Automated testing vs. autonomous testing

Jun 25, 2026 By Rob McNeil In SmartBear
Autonomous testing is one of the most talked about developments in software quality right now. It shows up in analyst reports, vendor pitches, conference talks, and job descriptions – often in the same breath as automated testing. Most of those conversations treat the two as interchangeable, or worse, position autonomous testing as simply a smarter, more advanced version of what teams already do.

Why your automated UI tests keep breaking

Jun 25, 2026 By Rob McNeil In SmartBear
Automated test suites tend to follow the same arc. The suite works well until the application changes and a block of tests fails. Someone fixes them. The application changes again. At some point, the work of keeping tests current starts consuming the time that should go toward coverage decisions, risk assessment, and the testing work that requires human judgment.

Debug a Node.js Memory Leak in Minutes with AI-Powered Heap Snapshot Analysis

Jun 25, 2026 By Estefany Aguilar In NodeSource
Memory leaks are among the most frustrating production issues to investigate. At first, everything looks normal. Requests are processed successfully, users aren't reporting problems, and the application appears healthy. Then memory usage starts climbing. Garbage collection runs more frequently. Performance degrades. Eventually, the process becomes unstable or crashes altogether. Detecting a memory leak isn’t even half the battle.

Get Faster Test Plan Insights in Jira with Xray's Rovo Test Plan Summarizer

Jun 25, 2026 By Mariana Santos In Xray
Understanding the health of a Test Plan isn't always as straightforward as it sounds. A Test Plan may contain hundreds of Tests, multiple Test Executions, linked requirements, and defects spread across different areas of a project. The information teams need is usually there, but finding answers often means navigating through several screens, reviewing reports, and manually connecting the dots. Questions such as How much testing has been completed?, Are there any coverage gaps?

Your Vercel AI SDK app is missing a session layer

Jun 25, 2026 By Andrii Bulat In Ably
If you have built an AI chat feature with the Vercel AI SDK, you have used its useChat hook. You give it your messages, and it streams the reply into your UI. You may have seen our post on the custom transport we built for the Vercel AI SDK. It swaps useChat's default transport for Ably AI Transport, adding resumable streams, cross-device and multi-user sync, conversation branching, history compaction, and stop-and-approve controls.

Stop vs disconnect - why canceling AI streaming is harder than it looks

Jun 25, 2026 By Madeleine Quinn In Ably
You add a stop button to your AI chat app: a customer support agent, a coding assistant, a research tool the user can steer mid-task. A user clicks it mid-response. The frontend stops rendering. Then you check your backend logs and realize the underlying generation is still running, and you’re still paying for every token. This is not a bug.
