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.

Key Takeaways: Gherkin acceptance criteria transform user stories into executable specifications that bridge technical and business teams. Writing gherkin acceptance criteria has become essential for modern software development teams seeking to bridge the communication gap between business stakeholders and technical teams. The 2024 World Quality Report shows that over 60% of agile teams have adopted BDD practices to enhance collaboration and ensure software behaviors align with user needs.

The rise of intelligent agents and AI prompts is transforming APIs from mere infrastructure into the capability ecosystem of the agentic era, driving a new model of ecosystem-led growth. To prepare for the inevitable explosion of agent-driven API traffic, enterprises are prioritizing a strategic approach to API governance, developer experience, and scalable infrastructure.

AI’s impact on quality engineering has been widely discussed, with some predicting a crisis for software testers. The more dire forecasts have narrowed in on the junior tester, as some anticipate that AI’s ability to perform routine tasks will eliminate entry-level roles. As Tricentis has explored, AI will not replace junior testers but will rather remake their jobs, enabling them to engage in strategic work earlier in their careers. But what about the senior tester?

OAuth 2.0 is an industry-standard authorization framework that enables applications to obtain limited access to user accounts on third-party services without exposing passwords. When implemented as an authentication mechanism, OAuth provides secure single sign-on capabilities. GitHub OAuth offers several advantages as an identity provider.

In 2025 we focused on a simple but ambitious goal: making debugging faster, less fragmented and less manual. Check out all our releases to make that possible. 2025 was a defining year for Multiplayer. We focused on a simple but ambitious goal: making debugging faster, less fragmented and less manual. That meant meeting developers where they were already working and capturing the right context at the right time.

The biggest trend in software quality? It’s not AI but the organizational failure to recognize testing as a value driver.

Refresh the page, lose signal, switch tabs - the AI conversation just keeps going. That’s what reliable, resumable token streaming makes possible. No restarts, no lost context, just the same response picking up right where it left off. It keeps users in flow and builds trust, making conversations feel seamless. Even better, it unlocks things like switching devices mid-stream without missing a beat.

When recognition comes directly from customers, it feels different. I am very proud that Qlik has been named a Customers’ Choice in the 2025 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms. This is the second year in a row that Qlik has received this distinction. It is based entirely on feedback and reviews from verified users of Qlik solutions around the world.

TL;DR: We created Remote Execution and Computer Use APIs for macOS, packaged them as a MCP server, and now your AI assistant can spin up Virtual Machines (VMs), run shell commands, transfer files, and even click around the Graphic User Interface (GUI). It's a prototype. It's a bit wild. We'd love to know what you'd build with it.
