Stop Chasing Ghosts, Use Observability to Find Real Performance Gremlins

Performance testing without observability is like diagnosing a sick patient using only a thermometer. You get one number. You miss everything that matters. Observability-driven performance testing combines load testing with metrics, logs and distributed tracing to identify not just when performance degrades, but exactly why.

SAP testing is broken. Agentic AI is how we fix it.

Software testing has a bad rap for bottlenecks — and nowhere is that truer than in the SAP world. An overwhelming majority of SAP orgs continue to rely on manual testing practices that can consume up to 30% of implementation budgets, making QA out to be a persistent roadblock to transformation. To be fair to SAP QA teams, the issue is not as much about inefficiency as complexity.

Everything we announced at our Agentic Quality Engineering Platform launch

Over 1,000 people around the world tuned in as Tricentis CEO Kevin Thompson and VP of AI David Colwell unveiled our new integrated platform, followed by a live demo from Enterprise Solution Architect Matt Serpone. From our headquarters in Austin, Texas, we unveiled a unified solution designed to help enterprises treat quality as a coordinated system rather than a collection of disconnected tools.

What Breaking AI Applications Taught Us About Building Reliable Ones

The global industry is currently in a feverish rush to "AI-enhance" every facet of the digital landscape. However, a critical distinction has emerged: while building an AI-integrated application is relatively simple, engineering one that maintains operational integrity in a production environment represents a watershed moment for modern engineering teams. BugRaptors spent the last year inside the intricate internal logic and non-deterministic layers of AI application testin g.

Is OpenTelemetry overkill? There's a lazier (and better) way. #speedscale #sre #ebpf #kubernetes

If you "aspire to be lazy" like we do, you know that building staging environments and mocking complex back-ends (like MySQL, AI models, and 3rd party APIs) is a massive time sink. In this demo, we show you how to use Internet Magic (aka eBPF) to: Stay tuned for Part 2, where we take these recordings and spin up a staging environment automatically.

Healthcare CRM Software: A Complete Guide for Providers & Hospitals

Most of us can book a flight or order groceries in seconds with just a few taps on our phones. We’ve come to expect that same ease in every part of our lives, especially when it comes to our health. But for many patients, booking a simple doctor's visit still feels like a game of phone tag. While hospital staff are left juggling too many different systems just to get one person through the door.

AI test automation with full visibility | Qmetry + Reflect integration

In this demo, you’ll see how Reflect and QMetry work together to connect automated testing with test management. In this short walkthrough, test execution from Reflect flows directly into QMetry, giving your team better visibility, reducing manual effort, and helping you move faster without losing control of quality. If you’re looking to scale testing while keeping everything organized and traceable, this integration is built for you.

Turn test data into release insights with AI | SmartBear MCP for Zephyr

Testing teams need to know if they’re ready for a release. Getting answers within Jira, however, often means jumping between multiple screens and reports. In this demo, see how you can query your test data with SmartBear MCP for Zephyr to get insights directly from your testing system of record, so you can make faster, more informed release decisions. From within AI tools like Copilot, Claude, or VS Code, you’ll learn how you can.

AI Coding Agents Break What Works

Your AI coding agent just made every test pass. Ship it, right? Not so fast. A growing class of AI-generated bugs doesn’t come from writing bad code. It comes from the AI changing working code to accommodate its own mistakes. This isn’t a theoretical risk. It’s happening now, in production codebases, and it’s harder to catch than any bug the AI might introduce from scratch.
