Create tests in Reflect directly from your coding agent!

Mar 30, 2026 By Prashant Mohan In SmartBear
If you’ve used Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or any coding agent, you already know the feeling. You describe what you want in plain language, the agent figures out the steps, and you watch it work. When something goes wrong, it backs up and tries a different approach. Reflect now brings that same agentic workflow to test automation. Through the SmartBear MCP server, any coding agent that supports MCP can connect to Reflect and build tests from high-level objectives.

Beyond the Dashboard: Using Telemetry to Solve the Unknown Unknowns of Performance

Mar 30, 2026 By Testhouse In Testhouse
Your dashboards are lying to you, not through bad data, but through incomplete data. They show you what you told them to watch. They cannot show you what you did not know to ask. Telemetry-driven performance engineering uses metrics, logs, traces and profiling to detect and diagnose issues that traditional dashboards cannot capture. The failures that hurt most are not the ones you predicted; they are the ones your monitoring was never designed to catch.

Real Device Access API - Product Demo

Mar 30, 2026 By Sauce Labs In Sauce Labs
Building Internal Developer Tools with a Device Lab API: Sessions, Streaming, Logs, and Automation For years, platform teams have had to choose between costly internal device labs for control or public clouds with limited access. That tradeoff ends with the Real Device Access API, the first solution to treat mobile devices as Infrastructure-as-Code—delivering direct, low-latency access to real devices without framework constraints. See how teams can retire internal racks while running any workflow on fully managed infrastructure they control programmatically.

The 4 Golden Signals of Monitoring Explained

Mar 27, 2026 By Kush Mansingh In Speedscale
As a team, we have spent many years troubleshooting performance problems in production systems. Applications have become so complex that you need a standard methodology to understand performance. Our approach to this problem is called the Golden Signals. By measuring these signals and paying very close attention to these four key metrics, providers can simplify even the most complex systems into an understandable corpus of services and systems.

What Is a Unified Quality Platform? Why Point Solutions Fail Enterprise Teams

Mar 27, 2026 By Huyen Nguyen In Katalon
Every engineering function has a system of record. Developers have GitHub. Product teams have Jira. Infrastructure has Datadog. Customer success has Salesforce. But ask a Head of QA where their single source of truth lives, and the answer is usually a pause, followed by "...it depends which tool you mean.".

The Observability Gap: Why Monitoring Data Should Drive Tests

Mar 26, 2026 By Matt LeRay In Speedscale
Most teams already know a lot about production. They have dashboards. They have traces. They have alerts. They have enough telemetry to explain what happened after an incident and enough graphs to argue about it for the rest of the week. Then they go to test a change and start from scratch. The integration tests hit a hand-written mock that returns {"status": "ok"}. The load tests replay a CSV somebody exported months ago. Staging is close enough to production right up until it matters.

Why Performance is the New Security in Open Banking (And Why Speed Defines Trust)

Mar 26, 2026 By Testhouse In Testhouse
Quick Answer Open Banking performance is as critical as security because slow API responses lead to transaction failures, user abandonment, and loss of trust. To ensure success, banks must optimise latency across API chains, monitor p95/p99 metrics, and design systems for speed from the start. Imagine a digital banking customer. Let’s call him David, standing at a crowded airport terminal. He’s trying to book a last-minute flight through a travel aggregator.
