Reaching Autonomous Software Quality | From the Bear Cave

AI has changed how software is written, but testing and quality haven’t kept up at the same pace. In the first episode of our "From the Bear Cave" discussion series, SmartBear CEO Dan Faulkner and VP of Product, AI, Bridges Smith talk through the Levels of Autonomy in software development, why non-code-based testing must become more autonomous, and what it will take to close the gap between AI coding and ensuring trustworthy software.

Digital Twins Gone Wild: My Unexpected AI Doppelgänger

I recently tried using AI to create a digital twin of myself. I uploaded a photo, expecting a futuristic, slightly improved version of me… and what did I get in return? A picture of Kim Jong Un. Clearly, AI has a sense of humor—or a very different definition of “twin.” Forget Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito.

API Automation Testing: A Practical Guide For 2026

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) power nearly every modern digital experience, from mobile apps and online payments to AI-driven services and real-time data processing. As software systems increasingly rely on microservices and distributed architectures, the number of API interactions continues to grow, making reliability and performance more critical than ever.

Streamline Code Testing with Proxymock

Tired of complex setups and running out of memory just to test one component? Learn how to use Proxymock (a FREE tool) to solve your biggest testing headache: component isolation! This demo shows you how to record and mock interactions across a complex React, Golang, and PostgreSQL stack, allowing you to find bugs before they ever hit production. In This Demo: This strategy lets you easily isolate components, simulate customer behavior, and ensure quality with lightning-fast local testing.

How to Test Your React Frontend When the Backend Is Offline #speedscale #frontend #backend #coding

Software development is hard, especially when you have to ensure every component works together; it's an integration maze! And running a full stack (like React, Go, and Postgres) on your dev machine often means one thing: running out of memory! The Fix: We'll show you how to use Proxymock to record your components, effectively letting you run the frontend (or any component) completely isolated.

Architecture Diagramming: From L0 to Ln - Simplifying for Every Audience #WordsUnplugged

Architecture diagrams are crucial, but the complexity of modern systems demands a better way to communicate. WSO2 CTO *Asanka Abeysinghe* and Lead Solutions Engineer *Erandi Ganepola* break down the L0-Ln Methodology—a simplified, level-based approach to visual abstraction. Watch our Words Unplugged video to discover how this scales from a team view to an organization-wide enterprise architecture, providing durable anchors (L0) and change-friendly details (L1-Ln) that evolve with the business.

From Zero to API in 10 Minutes | DreamFactory

A hands-on tutorial that takes you from nothing to a working REST API. No prior API experience required. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a working REST API with multiple endpoints. You'll understand HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and know how to test your API. You'll also see why teams often choose auto-generation over hand-coding for production APIs. Prerequisites: Node.js installed (v18+), a code editor, and basic terminal familiarity.

How to Test Your React Frontend When the Backend Is Offline

Picture this: You’ve spent hours perfecting your React component. The animations are smooth, the responsive design works flawlessly, and you’re ready to test the user flow. You click “Submit” and… nothing happens. Or worse, you get a cryptic CORS error. The problem? Your backend isn’t running. Again.
