Tricentis Webinar Series: What customers are saying about Agentic Performance Testing

As Tricentis customers continue to adopt Agentic Performance Testing, Product Marketing Manager Jason Secola sat down with APT's product manager, Twan Koot, to discuss how customers are making use of its agentic capabilities. Here, he shares customer feedback. Key highlights.

The AI-Generated Code Testing Checklist: Which Flows to Lock Down First

Your developers are shipping more code than ever, and a growing share of it is written by AI. Your QA team, meanwhile, is probably the same size it was a year ago. You’re not imagining the squeeze. In a recent survey of 300 QA practitioners, 52% said bug volume went up after their developers started using AI, and 58% said their own testing workload grew. Not one of them reported getting extra QA headcount to match.

SSO for Healthcare: How Single Sign-On Works in Clinical Environments

Healthcare organizations are abandoning legacy identity systems. In 2026, a 250-bed hospital still running standalone credentials across EHR, pharmacy, and billing systems faces escalating regulatory risk, operational friction, and insider threat exposure. Enterprise SSO for healthcare solves this by unifying identity across HIPAA-regulated applications while enforcing zero-trust principles at every access point. But SSO for healthcare isn't just Okta or Azure AD out-of-the-box.

How to Build an Effective Database Testing Strategy for Reliable Releases

Green build pipelines lie. Your automated unit suites can execute without a single failure, API contracts can validate cleanly, and browser regression sweeps can pass with pristine checkmarks. Yet the moment a release hits production, software must interact with state. A single unindexed foreign key, an overlooked lock escalation on a high-throughput table, or an uncalibrated default constraint will bring an entire platform to a halt while your CI dashboards remain reassuringly green.

Your Guide to Perforce Autonomous Testing

Software testing is struggling to keep pace with modern release cycles. More code, faster deployments, fragmented tools, and increasing quality demands are creating bottlenecks for QA, engineering, and DevOps teams. Discover how Perforce Autonomous Testing transforms the way teams validate software by bringing functional, performance, web, mobile, and desktop testing together through a unified AI-driven experience. Using natural language, teams can define testing intent, automate execution, orchestrate complex workflows, and gain actionable insights faster than ever before.

AI-Powered Digital Front Door: How AI Improves Patient Access and Intake (2026)

The digital front door is moving beyond portals, online forms, and basic appointment booking. In 2026, AI is making patient access more responsive by helping patients find the right provider, schedule care, verify coverage, complete intake, and prepare for visits through connected digital workflows. The shift comes as healthcare organizations move AI from experimentation into real operations.

Validating Infrastructure Auto-Scaling with Load Testing

Load testing is essential for validating infrastructure auto-scaling policies before deployment. Skipping this step can result in resource wastage or bottlenecks. In a recent case study, simulating traffic spikes in a controlled environment enabled teams to reduce response times and lower server costs.

Test Your MySQL 8.4 Upgrade With Real App Queries

Before you start, paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Kiro, or any assistant that can read a URL and run commands: The install-speedscale skill installs proxymock for your operating system and walks you through proxymock init. It stops when you need to complete browser sign-in, keeps your recordings on your machine, and connects the proxymock MCP server so your assistant can run the prompts later in this article.

Cloud vs On-Premise Load Testing: 2026 Guide

Choosing between cloud-based and on-premise load testing solutions is a strategic decision in performance assurance. Picture cloud load testing as casting a wide net – covering broad territory and adapting to changing conditions. On-premise is more like fishing with a spear, offering precise control but with limited reach.
