AI can now handle the slowest parts of test management, inside Jira. – The Zephyr Agent for Rovo creates test cases and links them to your work items, in the projects where your team already plans and builds. This guide covers how testing is changing in the AI age, what the agent is, where to find it, and how to run your first task.

APIs are the backbone of modern software. They connect microservices, power mobile experiences, and make integrations possible across industries. For all their importance, API testing remains one of the most fragmented, manual, and maintenance-heavy parts of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). So as development accelerates in an AI-disrupted SDLC, application integrity – continuous, measurable assurance that your software just works as intended – becomes harder to maintain, not easier.

Claude Code shipped workflows: reusable, versioned instructions an agent can follow instead of improvising a process from scratch each time. We used that feature to hand Claude Code our entire QA job. Not "write a test case." The whole loop: read the requirement, design the coverage, run it on the platform, file the defect, report back with evidence. The kind of work a QE does in a day, compressed into one skill triggered with a sentence.

Ask a Marketing Lead how the quarterly plan actually gets built. Not the strategy, the mechanics. The answer, in most teams, is a spreadsheet: spend pulled from five ad platforms with five different backends, pipeline exported from the CRM, last quarter’s numbers copied from a deck, targets negotiated in a separate thread. One customer described their version of it to us in a sentence that needs no editing.

Shopify’s MCP servers give Claude real command of your store, from storefront conversations to bulk product updates. Analytics is the one job they were never built for, and pairing them with Databox MCP closes that gap.

Implementing a PXM solution provides numerous benefits to your organization, from improving efficiency to increasing sales, reducing returns, and promoting customer loyalty. Today, we’re going to explore these benefits in more detail. Interested in the distinctions between PIM and PXM? See our breakdown of how they differ (but are also similar) here.

Ask an AI for K-pop concert advice without saying the group, city, date, or budget. It may confidently send you to a BLACKPINK tribute night in Cleveland with a $400 resale ticket. The AI was plenty confident. It just had nothing real to go on. That is exactly what happens when developers test AI applications with invented traffic. The test may look reasonable. The result may even pass.

For years, the mandate for System Integrators (SIs) was clear: lead the "cloud-first" migration. The promise was lower costs, greater agility, and seamless innovation. But for many enterprise customers, that promise remains unfulfilled. Instead of agility, organizations have inherited a complex, fragmented data estate. Data is siloed across on-premises legacy systems and multiple public clouds, creating governance headaches and inflating infrastructure costs.

June's releases share one thread: less setup between what you already know and a working test. Production Insights can turn a single real user session into a test case without a full Journey Map first. Katalon AI Assistant now reads the docs and boards your team already works in, shows its reasoning as it goes, and reaches apps your CI never could. Test management got safer to run at scale, with version history, ALM sync, and encrypted secrets. Here's everything that shipped.

Most data stacks weren’t built for AI agents. Take the ODI Assessment to find out if yours is ready.
