Survey Surfaces Sharp Increase in Amount of Code Written by AI
A global survey of 705 developers and IT leaders finds 42% of respondents reporting that artificial intelligence (AI) now writes at least half their code, with only 21% of developers now spending more than half their week writing new code from scratch. Conducted by BairesDev, a provider of software development services, the survey also finds […]

Perforce Software has added a tool that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to make it simpler for application development teams to generate synthetic data for application testing purposes. Mayank Ahluwalia, a senior product manager for Perforce Delphix, said Delphix Synthetic Data makes use of machine learning algorithms to generate synthetic data for specific use cases. It […]
Survey: Lack of Confidence in Software Supply Chain Security Runs High
A survey of 400 platform and security engineers in the U.S and United Kingdom (UK), finds nearly three quarters (73%) are either only moderately confident (58%) or not confident (15%) in the ability of their existing tools for managing software artifacts to prevent attacks against their organization’s software supply chain. Conducted by Cloudsmith, a provider […]

Dan Ochs, director of AI solutions consulting for Blitzy, said the provider’s Proactive Insights platform uses multiple artificial […]
Why Plan Review Stopped Working
The control that held your infrastructure together was plan review, meaning a person reading a diff and deciding whether to approve it. Not the policy document and not the pipeline configuration. It worked because change arrived at human speed. That condition no longer holds. An agent opens 40 pull requests before lunch. Reviewers approve them […]
Talentica Software Unfurls Managed AI Service to Optimize Software Delivery
Talentica Software this week launched a managed software delivery service that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to enable DevOps teams to deploy applications developed using AI coding tools at scale. Company CTO Manjusha Madabushi said the DevX AI Pods service makes use of a set of AI agents that Talentica has trained to provide the context […]
AWS Adds Harness to Open Source SDK for Building AI Agents
Amazon Web Services (AWS) this week revealed it has added a harness to the open source software development kit (SDK) it makes available for building artificial intelligence (AI) agents. First introduced last year, the Strands SDK makes it simpler for application developers to use AI models to build and deploy AI agents. The Strands harness […]
Harness Previews Revamped Platform for the Agentic Engineering Era
Harness today previewed a revamped user interface for its platform for managing software deployments that makes it simpler for software engineers to manage teams of artificial intelligence (AI) agents using a forthcoming Harness Software Factory platform. Speaking at an {unscripted} NYC 2026 event, Harness CEO Jyoti Bansal told conference attendees the Harness Software Factory will […]
How I Consolidated Duplicate Delivery Pipelines With Parameters and Build Tags
Two modules in a repository had near-identical Azure DevOps build and release definitions. A third would have required another pair. The delivery chain used five definitions: one change decider, two builds, and two releases. I consolidated it into one decider, one generic build, and one release with a deployment stage for each onboarded module. The […]
Hybrid Software Development: Benefits and Challenges
Fortunately, companies do not always have to choose between in-house vs outsourcing. Instead they can adopt a hybrid development strategy, which combines the capacities of internal and external IT teams. This approach allows companies to capitalize on the strengths of both traditional software development models, while offsetting their respective limitations, thereby streamlining project execution. However, […]
DevOps’ Three Ways Were Never About Tooling
Somewhere along the way, DevOps became a tooling conversation. Ask someone how mature their DevOps practice is and the answer will often involve CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, infrastructure as code, observability, deployment frequency, or some combination of the above. All valuable tools, but that is often where the conversation ends. They compartmentalize DevOps principles to […]
Atlassian Aims to Fill Context and Governance Gap for AI Coding Agents
Atlassian today extended the capabilities of its portfolio to provide teams of artificial intelligence (AI) coding agents with the level of context needed to build and deploy applications in production environments at much higher levels of scale. Code Context, built on Atlassian’s Teamwork Graph, makes it possible for AI coding agents to generate more reliable […]
Test Creation Was Never the Bottleneck
Something specific happened to software delivery in the past two years. The 2026 survey data is unusually clear about what it was. Sonar’s 2026 State of Code Developer Survey found that AI-generated or AI-assisted code accounted for 42% of code committed by respondents, with developers projecting that share to reach 65% by 2027. GitLab’s 2026 […]
DevOps in Financial Services: Moving Fast Without Losing Control
DevOps is often associated with speed: shorter release cycles, greater automation, faster feedback and increased developer autonomy. In financial services, however, speed is only one part of the equation. A platform supporting banking, payments or other regulated financial workloads also has to account for security, traceability, resilience, access control and operational risk. A deployment that […]
Certificate Renewal Is a Deployment Workflow, Not a Cron Job
Certificate renewal is often treated as a scheduled task: run an ACME client, obtain a new certificate, and move on. In practice, that view is too narrow for production systems. A certificate is not useful because it exists on disk. It is useful because the right service is presenting it to users. Between issuance and […]
The AI Agent Race Is On. But Are We Watching the Right Race?
Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor and a growing field of challengers are competing to define the future of software development. A new Techstrong special report examines who is ahead, how the race should be measured and what enterprises need to consider before placing their bets. Which AI coding agent is winning? It sounds […]
Why “Tokenmaxxing” Was Always the Wrong Way for Developers to Measure AI Productivity
The term “tokenmaxxing” left the developer lexicon just as quickly as it arrived, and like most viral technology concepts, it means different things depending on who’s using it. In practice, the term is being applied in two ways: maximizing total token consumption as a proxy for AI adoption and effort, or optimizing output per token […]
AI Agents Are Writing Code Faster Than Anyone Can Review It. Tessl Is Betting On Standards To Close That Gap
Every team that has turned coding agents loose on real work has run into the same wall. The agents write fast. They write a lot. And somewhere between the tenth and twentieth pull request of the day, the humans responsible for reviewing that code start falling behind. That’s not a hypothetical. It’s the operating reality […]
GitHub Sharpens CodeQL’s Eye on Actions Workflows and Modern JavaScript
GitHub Actions pipelines have become one of the quieter attack surfaces in software development. They pull in third-party actions, cache dependencies, and pass secrets between jobs, often without anyone reviewing the workflow file as closely as they’d review application code. That gap is exactly where cache-poisoning and output-clobbering attacks live, and it’s why GitHub keeps […]
Cursor Launches Origin Code Hosting Platform as GitHub Rival
AI coding provider Cursor has launched Origin, a code hosting platform that puts source code and AI coding agents inside the Cursor development environment. The new coding platform expands the company into a market long dominated by GitHub. The rollout arrived as GitHub suffered a major outage lasting more than six hours, disrupting pull requests, […]
Cloudsmith Extends Policies and Controls to Secure Application Binaries
Cloudsmith this week revealed it has expanded the policy management and continuous risk detection capabilities it makes available within its software artifact management platform to now include policy templates, cooldown policies, and expanded evaluation triggers. Alison Sickelka, vice president of product for Cloudsmith, said these additions to the platform will make it simpler to prevent […]
Treat Business Workflow Changes Like Deployments
Business automation often reaches production without the release discipline applied to application code. A routing rule changes, an approval threshold moves, or an integration starts writing to a new system. The edit may happen in a visual builder instead of a repository, but its blast radius is still real: orders can duplicate, customers can receive […]
