suppose data in non-production environments is compromised or fails compliance audits?

Synthetic Test Data vs. Test Data Masking: How to Use Both

To use synthetic test data or to use test data masking — that is the question. But the answer may not be what you expect. Before we dive into that, what’s happening in today’s business landscape that’s prompting the question around synthetic vs. masking? Delivering high-quality applications at lightning speed is expected in today’s CI/CD world. Fast time-to-market is at odds with security and compliance requirements.
