Tricentis Webinar Series: What customers are saying about Agentic Performance Testing

As Tricentis customers continue to adopt Agentic Performance Testing, Product Marketing Manager Jason Secola sat down with APT's product manager, Twan Koot, to discuss how customers are making use of its agentic capabilities. Here, he shares customer feedback. Key highlights.

AI-Powered Digital Front Door: How AI Improves Patient Access and Intake (2026)

The digital front door is moving beyond portals, online forms, and basic appointment booking. In 2026, AI is making patient access more responsive by helping patients find the right provider, schedule care, verify coverage, complete intake, and prepare for visits through connected digital workflows. The shift comes as healthcare organizations move AI from experimentation into real operations.

Validating Infrastructure Auto-Scaling with Load Testing

Load testing is essential for validating infrastructure auto-scaling policies before deployment. Skipping this step can result in resource wastage or bottlenecks. In a recent case study, simulating traffic spikes in a controlled environment enabled teams to reduce response times and lower server costs.

Test Your MySQL 8.4 Upgrade With Real App Queries

Before you start, paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Kiro, or any assistant that can read a URL and run commands: The install-speedscale skill installs proxymock for your operating system and walks you through proxymock init. It stops when you need to complete browser sign-in, keeps your recordings on your machine, and connects the proxymock MCP server so your assistant can run the prompts later in this article.

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.

From Bug Counters to Risk Officers | Rupernita Sahoo

In this fireside chat, Rupernita Sahoo explore the fundamental shift taking place in software quality assurance. Executive teams no longer want traditional defect counts - they want QA leaders to quantify business risk, security posture, and compliance. However, many QA organizations, legacy tools, and success metrics are still anchored in the past. This fireside chat explores how QA leaders can navigate this transition while maintaining strong operational delivery and driving greater business impact.

5 Test Management Tools to Evaluate in 2026

Software testing is becoming increasingly complex. Modern engineering teams are expected to release faster, support continuous delivery, manage larger test suites, and maintain quality across web, mobile, API, and AI-driven applications. That is where test management tools come in. In 2026, test management is no longer limited to storing test cases and tracking pass/fail results.

Engineering Reliability: Continuous Pipeline Strategy for AI Model Validation

When an enterprise moves an AI system from a local staging environment to a live production cluster, standard testing metrics often break down. A pipeline that achieves excellent accuracy on static test sets can easily fail when exposed to real-world user data, changing context windows, or minor updates in third-party model APIs. For quality assurance leaders, maintaining software reliability requires moving past manual evaluations and building automated validation pipelines.

Test PostgreSQL With the Queries Your App Actually Runs

The first number from my local PostgreSQL 16 test was roughly 1,600 statements per second. It looked impressive. It was also the least useful result in the run. The useful part was the workload. It came from queries the demo app had actually sent: the same prepared statements, parameters, reads and writes. A synthetic benchmark tells you how PostgreSQL handles a synthetic workload. It does not tell you whether your migration just broke the UPDATE your app depends on.

$4.48 a Gallon: Your Holiday Checkout Is the New Mall

Remember when “going shopping” meant getting in the car? This fall, filling the tank feels like applying for a small loan. U.S. regular gasoline averaged about $4.48 a gallon for the week of September 21, 2026. A round trip to the store starts competing with free shipping. And free shipping never needs a parking spot. That doesn’t tell us how many shoppers will move online this holiday season.
