Jul 21, 2025 By Tricentis In Tricentis

Let’s say you’re renovating a house. It’s a big project, and you’ll need a lot of planning, expertise, and equipment. Now imagine you live in a world where the hammers you bought at one store don’t match up with the nails you bought at another, and certain wrenches wouldn’t work on anything but the parts they came with. What a pain, right?

We Stayed Up When AWS Went Down

Jul 21, 2025 By Perforce In Perforce

Amazon Web Services (AWS) had a well-documented failure of the S3 service in its US East region this week.

Overall Amazon provides an outstanding set of services, and as anyone knows these things happen, the key is to architect your solution so that it can tolerate these kinds of failures.

What is an API first approach?

Jul 21, 2025 By SmartBear In SmartBear

APIs already account for 71% of all internet traffic, but here's what most companies are missing: AI is about to become the biggest API consumer ever. As generative AI transforms how we interact with software, agentic workflows will perform automated, API-heavy interactions on our behalf. Companies that embrace an API-first approach now will dominate tomorrow's AI economy. In this video Frank Kilcommins, Principal API Technical Evangelist at SmartBear, explains what it means for a software development organization to be API-first.

What Is Spiral Model In Software Engineering?

Jul 21, 2025 By Jiya Bhati In Keploy

Would you believe me if I say there is a development methodology that considers changing requirements and technical risks as part of the process instead of obstacles to be overcome? Sounds crazy, right? That’s exactly what I thought about the Spiral Model until I took a closer look. I’m not saying it’s perfect for every project or that we should all use it. But for certain types of projects, the messy, uncertain, high-stakes ones, it may be just what you need!

From Flaky to Reliable: How QMetry Keeps Your Pipeline Clean

Jul 21, 2025 By Klaudia Makiej In SmartBear

Not every failure is a bug and not every bug is what it seems. Sometimes, a test fails without warning. No code changes, no environment issues, just a red mark where there should be green. You rerun it, and it passes. These are flaky tests. And they do more than create noise. They drain team time, stall releases, and make it harder to trust automation at all. Left unchecked, they quietly become one of the most expensive problems in testing.

How to Migrate from Selenium to Playwright

Jul 19, 2025 By Pratik Patel In Alphabin

I remember the time when Selenium was first set up. It felt empowering a reliable tool for browser automation. But over time, the shine wore off. I was spending more time fixing broken tests than validating real features. That’s when I thought of Migrating from Selenium to Playwright and honestly, I wish I had done it sooner. The speed, stability, and built-in smart features just work. What makes Playwright stand out from Selenium is its clarity.
