What’s New in RAD Studio 13.1 – Asia Pacific Webinar

Code Partners, in conjunction with Embarcadero, have organised a RAD Studio 13.1 Launch event in a timezone that hopefully works better for our Asia Pacific customers. Embarcadero Developer Advocate Ian Barker and our own Malcolm Groves will be hosting, and it’ll cover all the same content from the US event, plus some extra discussion and

A Guide to Automated Test Execution with Ranorex

Automated test execution is a foundational practice in modern software development, where test scripts are run automatically to validate an application’s functionality. This process is central to any test automation strategy, helping teams improve speed and reliability, particularly within CI/CD pipelines. A solid grasp of its principles is key for any team aiming to enhance

What Is An SBOM And Why Is It Growing In Importance?

A Software Bill of Materials, or SBOM, is becoming an essential document in modern software development. It functions as a comprehensive inventory, listing all the open-source and third-party components that make up a piece of software. Think of it as a detailed list of ingredients for a software application. This formal record provides the transparency

RAD Server Technical Guide v3.0

Version 3 of the technical guide for RAD Server has now been released. This revision brings the documentation in line with the latest features introduced in RAD Studio 13. For developers building back-end services and APIs, this guide serves as a comprehensive resource for getting the most out of the modern RAD Server platform. The

Application Security Testing Tools: SAST, DAST, SCA & RASP Compared

Navigating the crowded landscape of application security tools can be a significant challenge for development and security teams. This post provides a clear guide to help you navigate your options, moving beyond a simple list of products to explain the fundamental differences between the types of tools available and the specific problems they are designed

Safety Beyond Memory: The Many Dimensions of Safety in C++

The conversation around C++ safety is frequently dominated by the single issue of memory safety. While undeniably critical, this narrow focus can obscure the broader meaning of what makes software safe and robust. This post argues for a more holistic perspective, suggesting that true safety in programming is a multi-dimensional concept that extends well beyond

The Governance Blindspot: Mistaking Recklessness for Speed

If there is one mantra that has defined the last decade of tech, it is “move fast and break things.” And looking at the Australian ecosystem right now, we are certainly moving fast. But I worry we are about to break the wrong things. There is a dangerous disconnect playing out in our sector. On

Building High-Performance AI/ML Pipelines with C++ and CUDA

While Python dominates the experimental phase of machine learning, it often hits a ceiling when deployed in production environments where milliseconds matter. A recent article from Whole Tomato dives into why industries like autonomous vehicles, high-frequency trading, and robotics are building their ML pipelines directly in C++ and CUDA. This guide walks through the architecture

RAD Studio 13: New Patch for Smart CodeInsight and Claude

Embarcadero has released an important patch for RAD Studio 13 that updates the Smart CodeInsight AI integration to support the latest Anthropic Claude models. Why is this update needed? Claude recently deprecated some of the models previously supported by RAD Studio. This patch addresses the necessary API and JSON data mapping changes to keep your

AI in Test Automation: Beyond the Hype

The conversation around AI in test automation is often filled with hype, but what does its implementation look like in practice? This post from Ranorex outlines their pragmatic, problem-first approach. Instead of chasing buzzwords, their focus is on how AI can solve the most persistent challenges in testing, particularly the significant time and effort spent
