TestMu AI Launches the Assurance Lifecycle in Kane CLI, Turning Requirement Documents into Provable Test Coverage
New assurance commands design tests directly from PRDs and specs, link every test permanently to the requirement it verifies, and measure coverage from sealed evidence instead of guesswork
SAN FRANCISCO and NOIDA, India, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the world’s first Agentic AI-powered Quality Engineering platform, announced the Assurance Lifecycle, a new set of commands in Kane CLI that extend the tool beyond authoring and replaying browser tests. With assurance, teams describe what their product must do, and Kane CLI designs the tests that prove it, each one permanently linked to the requirement it verifies, with coverage measured from sealed evidence and the suite reconciled as the product changes.
TestMu AI launched Kane CLI in April 2026 as a terminal-native browser automation tool built for both human developers and AI coding agents, including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, and Gemini CLI. Operating on plain-language intent rather than selectors, Kane CLI lets teams describe a flow and get a pass-or-fail verdict with a full step trace and screenshot, export flows to native Playwright code, and run headlessly in CI pipelines. Since launch, it has added AI-powered test case generation through kane-cli generate, which turns a one-line description into scenarios and test cases. The Assurance Lifecycle is the next step: tests that are derived from the actual requirement documents, not just from a prompt.
Most test suites still answer the wrong question. They report how many tests passed, not which requirements were verified. Tests drift from the specs that inspired them, coverage becomes a guess, and when a requirement changes, nobody knows which tests went stale. The Assurance Lifecycle takes on the step before and after execution: turning requirements into designed tests, and turning test runs into an auditable account of what was proved.
How the Assurance Lifecycle works:
- Capture: kane-cli context ingest snapshots requirement documents — a PRD, a spec, a policy page, into a local, content-addressed store.
- Extract: An agent reads the sources and proposes use cases, citing the exact lines it read.
- Review: Teams promote proposals to trusted, edit them, or reject them. Everything an agent proposes starts as derived; nothing is silently trusted.
- Design: kane-cli design tests turns a use-case into acceptance criteria, scenarios, and runnable tests — exactly one test per scenario, each tagged with the criteria it verifies. Design output goes through the same review.
- Execute: Designed tests run through kane-cli testmd run and kane-cli testrun run; every run seals an evidence pack.
- Measure: kane-cli cover reports two axes — what a run proved and what the design still owes. Missing coverage is recorded as a ranked gap, not silence.
- Maintain: kane-cli maintain reconciles the suite when a source document changes, marking everything extracted from the old snapshot as stale until it is re-verified.
Every stage is a separate command, so teams can stop, review, and resume at any point; nothing downstream happens without the upstream commit. The assurance store lives in the project directory, is append-only with a replayable history, and stays local: sources, use-cases, designs, and review verdicts live on the developer’s disk, not on a server. The full lifecycle runs headless in CI or from an AI agent, so an agent can build a feature, design tests against the spec, and report coverage in the same workflow.
The Assurance Lifecycle complements kane-cli generate rather than replacing it. Teams that want ten good test ideas in a minute start with generate; teams that have a PRD and need to answer ‘what exactly is covered, and how do we know?’ start with assurance.
“AI agents now write code faster than any team can verify it, and the gap between the two is validation debt. Kane CLI closed the first part of that gap in April by giving agents and developers a real browser and a pass-or-fail verdict. The Assurance Lifecycle closes the rest,” said Mudit Singh, Co-Founder and Head of Growth, TestMu AI. “A green suite has never told you what it actually proved. Now every test traces back to the requirement it verifies, every run seals its evidence, and coverage becomes an account you can audit rather than a number you hope is true. When a spec changes, the suite tells you what went stale instead of quietly rotting. That is what assurance has to mean at agentic speed.”
The Assurance Lifecycle is available today in Kane CLI 0.6.1 and later; existing users can upgrade via npm or Homebrew. The extract, design, and maintain-reconcile steps run on the KaneAI agent and consume credits, while review, coverage, and store operations are local and free.

Bybit Indonesia Supports Post-Flood Education Recovery in North Sumatra
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit Indonesia, a locally regulated entity operating under the supervision of the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK), has provided support to restore education facilities and access to clean water for communities affected by the floods that hit parts of Sumatra in November 2025, in partnership with Indonesian fundraising platform Kitabisa.
The initiative spans three programs: the restoration of learning facilities at two schools in Kabupaten Langkat, North Sumatra; Yayasan Pendidikan Rahman El-Manaf Bubun and SDN 057239 Sekoci, and the construction of a borewell to restore clean water access for flood-affected communities in Desa Balee Panah, Kabupaten Bireuen, Aceh.
