The Digital Omnibus gave healthtech teams more time on paper. In practice, if you’re building AI into a medical device, the work was already overdue. On June 29, 2026, the Council of the EU formally approved the Digital Omnibus package, pushing the compliance deadline for high-risk AI systems from August 2, 2026 to December 2027, or August 2028 for AI embedded in products […]

We’ve built two production mental health platforms under both regulatory regimes. Mentalyc – an AI-powered therapy documentation tool operating under HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II in the US. Selfapy – a CBT-based digital therapeutics platform certified under BSI IT-Grundschutz in Germany, with over 120 individual security requirements met before launch. Here is what building under both frameworks actually […]

What this article covers: The specific challenges of test automation for AI healthcare applications, including HIPAA-compliant test environments, testing audio processing and AI-generated output, BDD implementation for regulated products, and CI/CD pipelines for health apps. Includes a real case from building a QA framework for Mentalyc, an AI-powered therapy documentation platform. What is test automation for AI […]

Most articles about reviewing AI-generated code start with a checklist. This one starts earlier with the question every checklist skips: should you even be reading this code at all? I know what you’re thinking. But before you answer „obviously” picture a typical Tuesday on a team with high AI adoption. Cursor generates a PR. Then another. Then three more, because someone ran an […]

End-to-end testing is a crucial aspect of software quality assurance, especially when it comes to developing web applications. Among the available end-to-end testing tool, Playwright and Cypress have gained the most popularity, setting new standards in this field. In this article, we will take a detailed look at both frameworks, compare their strengths and weaknesses, and determine which one might be the better […]

BDD, also known as Behavior Driven Development, represents a revolution in the approach to software development, enabling much better communication and collaboration between technical and business teams. At least in theory. But what is it like in practice? Let’s find out! Software development methodology and main principles of BDD Transforming business requirements into precise descriptions of system behavior – this is the […]

In the digital era, where complex applications and systems are omnipresent, the ability to track their state and behavior becomes not only useful, but essential. Application observability and monitoring are key components, that allow fireup.pro engineers and IT specialists to: These two terms, although often used interchangeably, have subtle differences and serve different purposes. Let’s delve into […]

We present the interview with Gosia (a front-end developer) and Patrycja (a QA tester) who share their career stories and debunk the myths about the role of women in IT. They talk about the women-men stereotypes and point out what’s really crucial for bearing a successful career in the tech world.

Bringing innovation to software testing helps in delivering the highest quality code and developing better digital products. Piotr (QA Engineer) will present the innovations in the area of automated testing that are worth following in 2023.

Most Startups fail because they overlook basic business challenges and rush to market. Product designers and investors desire speedy development, but it’s essential to strike a balance, especially considering unavoidable software bugs.
