Software development is a moving target. In a world where organisations want faster to market, more agile and higher quality output, continuous integration (CI) has become a standard process in the new software development lifecycle (SDLC). Code is integrated and tested with CI, reducing friction between operational teams and development teams, reducing workflow complexity and increasing overall output quality. Where change happens fast, CI is no longer a nice-to-have but a must-have. In this post, we’ll be looking at a reason why Continuous Integration has never been more important and how, with DevOps culture and CI/CD pipelines, it’s changed the development…

Black Duck Software, this week at the Black Hat USA 2025 conference, revealed it has now integrated its artificial intelligence (AI) tool for securing software, dubbed Black Duck Assist, into the company’s plug-in for integrated developer environments (IDEs).In addition to IDEs such as Eclipse, IntelliJ, and Visual Studio, Code Sight is now available for AI code editors such as Cursor and Windsurf to ensure code being generated by AI coding tools is also free of common vulnerabilities. It also provides vulnerability summaries and code analysis without requiring application developers to switch to a different tool.Black Duck Assist also now supports…
ArmorCode, this week at the Black Hat USA 2025 conference, revealed it has extended its Anya artificial intelligence (AI) tool to generate suggested code fixes that are customized for specific runtime environments.At the same time, ArmorCode is adding a software supply chain module to provide visibility into the usage of software components in a way that surfaces quality metrics, security posture assessments and health indicators to identify risks. The module also automates the generation of composite software bill of materials (SBOMs) via integration with the Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX) format that is needed to comply with, for example, the Cyber…
The textile world is undergoing a transformation, one where creativity meets computation, and tradition dances with technology. Artificial intelligence is not just automating processes; it is unlocking new dimensions of design, sustainability, and personalization. Here are the five most exciting trends I am watching closely as AI continues to reshape the fabric of our future.Smart Textiles That Think for ThemselvesGone are the days when fabric was passive. Today’s smart textiles are embedded with sensors and responsive fibers that adapt to your body and environment. AI algorithms interpret data from these materials to adjust temperature, posture, and even hydration levels. See how…
This is Part 2 of our MCP Horror Stories series, an in-depth look at real-world security incidents exposing the vulnerabilities in AI infrastructure, and how the Docker MCP Toolkit delivers enterprise-grade protection. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) promised to be the “USB-C for AI applications” – a universal standard enabling AI agents like ChatGPT, Claude, and GitHub Copilot to safely connect to any tool or service. From reading emails and updating databases to managing Kubernetes clusters and sending Slack messages, MCP creates a standardized bridge between AI applications and the real world. But as we discovered in Part 1 of…
The TOML (Tom’s Obvious Minimal Language) format came out in 2013, so it’s been around for more than a decade. Python added support for TOML in Python 3.11 with its tomllib module in the standard library. However, unlike some of Python’s other standard libraries, such as jsonor its XML-related libraries, the tomllib library is only for reading, not writing. To create TOML documents in Python, you will need a third-party TOML package, such as tomlkit or toml. Many Python developers use TOML as their configuration format of choice. In fact, you will find that most popular Python packages use a…
AI coding assistants are rapidly changing how developers write software, with Gartner predicting that 75% of enterprise developers will be using them by 2028. This monumental shift is redefining the developer’s role — evolving it from code writer to system guide, validator and integrator. At the center of this transformation is a buzz-worthy practice we all know as “vibe coding”: using AI to translate high-level ideas into working code quickly. It’s a powerful method for rapid experimentation, but as it moves from experimentation to the enterprise, it brings significant risks. The opportunity to accelerate innovation is here, but to seize it,…

PlayerZero has extended its namesake platform that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze codebases by adding the ability to simulate code created using generative AI coding tools.Fresh off raising an additional $15 million in funding, PlayerZero CEO Animesh Koratana said CodeSim makes it possible to predict how that code will impact a codebase without having to rely on legacy testing tools that were created for a previous era of application development.PlayerZero has developed a platform that makes use of AI agents to analyze a codebase, its history, the tickets created, runtime telemetry, documentation and user analytics. The code simulation capability…
