What is Spike Testing in Performance Testing?

Aug 20, 2026 By Bogdan In LoadFocus

Spike testing applies a sharp, sudden increase in load, holds it briefly, then drops back. It is not about the maximum number of users; a system can pass a stress test at a higher level and still fail a spike at a lower one, because the failure comes from the rate of change rather than the volume.

Get more control over AI Test Case Generation in Xray

Aug 20, 2026 By Mariana Santos In Xray

Writing Tests from Requirements often starts with the same decision: how many scenarios does this change actually need? The number of Tests needed for a Requirement depends on the behavior it describes. A small change may require only a few Tests, while a feature with several acceptance criteria, user roles, and possible outcomes may need a broader set. AI Test Case Generation in Xray now lets testers account for that difference before generation begins.

Reliability Engineering in the AI Era

Aug 19, 2026 By Matt LeRay In Speedscale

Engineering leaders have been claiming to “shift quality left” for years but production remains stubbornly stuck out of reach of software engineers. The realm of production remains mysterious with tools no one has access to and UIs that wouldn’t make sense to engineers anyway. I’ve noticed a small but growing trend of large enterprises hiring Reliability Engineers instead of Site Reliability Engineers. Dropping one word looks cosmetic but I think it points to a much bigger change.

From Telemetry to Traffic

Aug 19, 2026 By Matt LeRay In Speedscale

A metric says latency increased. A log says a request failed. A trace identifies the slow dependency. An APM agent points to the method. Manual instrumentation explains the business operation. Traffic capture shows the exact request and response that triggered it. Each layer answers a question the previous layer could not. Each also introduces a new cost, blind spot, and failure mode.

4 Ways Test Data Blocks Agentic Development

Aug 19, 2026 By Perforce In Perforce

Every tech leader is talking about agentic development and the promise of dramatically speeding up software delivery. But as organizations begin scaling AI-generated code, many are running into the same challenge: their test data processes can't keep up.

The AI Code Verification Crisis: Meet AURA, the platform built to solve it

Aug 19, 2026 By Sauce Labs In Sauce Labs

AI didn't remove the release bottleneck, it moved it downstream. Code volume exploded, verification didn't. The old QA model isn't broken, it's outgrown: 80% of engineering teams have already traced a production incident to AI-generated code. AURA is Sauce Labs' answer, the only full-lifecycle release assurance platform built to close the gap. It continuously verifies every release against business intent, authoring, running, and regenerating tests in an autonomous learning loop, with humans in control.

How to Improve Interoperability in Healthcare: A Practical Roadmap (2026)

Aug 18, 2026 By Nirmal Suthar In Zymr

Healthcare interoperability enables clinical, administrative, and financial systems to exchange usable health information securely. It connects EHRs, payer platforms, laboratories, pharmacies, medical devices, and patient applications. In 2026, interoperability requires more than transferring data between disconnected systems. Healthcare organizations must standardize data models, resolve patient identities, govern access, maintain semantic consistency, and support real-time API-based workflows.

Chaos Monkey Won't Find Your Bug

Aug 17, 2026 By Matt LeRay In Speedscale

We shipped a chaos feature that never caused any chaos. Our mock server has had a fault-injection effect for years with a straightforward job: withhold the response entirely and see whether the caller copes. Last week I audited it against the actual code path. It had never withheld anything. The handler returned early without writing a response. Go’s net/http then did what it is designed to do, which is synthesize a 200 OK and flush the recorded body.
