What's the value of professional services not just for customers, but also internally across teams?

Professional services not only accelerates customer onboarding but also strengthens internal collaboration by sharing success criteria, tracking KPIs, surfacing product feedback, and ensuring a smooth handoff to CSM and support. This creates transparency across teams and helps customers, and Katalon, in continuous improvement and growth. — Mush Honda, Chief Quality Architect at Katalon Follow Katalon for more insights in our series!

Software Testing Basics Simplified: A Guide For Beginners (2026)

Release day gets tense when a test suite can’t answer one simple question: are we safe to ship? In the conversations I have with engineering and QA teams, the same pattern shows up again and again – confusion in the basics creates chaos later. That’s why software testing basics matter: they turn testing from “random checks” into something teams can trust. Once the fundamentals click, choosing test types, tools, and automation becomes a lot easier.

What Leaders Need to Know About AI in Software Quality

The impact of AI on software quality is no longer theoretical, it’s already here. For engineering leaders, this shift represents more than a technical upgrade, it’s a cultural and strategic one. AI is transforming how teams approach quality, enabling faster decisions, improved visibility, and more intelligent prioritization across every stage of the development lifecycle. Traditionally, software quality was managed reactively. Teams waited for issues to surface and then fixed them.

Top 21 API Testing Tools

If a modern application fails in production, the root cause is rarely the UI and almost always an API behaving differently than expected. As systems evolve into microservices, cloud platforms, and distributed architectures, API testing tools quietly determine whether software remains reliable or slowly breaks under real-world usage. If developers trust an API without validating it under load, edge cases, and security constraints, failures are inevitable.

Test automation using Record and Play | Zephyr

SmartBear Zephyr is the Jira-native test management and automation platform that empowers your team to deliver better software,faster. Its Record and Play capability is a fast and easy way to build, run, and review automated tests. This short video demonstrates the full flow from recording to execution, all without writing a single line of code. You'll see how testers can review the recorded steps and verify that each interaction was accurately captured, for both traceability and visibility into the automated workflow.

Tricentis extends its excellence into the era of AI-augmented testing

AI is redefining how software is created and delivered. It’s transforming development speed, decision-making, and user expectations all while introducing new layers of complexity and risk. To keep pace, testing is evolving beyond automation into true AI-augmented testing, where intelligent systems help teams predict risk and defects, optimize coverage and efficiency, and deliver at the speed of AI-driven change. The industry has moved forward – now users need to catch up.

The Dangerous Power of Local AI Agents. #speedscale #proxymock #aiagents #openclaw #localai

I’ve been testing OpenClaw, a fully autonomous agent that lets you remote control your entire system via Signal. It’s incredibly powerful to text your computer from a coffee shop and have it execute tasks, but you’re essentially handing the keys to your digital kingdom to an LLM. The Golden Rule: Trust, but verify. I’m using Proxymock to sniff every single API call going in and out of the agent. If there’s a data leak or a "hallucination" that tries to wipe my drive, I see it first.
