Since the 2001 Agile Manifesto, software development has thrived on principles like “individuals and interactions over processes,” continuous delivery, and embracing change. Over the following decades, we watched Agile disrupt heavyweight, documentation-driven SDLCs by enabling iterative value delivery and adaptive planning. Now, fast forward to 2025, and AI is drastically changing software development. Models like … continue reading
Like many large enterprises, we must navigate the beauty and chaos of legacy code. In our case, decades of SQL procedures and business logic that underpin a platform capable of handling over 3 million concurrent users and hundreds of micro code deployments per week. It’s a complex machine. Touch one part, and you risk breaking … continue reading
As businesses continue to experiment with AI-powered technologies, it’s likely that the most common use case across industries is one that essentially pre-dates the explosion of interest in generative AI, which is that of the humble chatbot. Anyone who has visited a business website over the last decade will have encountered a chatbot, particularly when … continue reading
Ever since Generative AI captured public attention, there’s been no shortage of speculation about the future of tech jobs.

Yet, when it comes to software development and testing, generative AI is better suited to … continue reading
Software companies are constantly trying to add more and more AI features to their platforms, and it can be hard to keep up with it all. We’ve written this roundup to share updates from 10 notable companies that have recently enhanced their products with AI. Google announces Gemini 2.0 Flash, Flash-Lite, and Pro Gemini 2.0 … continue reading
Artificial intelligence is very effective at answering questions, based on the data upon which it was trained. It is, however, still quite limited in what it can do. For instance, you could ask AI to book a flight reservation to Paris, with a seat in economy plus, and to give you an itinerary once you … continue reading
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the complexity of distributed systems and microservices architectures has reached unprecedented levels. As organizations strive to maintain visibility into their increasingly intricate tech stacks, observability has emerged as a critical discipline. At the forefront of this field stands OpenTelemetry, an open-source observability framework that has gained significant traction in … continue reading
Generative AI has the potential to have a positive impact on software development and productivity, but with that increased productivity comes increased pressure on software testing. If you can generate five or even 10 times the amount of code you previously could, that’s also five to 10 times more code that needs to be tested. … continue reading
The AI company Galileo has just announced its latest Hallucination Index, which is a framework that evaluates 22 leading generative AI models. Models are tested using a metric called context adherence, which measures “closed-domain hallucinations: cases where your model said things that were not provided in the context.” The best performing model overall for RAG, … continue reading
A number of industry leaders — over 1,000 in total — have come together to create the Enterprise GenAI Governance Framework, which provides guidance that businesses can use to assess their AI readiness, identify associated risks, and responsibly adopt generative AI. The initiative was spearheaded by integration platform Boomi, professional services firm Connor Group, and … continue reading
The online learning platform Udemy has announced that in collaboration with AWS, it is launching a new course for generative AI that is targeted towards business leaders. The six-week cohort learning program, Unlocking GenAI Opportunities with AWS, will teach leaders strategies on how to make the most of generative AI in their organizations. It is … continue reading
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced a new pilot evaluation program, NIST GenAI, to help assess whether content — text, image, video, or audio — was generated by a human or AI. One of the goals of the study is to use the results to assist people in making these determinations … continue reading
