QA Debt: The Silent Risk That Can Take Down Your Business

In engineering, we talk a lot about technical debt — the shortcuts and compromises made in code that pile up over time. But there’s another kind of debt that’s just as dangerous and far more invisible: QA debt. QA debt is what happens when testing isn’t given the same attention as features, architecture, or performance. It’s the accumulation of missed edge cases, outdated test suites, incomplete automation, or skipped regression checks.

Why ERP Implementation projects fail and how to avoid failures

ERP implementation is a strategic decision for any business. Organizations adopt ERP solutions to eliminate inefficiencies caused by disconnected systems, data silos, and a lack of actionable insights. When implemented effectively, ERP systems can significantly boost productivity. However, research from leading analysts indicates that over 70% of ERP implementation projects fail to meet timelines and budgets, while only 30% of digital transformation initiatives achieve their intended outcomes. In this blog, we'll explore the key reasons behind ERP implementation failures and how to avoid them.

Testing AI Code in CI/CD Made Simple for Developers

Generative AI can produce code faster than humans, and developers feel more productive with it integrated into their IDEs. That productivity is only real if CI/CD tests are solid and automated. When not appropriately tested, you may encounter a production issue that you haven’t seen before. According to the State of Software Delivery 2025 report, 67% of developers spend more time debugging and resolving security vulnerabilities in code generated by AI.

Frontend JavaScript performance testing: A comprehensive guide

When a page pauses for even a quarter-second users feel it, and many will tab away before the spinner stops. Front-end performance testing lets us spot those delays on our own machines instead of reading about them in support tickets. The browser runs JavaScript, layout, painting, and every user interaction on a single main thread. If one task takes too long, everything else queues up behind it.

Distributed performance testing for Kubernetes environments: Grafana k6 Operator 1.0 is here

Performance testing is critical to build reliable applications, but testing at scale, especially inside modern Kubernetes environments, can be a challenge. For example, how do you coordinate tests across multiple nodes, test private services without compromising security, or even do both at once? And most importantly, how do you do all this without adding too much operational complexity to your stack?
