In this video, Product Marketing Manager Twan Koot explains the two pieces behind it: purpose-built tools and a team of seven specialized agents, each designed to do a performance tester’s job the way it should be done. Key highlights.

Optimize Database Connection Pools for Peak Performance

Oct 18, 2026 By Chris In LoadFocus
When scaling an application to handle higher traffic, performance stalls or database errors often trace back to database connection pools running on default or generic settings that buckle under real-world load. The result? Connection timeouts, resource exhaustion, and users facing delays while the backend struggles. Establishing a new database connection can take 50 to 100 milliseconds per request, and multiplying that overhead by thousands of concurrent users can overwhelm infrastructure.

HTTP/3 Load Testing: Cloud Practices in 2026

Oct 17, 2026 By Chris In LoadFocus
HTTP/3 load testing requires more than updating legacy scripts. The move from TCP to UDP-based QUIC changes how traffic is generated and validated. Many popular tools, such as k6, default to older protocols unless HTTP/3 is specifically negotiated and confirmed. To avoid testing fallback scenarios, pair your application-level load tests with QUIC-aware validation.

Optimize Load Test Script Maintenance with AI

Oct 16, 2026 By Chris In LoadFocus
AI-driven load test script maintenance can significantly reduce the manual updates required by traditional tools. As your application evolves – whether through new user flows, updated endpoints, or changing parameters – AI features in some platforms help automatically adjust scripts to reflect these changes. This simplifies maintenance and allows your team to focus on testing outcomes rather than constant script rewrites.

Manual Testers Are Getting Promoted

Oct 15, 2026 By Alex Martins In Katalon
AI isn't coming for the manual tester's job. It's coming for the worst parts of it. What's left is the part you love, the part that always mattered most. And it's about to matter a lot more. There's a lot of talk right now about AI agents that can run the tests teams already have, keep them working as the application changes, and do it at a scale no team could staff. If you're a manual tester, I can guess what goes through your head when you read that. Great for the company. Where does it leave me?
