API Gateways and Service Meshes: Opening the Door to Application Modernisation
Modernising applications by decoupling them from the underlying infrastructure on which they are running can enable innovation, reduce costs, and improve security. An API Gateway can decouple applications from external consumers, and a service mesh decouples applications from internal consumers.

Bots Are Coming! Approaches for Testing Conversational Interfaces
Voice-based computing interfaces need testing with an adapted approached, suited for their specificity and context. Some things need to be adapted (test strategy, testing approach, validation criteria), while others can be re-used (e.g. API testing approaches and tools), and some require learning new things (e.g. testing artificial intelligence models and components).
