How can you test your code when you don’t know what’s in it?

from The Stack Overflow Podcast

Ryan hosts SmartBear’s VP of AI and Architecture Fitz Nowlan to explore how we’re moving away from old assumptions about software development, the challenges of testing MCP servers as LLM-driven agents introduce non-determinism that breaks tradition, and how data locality and data construction are becoming more valuable when source code is so easy to generate. Episode notes: SmartBear gives devs tools for application performance monitoring, software development, software testing, and API management—all at AI speed and scale.
