We’ll always remember 2025 as the year AI code assistants went big. Copilot, Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, whatever. Developers went from mistrusting these tools, to being expected to turn over much of their coding labor to them. Even if, according to an extensive Stack Overflow survey, only 3 percent of professional developers say they ‘highly trust’ AI coding tools.

Do you know where your data is? The number of people who can pat their server and say fondly, “Right here!” is decreasing. Instead, more people are lifting their eyes to the heavens and answering, “Um… up there… somewhere…” McKinsey reports that in 2025, large enterprises have 60% of their environment in the cloud. If you’re considering moving your data assets, processes, and applications to the cloud, you’re in good company.

Most finance leaders are curious about AI—but hesitant to adopt it. The concern makes sense: what happens if automated systems pull the wrong data or miss critical details? Yet finance teams need some help. Teams are stretched thin. Reporting cycles are taking too long. When they’re relying on manual processes, they can’t keep pace with growth. Sound familiar? On a recent episode of the podcast “Don’t Panic!

If you’ve searched for a new home in the UK, or had a sneak peek at what your neighbour’s place sold for, there’s a high chance you’ve landed on Rightmove. In 2024 alone, its website and app combined were visited a staggering 2.3 billion times, making it the UK’s fourth most visited platform, just behind the BBC and the UK Government. Since launching in 2000, Rightmove has positioned itself as the go-to place for buying, selling or renting a property in the UK.

The updates we make to Perforce ALM are deeply influenced by the real-world challenges our users face. We understand that those who work in highly regulated industries need trustworthy tools that deliver precision, traceability, and efficiency. That’s why we plan each round of ALM enhancements based directly on user comments and suggestions. This quick guide will look at recent updates around tagging and filtering and how to leverage these features for a more intuitive and efficient user experience.

API gateways connect on-premises systems with cloud applications, managing tasks like authentication, traffic routing, and monitoring. Key Benefits: Centralized security to protect sensitive data. Reduced latency by processing requests closer to the data source. Simplified compliance for regulations like HIPAA and GDPR. Scalability and failover support for uninterrupted service. Setup Essentials: Secure connectivity using VPNs or dedicated links.

As coding has become more autonomous, so has code-based testing. AI agents can now write functions, generate code-based tests, and validate logic in the same workflow. But the other half of the testing equation, the system-level validation of non-code-based testing, hasn’t kept up. That disconnect is becoming one of the most critical constraints in modern software delivery.

For years, APIs have been designed with one primary audience in mind: developers. The focus has been on making APIs discoverable, consistent, and easy for humans to consume. But in the AI era, a new audience has arrived: AI agents. As detailed in SmartBear’s newly published AI-Enabled API Lifecycle Report, this shift demands that organizations rethink how APIs are designed, tested, and managed to serve both human developers and intelligent systems effectively.
