QA Trends for 2026: How AI, and Regulatory Compliance Are Reshaping Software Testing
Discover the top QA trends for 2026, including AI-driven testing, continuous quality engineering, performance engineering, DORA compliance, and autonomous test automation. Learn how organizations can prepare for the future of software quality.

What Is a Flaky Test and Why Is It a Business Risk?
A flaky test is an automated test that sometimes passes and sometimes fails without a relevant change in the code. At first glance, it may look like a technical nuisance: a failed build, a rerun, a delay in CI/CD. But at scale, flaky tests become a business risk. They slow down releases, waste engineering time, reduce trust in automated testing, hide real defects, and weaken confidence in business-critical software. For organizations in banking, telecommunications, aerospace, and other regulated or high-dependability environments, test flakiness is not just a QA problem. It is an operational risk that must be managed deliberately.

Test Automation Maturity Model: Where Does Your Company Stand?
Test automation is no longer a competitive advantage reserved for technology leaders. In business-critical software, it is becoming a basic requirement for release confidence, operational resilience, and compliance readiness. Yet many organizations still ask the wrong question: “Do we have automated tests?” A better question is: “How mature, repeatable, measurable, and auditable is our testing process?” The Test Maturity Model integration, or TMMi, provides a practical way to answer that question and understand where your company stands on the path from ad hoc testing to optimized quality engineering.

How Much Does a Live Bug Cost? The Real Cost of a Defect in Business-Critical Software
A live software bug is rarely “just a bug.” In business-critical systems, especially in regulated industries, a defect that reaches production can trigger operational disruption, customer impact, compliance exposure, emergency remediation, reputational damage, and long-term technical debt. The real question is not whether testing costs money. The real question is: how much does insufficient testing cost when failure becomes visible?

DORA 2026: This is how banking test automation will be auditable and provable
Since 17 January 2025, DORA has required the EU financial sector to independently test critical ICT systems at least annually, and institutions subject to TLPT every three years with a threat-driven penetration test. The requirement is not to “test”, but to perform testing in a documented, repeatable and audit-provable manner. This is where test automation becomes truly valuable: when all runs are traceable and not chained to a single vendor.

The Testability Keystone: Why Automated Regression Testing is the Strategic Imperative for Modern ANSPs
In an era defined by exponentially rising complexity and faster change cycles, Air
Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) face a critical challenge: maintaining absolute
system reliability while accelerating modernization.

The Hidden ROI of Automated Testing: Saving Time, Money, and Reputation
The hidden ROI of automated testing shows up in places budgets rarely label as “testing costs”: emergency hotfixes, delayed releases, incident response, customer churn, and the slow erosion of trust when software becomes unpredictable.

AI in Testing: The Future of Automated and Performance Testing Is Now
Lead Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are no longer emerging trends in software development—they are already reshaping how applications are built, tested, and released.

5 Reasons Why SMEs Should Also Automate Their Testing
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often hesitate when it comes to test automation, assuming it’s reserved for large corporations with massive tech budgets.

Top 5 Misconceptions That Delay the Shift from Manual to Automated Testing
The transition from manual to automated testing is a game-changer for companies seeking faster release cycles, higher accuracy, and scalable quality assurance.

ProofIT is 15 years old – Interview with the founders
A decade and a half is a long time in the life of a company. There were also sharp changes in direction at ProofIT, the company transformed from a software development company to a software testing company. Since then, using their diverse experiences, they have appeared on the market with automatic testing products.
