Why test data management is becoming increasingly important to senior IT leaders

We recently sat down with James Phillips, Senior IT Leader, to talk about test data management (TDM) and the growing attention it’s getting from the senior IT leaders. It’s been prompted by the recognition that provisioning test and development environments with realistic production-like data improves the quality of code being developed, reduces errors, and deliver new features to customers faster.

What Do You Use for AI Agent Infrastructure? The Complete Guide to Building Production-Ready Agent Systems

The question "what do you use for AI agent infrastructure?" has become one of the most searched queries in the DevOps and platform engineering space. And for good reason: the global AI agent market is projected to grow from $5.1 billion in 2024 to $47.1 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate of nearly 45%. With 85% of enterprises expected to implement AI agents by the end of 2025, getting the infrastructure right has never been more critical.

How Web Test Recorders Help Teams Improve App Quality and Efficiency

Every time a new feature goes live, teams hold their breath. Web apps are updated faster than ever, and expectations keep rising. In fact, software bugs cost teams up to 25 times more to fix after release than during development, reinforcing how expensive missed issues can be for small teams trying to grow. Many teams push updates weekly or daily. At first, manual testing feels manageable.

Testing Icinga in a Homelab Setup With Nextcloud

If you want to get started with Icinga but don’t have a data center lying around, no worries. Icinga is a lightweight monitoring tool that works for both large infrastructures and small home labs. When I first explored Icinga during my first year as an apprentice, it was also my first real contact with monitoring tools. After completing the Icinga Fundamentals training, I wanted to experiment with hosts and services, but what should I monitor?

Mastering waits and timeouts in Playwright

If you have written any kind of end-to-end tests or UI tests you probably know that the greatest headache to deal with is test flakiness due to browser actions not behaving in the way that you expect them to behave. This flakiness can be a major bottleneck especially in CI/CD pipelines due to constant failures.

ROI of Digital Twin Testing: Cut Testing Costs by 50%

When engineering leaders review their cloud bills, they often focus on production costs—the infrastructure serving real users, processing real transactions, generating real revenue. But there’s a shadow cost lurking in every cloud environment that often goes unnoticed until it becomes painful: non-production infrastructure.
