Quality assurance (QA) automation is critical for modern software delivery. It catches regressions before production, validates user journeys at scale, and enables confident feature releases. But traditional QA automation solutions are brittle and demand specialized programming knowledge, decelerating software delivery. Automation frameworks rely on implementation details including UI selectors, element identifiers, and structural references to navigate applications. When developers refactor UI code or designers adjust layouts, tests break even though functionality remains intact. This maintenance burden stems from […]

OkCupid and its owner Match Group reached a settlement with the Trump administration for not telling dating-app customers that nearly 3 million user photos were shared with a company making a facial recognition system. OkCupid also gave the facial recognition firm access to user location information and other details without customers’ consent, the Federal Trade Commission said. OkCupid and Match do not have to pay a financial penalty in a deal made with the FTC over an incident […]

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla.—This will be the third time I have observed NASA’s Orion spacecraft take flight. But with this one, for the first time, am I genuinely hopeful about the future of the space agency and its plans to build a station on the surface of the Moon. The two previous flights, in 2014 and 2022, both felt hollow. NASA, an aging bureaucracy, has repeatedly sought to recapture its fading glory while also looking toward a supposedly […]

I’m excited to announce that AWS Security Agent on-demand penetration testing and AWS DevOps Agent are now generally available, representing a new class of AI capabilities we announced at re:Invent called frontier agents. These autonomous systems work independently to achieve goals, scale massively to tackle concurrent tasks, and run persistently for hours or days without constant human oversight. Together, these agents are changing the way we secure and operate software. In preview, customers and partners report that AWS […]

A proposed class action has accused Costco of unjust enrichment after the retail giant allegedly made customers pay for tariffs, then planned to pocket the full refund after they were deemed unlawful. Costco “collected the tariff costs from consumers through elevated pricing, while simultaneously seeking refunds of the same tariff payments from the federal government,” the complaint alleged. Unless the court intervenes, “Costco stands to recover the same tariff payments twice.” Filed in a US District Court in […]

DevOps used to be predictable: same input, same output, binary success, static dependencies, concrete metrics. You could control what you could predict, measure what was concrete, and secure what followed known patterns. Then agentic AI arrived, and everything changed. Agents operate non-deterministically; they don’t follow fixed patterns. Ask the same question twice, get different answers. They select different tools and approaches as they work, rather than following predetermined workflows. Quality exists on a gradient from perfect to fabricated […]

Heavy industry relies on people to inspect hazardous, dirty facilities. It’s expensive, and putting humans in these zones carries obvious safety risks. Swiss robot maker ANYbotics and software company SAP are trying to change that. ANYbotics’ four-legged autonomous robots will be connected straight into SAP’s backend enterprise resource planning software. Instead of treating a robot as a standalone asset, this turns it into a mobile data-gathering node within an industrial IoT network. This initiative shows that hardware innovation […]

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that, in the event of an emergency, all airplane passengers must be able to evacuate any aircraft within a 90-second window. But is that a realistic requirement, particularly given the increasing number of elderly passengers who might need more time and assistance? According to a new paper published in the journal AIP Advances, it is not. Various simulated scenarios showed evacuation times significantly higher than the 90-second requirement. This isn’t the first […]
