The Invisible Wall: Why Secured Apps Break Test Automation
Modern mobile apps are more protected than ever. And that’s a good thing. But there’s a side effect many teams don’t realize until it’s too late: the stronger the security, the harder the app becomes to test with automation. App shielding, anti-tampering, certificate pinning, and runtime checks are designed to stop attackers. Yet very often,…

AI in Software Testing: Hype, Reality, and Where Teams Actually See ROI
If you believe the marketing brochures, AI is about to fix your broken tests, write your new ones, and maybe even pass that one flaky test that only fails on Fridays. But if you talk to the engineers actually using it, the story is different. The reality of 2025 is that AI has moved from…
The Myth of “Secure by Design”
I’ve talked with security leaders who believe their mobile apps are protected. They’re not wrong about what they’ve done—they’re wrong about what it protects against. In recent conversations, I’ve heard three confident defenses: “Our backend is architected correctly.” They’ve implemented separation of concerns, layered API security, authentication at every step. They followed the playbook. “Our…
Platform Engineering, IDPs, and Golden Paths
Introduction: Platform Engineering in Software Development Organizations are faced with fragmentation, inefficiencies, and scaling challenges, which lead to inconsistent processes, duplicated efforts, and technical debt. Additionally, the lack of standardization and governance makes it difficult to ensure security, maintainability, and scalability in software delivery. As a result, platform engineering delivers Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) to…
The Accessibility Gap: Why Compliance Alone Isn’t Enough
How enterprises confuse “scan-based compliance” with true accessibility and why real-user validation is critical. The “Green Checkmark” Illusion Imagine a familiar moment in a modern product team: a release is approaching, the CI/CD pipeline runs, automated accessibility tests pass, and the dashboard lights up green. The Product Manager signs off, confident the experience is ADA/EAA-compliant….
Improving Mobile Game Trust with Protections for Unity
Popular mobile games are under constant attack from threat actors trying to cheat in multiplayer games, bypass DLC purchases, bypass microtransactions, and those just trying to prove they could hack a game. Cheating reduces player trust and leads to fewer users, which reduces revenue and investment into a game. Unity Among Mobile Game Apps To…
How to Meet Compliance Requirements for Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
The moment a mobile app enters the vehicle environment, it stops being just an app, it becomes part of a regulated, safety-critical system. Whether it’s navigation, media, messaging, or voice interactions, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay place mobile applications inside a space governed by strict rules designed to protect the driver and preserve consistency across…
Securing Modern Applications: White-Box Cryptography and OWASP MASVS in Practice
OWASP recently released the OWASP Top 10:2025, the industry’s most widely used snapshot of the most critical application security risks. This latest edition shows a clear shift in priorities: Supply Chain Attacks have risen to third place, while Cryptographic Failures have moved down to fourth. The OWASP community survey also placed Supply Chain Attacks as…
