Engineering the Path to Autonomous Quality

AI has rewritten the rules of software development. Developers can now generate, fix, and ship code in seconds. This is transformative, but as shared by SmartBear CEO Dan Faulkner, “The tools that help us build software are advancing much faster than the tools that ensure we can trust it.” For software quality to keep up with AI coding, today’s tools must evolve to remain effective. SmartBear is answering this call.

Automating PDF Testing: From Manual Checks to Comprehensive Validation

PDF documents play a critical role in various industries, serving as the final output for customer-facing documents such as invoices, contracts, and compliance reports. However, testing these documents poses significant challenges due to their complex nature, which includes mixed content, dynamic data, and strict formatting requirements. Manual testing of PDFs is not only time-consuming but also prone to human error, making automation an essential component of a robust testing strategy.

A Guide to P4 for Visual Studio Plugin | Microsoft Visual Studio Version Control

A Guide to P4 for Visual Studio Plugin (P4VS) | Microsoft Visual Studio Version Control Join Jackie Garcia, Principal Solution Engineer at Perforce Software, for an in-depth guide on using P4 for Visual Studio (P4VS) 2025.2. If you’ve used P4VS in the past, this new update delivers significant performance improvements: large projects load up to 15x faster, unloading is instantaneous, and freeze issues are resolved.

Better integration tests in Cursor using proxymock

Cursor is fantastic at cranking out code changes. I recently used it to splice a brand-new downstream API call into one of our Go microservices, and the diff looked great. The unit tests finished before I lifted my coffee mug, yet I still had zero certainty the change would survive contact with real traffic. That gap is all about integration tests, so I paired Cursor with proxymock and the outerspace-go demo service to prove the behavior end to end.

Leading by example: How Tricentis is approaching its own SAP S/4HANA implementation

In late 2024, Tricentis embarked on its own SAP transformation — migrating from NetSuite to a greenfield implementation of SAP S/4HANA Finance. This blog kicks off a series that will follow Tricentis’ migration journey, from planning and implementation through to outcomes and impact.

How To Use Coverlet Coverage For Improved Code Quality In Testing?

Have you ever considered how well-tested your.NET code simply is? Many teams feel their test suite is complete until a bug makes its way into production. The hard part is not just writing tests, but determining if tests cover critical paths. When using standard coverage tools, coverage can seem convoluted and unrelated to how you write code. This is where Coverlet coverage comes in – a simple to use, open source library for measuring test file coverage, and improving test coverage.
