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 […]

CI/CD for AI-Enabled Applications: Why Traditional Deployment Pipelines Need to Evolve
Traditional CI/CD pipelines are optimized around a familiar assumption: source code changes, automated tests validate the change, a build artifact is produced, and the application is promoted through environments. AI-enabled applications complicate that model because production behavior can change even when application code does not. A new model version, feature transformation, prompt configuration, retrieval index […]
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, […]
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 […]
Production-Safe Testing: The Missing Piece in Most DevSecOps Strategies
Most DevSecOps teams invest heavily in security before deployment, yet attackers target the production environment where applications, APIs, and user behavior are constantly changing. If security validation stops before release, critical risks can remain hidden until they are exploited. The gap is more common than many organizations realize. A survey found that over 70% of […]
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 […]
Why CI/CD Security Testing Is Going Autonomous (and Why It Should Stay Local)
Continuous integration and delivery changed the tempo of software. Teams merge dozens of times a day, infrastructure is redefined on every commit, and a new build can reach production in minutes. Security testing never caught up with that tempo. It still lives in two modes that both fight the pipeline instead of moving with it. […]
Survey Surfaces Rising Tide of Production Issues Traced Back to AI Code
A survey of 400 business and engineering executives finds 80% have traced a production incident, outage, or customer-impacting defect to code generated by artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the past 12 months. Conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf of Sauce Labs, a provider of an application testing platform, the survey finds 83% of respondents work […]
Sandbox Testing for API-Heavy Systems: What Changes When You Don’t Own the Dependency
Sandbox testing works well when your team controls both sides of the integration. You define the service, you define the mock, you know exactly what the sandbox should return. That setup holds up fine for internal microservices and first-party APIs. It starts to break down when you don’t own the dependency. Payment processors, identity providers, […]