“Helping communities recover from a disaster requires sustained collaboration and an understanding of local needs. We appreciate Bybit Indonesia’s support in helping restore school facilities in Langkat. Through this partnership, we hope to support students and teachers as they return to their daily learning activities and help families regain a sense of stability. Schools play an important role in community life, and their recovery deserves continued attention.” said Vikra Ijas, Co-Founder and CEO of Kitabisa.
Restoring Learning Spaces at Yayasan Pendidikan Rahman El-Manaf Bubun
Located in Desa Bubun, Kecamatan Tanjung Pura, Kabupaten Langkat, the school serves around 187 students from elementary through high school levels, supported by 17 teachers. The area is also vulnerable to tidal flooding, adding to the challenges faced by the local community and school.
The support from Bybit Indonesia and Kitabisa covers improvements to the school’s physical facilities, including floor repairs, renovation of learning areas, repainting, supporting installations, and the provision of essential classroom equipment such as desks, chairs and whiteboards.
For Yayasan Pendidikan Rahman El-Manaf Bubun, maintaining access to education is particularly important for families in the surrounding community. Many parents work as fishermen and farmers, while the school continues to provide education without imposing tuition fees or additional charges on students.
Extending Support to SDN 057239 Sekoci
Also in Kabupaten Langkat, the initiative extends to SDN 057239 Sekoci, where around 90 students and 10 teachers have benefited from facility restoration following flood damage.
Support at the school includes repairs to flooring and ceilings, repainting, electrical installation, and repairs to doors, windows and ventilation, along with the refurbishment of supporting spaces such as the library and a dedicated religious studies room. Bybit Indonesia also provided classroom learning equipment needed to support day-to-day teaching.
Restoring Access to Clean Water in Aceh
Beyond the education sector, meeting communities’ basic needs has been a key focus of the recovery process. The floods damaged clean water supply infrastructure in several areas, leaving some communities struggling to access water for daily needs.
As part of its disaster donation efforts, Bybit Indonesia, together with Kitabisa, has supported the construction of a borewell in Desa Balee Panah, Kecamatan Juli, Kabupaten Bireuen, Aceh, with the process underway since July 2026. The program is expected to benefit around 125 households, or more than 400 individuals, restoring access to clean water for daily needs such as drinking, cooking, washing, and other community activities.
“Education has always been an important part of Bybit’s journey, both in Indonesia and globally. When we saw the impact of the floods in Sumatra, we wanted to look at how we could make a practical contribution to the recovery — not only for children who need a safe and suitable place to learn, but also for families who need reliable access to clean water,” said Lawrence Samantha, CEO of Bybit Indonesia. “Through our collaboration with Kitabisa, we’ve been able to direct support to where it’s needed most, so communities can continue their daily lives in a better environment. Recovery takes time, and we hope this support contributes to the community’s longer-term recovery.”
Building Resilience Through Local Support
The initiative reflects Bybit Indonesia’s broader approach to community engagement, with education and local community support forming part of its social impact efforts.
Working with local partners such as Kitabisa allows the company to direct support toward communities with specific and immediate needs. In the case of Yayasan Pendidikan Rahman El-Manaf Bubun, improving school facilities provides practical support for students, teachers and families as the wider community continues to recover from the effects of the floods.
Bybit Indonesia will continue to explore opportunities to support education and community resilience in Indonesia, alongside its ongoing focus on responsible participation in the country’s digital asset ecosystem.

Fifty Founders and Investors, One Invitation-Only Trip to Kashmir, and No Conventional Conference Format: The Charter and Secret Bring Startup Leaders Together in Sonmarg
MUMBAI, India, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Charter and Secret, the team behind Gulmarg’s invitation-only Secret Ski Party, brought together fifty founders, investors, senior entrepreneurs and cultural voices in Sonmarg, Kashmir, for a three-day gathering designed around peer interaction, informal conversation and the relationships that can emerge when conventional conference structures are removed.
The Secret Charter brought together two complementary approaches to building entrepreneurial communities: The Charter’s curated founder network and Secret’s decade of experience creating small, hosted environments around a shared pursuit. The Charter selected who belonged in the room, while Secret designed the environment itself, drawing on a practice that began with the Secret Ski Party in Gulmarg in 2016 and has since expanded to the Secret Serve Party in the Seychelles.
Devarsh Saraf, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, The Charter, said, “Founders spend much of their professional lives in structured environments: meetings, conferences, investor conversations, public forums. We wanted to create a setting where those structures could be removed for a few days, and people could simply spend time with one another. The idea was not to replace the traditional founder event, but to create a different kind of environment for relationships and conversations to develop.”
