The best GitHub Actions runners in 2026 (and hidden pricing traps to avoid)

GitHub Actions is the default CI/CD tool for most teams. The runners underneath it, the actual machines your jobs run on, are where the pain shows up. Standard GitHub-hosted runners are slow for heavy repos and complex workflows. The faster ones are gated behind Team and Enterprise plans. GitHub Actions pricing is also notoriously hard to understand, especially for macOS.

Mobile test recording just got a lot less painful (Studio 11.4) #Katalon #MobileTesting #QA

Mobile Recorder Interactive Mode is now official in Katalon Studio 11.4. Interact directly on the device view and Studio reflects exactly what you're doing. Select an object in Device View, and your test steps follow that selection automatically. We've also improved the action flow so common recorder tasks feel more natural inside your session. Less guesswork. Faster mobile testing. Tell us in the comments which feature you want covered in next month's update.

Android App Crashes: Causes, Diagnosis, and Fixes

Android app crashes are a nightmare for developers. But they rarely come out of the blue. Most crashes stem from structural causes like leaky memory or sloppy resource management, and most failures will have a root cause that surfaces in either logcat or the stack trace. This post will give you a true Android crash course, showing you the tell-tale signs and the tried-and-tested fixes that work across devices, territories and app utilities.

AI Debugging: How to Use AI to Find and Fix Bugs Faster

At its simplest, AI debugging automates repetitive coding tasks like searching logs, reading stack traces and comparing sessions. But good AI debugging is a much more challenging concept that relies on focused context, runtime evidence and structured investigation paths. In this post we’ll show you how to debug with AI, not just productively but also responsibly. Let’s get into it.

How can AI agents reduce operational costs throughout the organization?

‍ Every CFO has looked at the headcount report and asked the same question. Why does it take twelve people and four tools to do something that feels, on paper, like it should take three? The honest answer is usually not laziness or bloat. It is a coordination tax. Someone has to read an email, decide what it means, open three other systems to check context, type a response, update a tracker, and notify two other teams. None of that is hard work.

The Next Enterprise Cloud Is Built for Small Software

The most useful piece of software we came across last quarter never left someone's laptop. An operations lead at one of our enterprise clients built herself an inventory reconciliation dashboard. No ticket, no sprint, no engineer involved. She described the workflow to an AI agent one evening and had something working by the next morning. A problem her team had been raising for over a year, solved by someone who has never written production code in her life.

MCP Debugging: How to Fix Broken MCP Servers and Tools

Model Context Protocol allows AI models like Claude to communicate with the outside world. But MCP debugging has been one of our steepest learning curves at Bugfender. Several different layers need to work together at the same time and if one thing breaks, it can scupper the whole workflow. That’s why we’re here today. To pass on hard-won knowledge, so you can jump the curve.
