Katalon Named a G2 Leader in Test Management for Fall 2026

When a QA team outgrows a spreadsheet, the fix is rarely more spreadsheets. It is one place where test cases, execution history, defects, and approvals live together, so a release manager does not have to reconstruct who tested what from three different tools the night before a launch. G2's Fall 2026 reports put a number on how well Katalon does that.

Can AI Agents Safely Debug Production Node.js?

AI agents are getting remarkably good at fixing code. Give an agent a well-defined performance problem, enough runtime data, and access to the relevant codebase, and it can often trace the evidence back to a function, suggest an optimization, validate the change, and produce a useful patch. That workflow is no longer particularly difficult to imagine. In some cases, it is already practical. Production debugging, however, has never been only about fixing the code directly in front of you.

Best test management tools for Jira

Test libraries that once felt instant can become harder to manage as they grow: test cases take longer to open, reports take longer to build, and every sprint adds more data to an already bloated Jira environment. That’s usually the moment when a testing leader starts evaluating whether the test management tool installed years ago still fits the way the organization tests today. Your team has already decided to run testing inside Jira.

Handling Exceptions in Grape for Ruby: rescue_from and error!

Grape handles exceptions with rescue_from blocks declared on your API class: rescue_from :all catches every exception, while rescue_from ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound targets one class. Inside an endpoint, error!("Not Found", 404) halts with a formatted error, defaulting to status 500. Without a handler, invalid params return 400 and other exceptions bubble up to Rack. This guide covers Grape 3.3. Every response body, status code, and error message was verified on Grape 3.3.5, Rack 3.2.7, and Ruby 3.4.10.

Build Hub self-serve is live: bring us your slowest build

That's Nathan Hillyer, Director of Engineering at ForeFlight, on what happened after his team started running their GitHub Actions workflows on Bitrise Build Hub. Until last month, trying that for yourself meant talking to sales first. That’s fine for a 300-person engineering org evaluating a CI overhaul, but it made no sense for the two-pizza team that just wants to know whether changing one line of YAML will meaningfully speed up their Xcode builds. That's fixed.

AI Is Reopening the Build-versus-Buy Question in PropTech

For much of the past decade, the PropTech default was straightforward: buy the commodity software and reserve engineering capacity for what differentiated the product. AI-assisted development is moving that line, and the answer looks less obvious than it did two years ago. For the broader framework, including cost, integrations, vendor lock-in, data ownership, and long-term maintenance, see our guide to build vs buy real estate software.

What's Next for QA Careers? | Fireside Chat with Rahul Shetty

In this fireside chat, Rahul Shetty - one of the most widely followed test automation educators - explores how AI is reshaping testing careers, which QA roles and skills are gaining relevance, and what testers should focus on learning next. He also shares how AI is being used by real testing teams, what interview panels are looking for in 2026, and how testers can stay relevant as the industry evolves. A practical conversation on the future of QA, beyond the AI hype.

Ep 92 | Making AI Fluent in Your Business

Every new AI chat is another first day on the job. Rob Collie describes today’s general-purpose AI as a brilliant new hire who wakes up on their first day every time you start a new conversation. It may understand your industry, but your workflows and business context have to be explained all over again. In this episode of The AI Forecast, Paul Muller speaks with Rob Collie, founder and CEO of P3 Adaptive, former Microsoft product leader for Excel and Power BI, and author of “Fair Game: Bringing AI Into Reach for All Business” to explore why business context can make or break enterprise AI.
