The AI Code Verification Crisis: Meet AURA, the Platform Built to Solve It

AI didn't remove the release bottleneck, it moved it downstream. Code volume exploded, verification didn't. The old QA model isn't broken, it's outgrown: 80% of engineering teams have already traced a production incident to AI-generated code. AURA is Sauce Labs' answer, the only full-lifecycle release assurance platform built to close the gap. It continuously verifies every release against business intent, authoring, running, and regenerating tests in an autonomous learning loop, with humans in control.

Migrating a LoadRunner Script to OctoPerf With an AI Agent

A VuGen script is C. Some scripts are a recorded journey with helpers around it, others are a framework that happens to send a few requests. OctoPerf 17 ships a LoadRunner migration playbook for AI agents whose first job is to tell you which one you have. Real prompts, real output, script downloadable. Target: JPetStore, our public MyBatis demo shop. Every step is reproducible. One Action.c, HTTP recording level, eight transactions walking a purchase. Around them: It replays green in VuGen.

From 10 Days to Hours: How Delta Financial Systems cut regression testing time with SeaLights

Jamie Avery, Head of Development at Delta Financial Systems, explains how his team moved from multi-day regression cycles to same-day releases, without compromising quality in a highly regulated pensions environment.

Healthcare Interoperability Solutions: Types, Approaches, and How to Choose (2026)

Healthcare interoperability solutions enable secure data exchange between EHRs, payers, laboratories, devices, and patient applications. Zymr's healthcare engineering teams work across all of these categories, which is where the framework below comes from. These solutions use standards such as HL7 FHIR to structure data and support API-based integration.

Migrating a NeoLoad Project to OctoPerf With an AI Agent

Migrating a load testing project is rarely hard. It is long, and easy to abandon halfway. OctoPerf 17 ships a NeoLoad migration playbook for AI agents. Real prompts, real output, project downloadable. Target: JPetStore, our public MyBatis demo shop. Every step is reproducible. One User Path, split Init / Actions / End, six containers walking a purchase. Around them: Download it to follow along.

OctoPerf v17: A New Foundation for Test Results

OctoPerf 17.0.0 is available, on the SaaS platform and for On-Premise installations. It rebuilds how test results are stored and read, upgrades Playwright, and considerably extends what an AI agent can do through the OctoPerf MCP server. One thing to know before you upgrade. A result recorded before this version must be updated before its report shows data again. Nothing is lost, and the update runs on its own the first time you open the report.

How We Use AI to Smoke Test True Production Insights

Every testing vendor says "AI-powered" now. Fewer of them can show you the actual verification pipeline underneath that claim: what gets checked, what gets trusted without checking, and what happens the moment something breaks. This is that pipeline, as I run it against True Production Insights, formerly known as TrueTest, every time we ship a change to it.

What Is Playwright? A Comprehensive Guide to Modern Testing

Playwright has gone from a browser automation library most QA teams had never heard of to one of the most-searched testing frameworks in the industry, and interest keeps climbing. If you're evaluating it for your team, comparing it to Selenium or Cypress, or just trying to understand what the interest is about, this guide covers the fundamentals: what Playwright actually is, how it works, what it's used for, and where to go next once you're ready to dig into best practices. THE SHORT ANSWER.

Playwright Best Practices: A Practical Guide to Reliable Test Automation

Playwright makes it easy to get a test running quickly. It's harder to keep a whole suite of Playwright tests reliable six months later, once your app has changed, your team has grown, and nobody quite remembers why a particular test is flaky three days a week. If you're new to Playwright, our guide to what Playwright is and how it works is a good place to start first.
