The Truth About End-to-End Testing Explained #softwaretesting #endtoendtesting #devops #qualitytest

End-to-end (E2E) testing brings your entire system together in a staging or UAT environment to test real user paths and ensure core functions work as expected. However, because E2E tests are non-comprehensive and miss edge cases, they must be combined with other testing methodologies. Learn more: speedscale.com.

AI Governance Auditing: Testing, Traceability, and Regulatory Compliance

Historically, software deployment depended on deterministic criteria where test execution confirmed adherence to rigid functional requirements. Passing pre-release staging gates served as a reliable proxy for operational stability and corporate safety. Today’s artificial intelligence implementations challenge this fundamental paradigm.

AI Observability Starts Where API Observability Stops

Every request returned 200 OK, the task still failed. This is the problem in one sentence. A single user intent now fans out into multiple model calls, tool invocations, MCP (Model Context Protocol) interactions, policy executions, retries, and agent handoffs. Each call can look healthy on its own while the task as a whole hallucinates, times out, or quietly drains your budget. Request-level monitoring can't tell you which, because the answer isn't in any single request.

Introducing AI Management in Kong Konnect

Agents are moving from demos into production, and the platform teams running them keep hitting the same four problems: spend nobody can attribute, credentials that security cannot manage, enterprise APIs rewrapped as agent tools team by team, and no single view of what an agent actually did. Today we are introducing AI Management in Kong Konnect, a set of capabilities that answer those four problems in one control plane. Agent spend grows quietly.

Kong in 5: AI Gateway 2.0 on Kubernetes

Kong AI Gateway 2.0 can be installed on Kubernetes in about five minutes using Kong Operator, Helm, and a self-managed control plane in Konnect. This walkthrough starts with a two-node cluster, creates a new AI Gateway in the Konnect UI, and installs Kong Operator with Helm. It then generates a personal access token, applies the API auth secret, and deploys the data plane through custom resources. You’ll see how to configure replicas, image, and load balancer ports in the YAML. This is the first video in the Kong in 5 series for Kong customers and users.
