Scale coverage as fast as you ship with Datadog Bits Testing
Engineering ships faster than ever with AI writing more of the code, but test coverage has to keep pace, or users find the broken flows first.

CircleCI Smarter Testing Tutorial: Run Fewer Tests and Get Faster Feedback
CircleCI Smarter Testing is now generally available. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how Smarter Testing helps you run fewer tests, get faster feedback, and reduce unnecessary CI compute with three capabilities: Then, we’ll put it to the test. For the same code change, a traditional pipeline ran all 9,716 tests across 15 nodes. With Smarter Testing, CircleCI identified just 44 impacted tests and skipped the other 9,672, cutting test runtime from 3 minutes and 56 seconds to 22 seconds.
Smarter Testing is here
One file changed. 9,716 tests in the suite. Only 44 needed to run. See how Smarter Testing uses Test Impact Analysis to cut the unnecessary tests and get to feedback faster.
Official Buyer's Guide to the Best Autonomous Pentesting Tools: An AppSec Lead's Field Guide
A practitioner's evaluation framework for continuous offensive testing across web apps, APIs, and modern CI/CD pipelines.
Holiday readiness: run your first load test with skills
Before you can answer whether checkout will survive Black Friday, you need a test you can rerun. In this demo, we used a coding agent and the Speedscale skills to record a Node app, mock its downstream API, and run a 30-second load test with 10 virtual users. That’s a small first step in holiday readiness. It gives you a working test and a result to inspect, with time left to fix what you find before a code freeze.
9 Best AI Penetration Testing Companies for Enterprise Security Teams
Enterprise security teams know the value of penetration testing. The problem is the schedule. A large organization may run hundreds of web applications, thousands of API endpoints, mobile apps, AI features, and a sprawling external attack surface, and much of it changes every week. An annual or quarterly pentest examines a snapshot of that environment, produces a report weeks later, and leaves most of the year untested.
Test Your MySQL 8.4 Upgrade With Real App Queries
Before you start, paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Kiro, or any assistant that can read a URL and run commands: The install-speedscale skill installs proxymock for your operating system and walks you through proxymock init. It stops when you need to complete browser sign-in, keeps your recordings on your machine, and connects the proxymock MCP server so your assistant can run the prompts later in this article.
Why Mocks Fail at Scale #softwareengineering #devops #softwaretesting #api #aicoding
Mocking for testing starts off easy, but once you scale to multiple teams and AI agents, handcrafted mocks become a serious form of technical liability. Instead of treating mocking as an individual software engineering task, shift your mindset to treat it as a platform engineering task focused on automation and continuously refreshed modern data. Watch to see how adopting technologies like traffic replay to simulate realistic backend sandboxes can transform your modern testing workflow!
How to monitor Cypress tests with Grafana Cloud
If your Cypress suite has tests that fail more often or run slower, you know it can be hard to figure out the pattern from a single job. It could be one spec that slowed down, or a single test that fails, or maybe the entire suite is trending slower. The root cause could be a bug in the app, or a flaky test, or something else.
