An Introduction to Disaster Recovery Testing in 2026
Disaster recovery (DR) testing has become a continuous discipline in 2026 as cyber‑attacks, cloud outages, and supply‑chain disruptions threaten uptime. Modern platforms combine automation, AI, and chaos engineering to turn once‑a‑year fire drills into frequent, low‑risk validations. The article outlines...
Your Repo Is a Knowledge Graph. You Just Don't Query It Yet
The article argues that traditional source‑code management (SCM) must evolve into Source Context Management to support AI agents throughout the software development lifecycle. It highlights how agents currently scrape files, leading to context‑window bloat and semantic blindness, and proposes a...

The Agent-Native Repo: Why AGENTS.MD Is the New Standard
The article introduces AGENTS.md as a standardized, tool‑agnostic instruction file that makes code repositories agent‑native. It argues that AI coding agents fail mainly due to ambiguous repository context, not reasoning limits, and that a dedicated AGENTS.md layer solves fragmentation across...
Harness Evolves Chaos Engineering to Resilience Testing
Harness announced the evolution of its Chaos Engineering module into a broader Resilience Testing platform, adding native load and disaster‑recovery testing capabilities. The new suite builds on the open‑source LitmusChaos project and Harness’s 2022 acquisition of Chaos Native, integrating AI‑driven...
Move Harness Projects Between Orgs Without Starting Over
Harness has introduced Project Movement, a feature that lets users transfer entire projects between organizations with a few clicks. The migration preserves pipelines, execution history, services, environments, and most configuration artifacts, eliminating the need to rebuild setups after org restructures....
