Build WireMock mappings fast from real traffic

Jun 18, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale
I’m a big fan of service mocking. I’ve been working in and around software for about 25 years, and one thing never changes: when you sit down to work on your code, you almost never have everything available. The database, the third-party API, the message queue, the service two teams over. Something’s missing. So you’ve got to stub it out or mock it out and keep moving.

Capture once, test forever

Jun 12, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale
We’ve gotten used to understanding our applications through signals, summaries, and traces. Tiny little bits of information about how the app really works. Not because that’s the best way to do it, but because it’s been too hard to get the real thing. The real information exists. It’s on the network. How people called your app and what your code did. What other systems it called, the database queries it made, and the result sets that came back.

Payment Device Testing Companies

Jun 11, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Payment device testing is a huge field. It could mean testing products that include POS terminals, PIN pads, unattended payment devices, ATMs, SoftPOS apps, mobile payment software, firmware, remote management, backend systems, APIs, cloud services, and cardholder data environments. Then within these areas, different kinds of organizations will have different focus points. For device manufacturers, what matters is PCI PTS, product security, embedded systems, pre-compliance work, and certification readiness.

The AI Code Explosion: Why Your Mocking Strategy is Breaking Down

Jun 4, 2026 By Alan Mon In Speedscale
The rise of AI-assisted coding has transformed how software is built. With tools generating entire features in seconds, the bottleneck is no longer writing code—it’s verifying it. Because AI can generate boilerplate and handle API integrations instantly, more service changes are being pushed into authentication logic, API calls, and configurations. Teams desperately need a way to verify these changes before merging, especially when the code touches external dependencies.

Testing AI Code is a Security Nightmare? #Speedscale #DevOps #Kubernetes #AICoding #SoftwareTesting

Jun 4, 2026 By Speedscale In Speedscale
AI can write a feature in seconds, but where are you testing it? Sending production traffic, API payloads, and auth headers to a third-party SaaS is a massive security risk. In this video, we break down why the Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) model is the ultimate fix for DevSecOps. Learn how to safely test AI-generated code against real production traffic entirely within your own VPC or Kubernetes cluster. No data leaks, no massive DLP pipelines, and no endless masking rules.

How to generate real-world load tests using Grafana Cloud k6 and production telemetry

Jun 3, 2026 By Matt Wimpelberg In Grafana
For many development teams, a load test starts with a set of assumptions. You pick 100 virtual users because it sounds reasonable. You ramp for 30 seconds because that's what the tutorial showed. You set a 500ms threshold because it feels like a good target. The test passes, you ship the release, and production falls over at 6 p.m. on a Tuesday because your synthetic load never resembled how real users interact with your application.

WireMock alternatives: pick the one that fits your problem

May 22, 2026 By Samuel Umoren In Speedscale
Picture this. You’re standing up a new service. Cursor or Claude Code wrote most of the controller, and it calls a payment API your team doesn’t own. Now you need tests. The agent is gamely inventing the response shape from whatever OpenAPI doc you fed it (which is a year stale), and the WireMock stubs it just generated are guesses dressed up as JSON. Three weeks later production breaks, the test suite was green the whole time, and nobody knows where to start looking.

Generate test scripts from natural language with Grafana Assistant: introducing k6 Script Authoring

May 21, 2026 By Vicente Ortega Torres In Grafana
Performance testing is critical to ensure your applications stay reliable under load, but writing the scripts themselves often feels like a chore. Most engineers already know the scenario they want to test; the hard part is translating that intent into a working performance test. Even experienced developers who use k6 can lose time looking up syntax, configuring load stages and thresholds, or debugging boilerplate code before they can run a meaningful test.

Modern vehicles ship with more software than a small airliner. A single mid-range car can run 100 million lines of code across dozens of electronic control units, talking over CAN, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular and increasingly UWB. From a cybersecurity point of view every one of those interfaces is a potential attack vector and every OEM, Tier 1 and fleet operator on the planet now has to prove, on paper, that they have tested their vehicle from a hackers perspective.
