UiPath Test Cloud: Robots Handle Repetition, Agents Adapt and Humans Lead
Most companies don’t actually struggle to ship software anymore. AI made that part fast. What they struggle with is releasing what they built with any real confidence in it. That gap between shipping fast and trusting what you shipped is what I’ve been calling quality debt at conferences all year, and it’s the same gap […]
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 […]
Airlock Digital Completes Independent IRAP Assessment at the PROTECTED Level

What It Really Takes to Run OpenTelemetry
OpenTelemetry solved a real problem. Before it, every APM vendor had you install a proprietary agent, which meant switching vendors meant re-instrumenting everything. OTel gave engineering teams a vendor-neutral way to generate traces, metrics, and logs once and send them wherever they wanted. That part of the pitch is true, and open-source deserves credit for […]
Why Self-Healing Tests Need a Deployment Gate
When an end-to-end test fails after a front-end change, the repair often looks routine. A class name changed. A button moved. A selector that used to be unique now matches two elements. A self-healing system inspects the page, proposes a new locator, reruns the test, and gets a green result. That green result is useful, […]
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, […]
Harness Adds AI Agents to Automate DevSecOps Workflows at Machine Speed
Harness today added multiple artificial intelligence (AI) agents and a virtual patching capability to its portfolio to automate DevSecOps workflows at a time when the number of vulnerabilities being discovered in code continues to exponentially increase. The AI agents include one that has been added to the static application security testing (SAST) tool that Harness […]
Claude Code’s Temporary Usage Boost Expires Tonight. Here’s What Actually Changes
Anthropic’s temporary 50% increase to Claude Code weekly usage limits expires August 19, reducing available capacity for developers and DevOps teams without lowering subscription prices.
Adronite Unveils AI Coding Tool Based on Embedded Context Engine

Alison Sickelka, vice president of product for Cloudsmith, said these additions to the platform will make it simpler to prevent […]
Deterministic Robots, Agentic Reasoning: Balancing Reliability and Flexibility in Software Test Automation
Summary: Scott Robohn explores how UiPath Test Cloud mitigates the “release gap” caused by rapid, AI-driven development by offering a platform that blends a combination of deterministic automation, AI agents, and human oversight. By distinguishing between deterministic “robots” for efficient, cost-effective regression and flexible “agents” for complex reasoning, the platform empowers quality engineers to use […]

GitHub Copilot’s Latest Update Bets on Model Choice, Not Model Loyalty
GitHub’s latest Copilot updates add Kimi K3, MAI-Code-1.1-Flash, Agent Plugins 1.0, model switching, CLI improvements, and local Ollama support.
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 […]
Microsoft Decouples AI Agents From the VS Code Editor in Latest Release
Microsoft has shipped Visual Studio Code 1.133, and the headline change is architectural rather than cosmetic: AI agent sessions now run in a dedicated background process rather than within the editor’s extension host. The release, which rolled out August 12, moves agent execution into what Microsoft calls the Agent Host, a standalone process built on […]
Arm Adds AI Tool to Optimize Workloads Using Runtime Data
Arm has made available a Dynamic Insights tool that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) models to generate recommendations for optimizing software running on its processors using actual data collected at runtime. Alex Spinelli, senior vice president for AI and developer platforms at Arm, said the Dynamic Insights tool provides both human developers and AI agents with […]
ProjectDiscovery Brings Open Source AI Testing to Vulnerability Discovery
ProjectDiscovery has made available an autonomous security testing platform that leverages an open source artificial intelligence (AI) testing framework to detect and validate vulnerabilities at a lower total cost. Company CEO Rishi Sharma said version 1.0 of the Neo platform is also available via a cloud service that makes it possible for DevSecOps teams to […]
Reflex’s Newly Open-Sourced XY Library Offers Faster Python Charting
A newly open-sourced Python charting library, called XY, from Reflex offers an advantage few other charting tools provide: massive scalability. The library rethinks how to render a set of points on the computer screen, and opens new possibilities for using charts in daily workflows. Most Python charting libraries today, such as Plotly, Bokeh, or Matplotlib, […]
Where Agents Belong in Enterprise Testing: What I Took Away from UiPath Test Cloud
Introduction During a recent UiPath Test Cloud showcase with Tech Field Day, I had a chance to look past the usual “AI can automate testing” message and think about how agents might fit into a real enterprise delivery process. As a Cloud Solutions Architect with a DevOps mindset, I tend to look beyond whether a […]