The gathering extended The Charter’s wider approach to building founder networks. Entry to The Secret Charter was by nomination only, with twenty-five of the fifty places nominated through The Charter’s founder network and the remaining places nominated directly by Secret. There was no application form and no public route into the gathering. The result was a deliberately curated group designed to bring together people who could create connections across sectors, stages and disciplines.
The 50-person cohort comprised 25 founders between seed and Series B, 10 investors, five cultural voices and 10 senior founders who had built companies at scale. The mix brought together entrepreneurs at different points in their journeys alongside investors and leaders from outside the conventional startup ecosystem, creating the conditions for relationships that could extend beyond the three-day gathering into partnerships, collaborations, business opportunities and stronger entrepreneurial networks.
Krishan Anand, Founder, Secret, said, “Before Secret, I spent several years building CEO summits, at the Four Seasons Mumbai, the Leela Bangalore, the Leela Delhi. Three hundred of the most senior people in Indian business, in one ballroom, at enormous cost. They worked perfectly. And nothing happened. Ballrooms are built for facing a stage, and nobody has ever said anything true while facing a stage. The Secret Charter removed the stage. There was no keynote and no panel, and pitching was treated as bad manners. The room was composed before a single invitation went out, and then the room was left alone. That was the entire idea.”
The choice of Sonmarg was central to the format. Over the three-day gathering, participants took part in a glacier walk, fly fishing and mountain biking, alongside riverside meals and informal gatherings. The programme concluded with a traditional Wazwan and a Sufi mehfil. Rather than filling the schedule with presentations and structured networking, the setting created distance from the pace of everyday professional life and gave participants time to interact naturally.
For The Charter, the objective was not simply to bring fifty people together for three days, but to create the foundations for relationships that could continue to generate value after the gathering. Since returning from Kashmir, members have publicly shared plans to visit one another in their respective cities, extended personal invitations and continued conversations that began in the valley. Those interactions point to the broader ambition behind the format: creating trusted connections between entrepreneurs that can evolve into partnerships, collaborations, knowledge-sharing and new channels for growth.
The initial cohort of fifty will form the founding group for future editions of The Secret Charter, with the gathering intended to become a recurring platform for bringing together entrepreneurs, investors and influential voices across India’s startup and business ecosystem.
About The Charter
The Charter is one of India’s largest private startup communities, bringing together a curated membership of 550 founders, investors and creators across Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi.
Built around the belief that meaningful entrepreneurial relationships are built through trust rather than transactional networking, The Charter is a private membership community for founders who have moved beyond product-market fit, investors at principal and partner level, and creators who contribute to the wider entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Membership is deliberately curated, with a waitlist of more than 55,000 people seeking access to the community. The Charter creates opportunities for members to build relationships across industries and stages of company-building through curated gatherings, peer connections and experiences designed to foster long-term engagement.
The community’s focus extends beyond fundraising and business introductions. By bringing together accomplished founders, experienced investors and influential creators in a trusted environment, The Charter aims to create the relationships that can lead to partnerships, collaborations, knowledge-sharing and new growth opportunities for its members.
The Charter currently operates across three Indian cities — Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi — with plans to deepen its presence across India’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and build stronger connections between its members over the long term.

Spinnaker Support Launches PostgreSQL Offerings to Help Enterprises Move Beyond Oracle Database Dependency
Support Oracle today, define the right path forward, and modernize without new lock-in
DENVER, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Spinnaker Support, the third-party software support leader trusted by more than 1,300 organizations in 104 countries, today announced new PostgreSQL offerings designed to help enterprises reduce Oracle database dependency, modernize at their own pace, and move toward a standard PostgreSQL destination without new vendor lock-in.
Oracle database costs and support pressures continue to climb, and Postgres is becoming an increasingly important destination for organizations seeking greater flexibility and control. According to the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, 55.6% of developers reported using Postgres, more than any other database. Spinnaker’s PostgreSQL offerings give customers a way to begin modernizing selected workloads, expand future flexibility, and reduce Oracle database dependency without disrupting the critical systems their business still depends on.
“Organizations want greater flexibility as they modernize their database environments, but they should not have to sacrifice enterprise-grade assurance or trade one proprietary dependency for another,” said Matt Stava, CEO of Spinnaker Support. “Our new PostgreSQL offerings give customers a trusted, lower-risk path to standard, non-proprietary PostgreSQL, backed by 24×7 mission-critical support, security guidance, and deep technical expertise. This is an important step in expanding the Spinnaker OpenPath™ framework and strengthens our ability to support customers across their existing technology environments, modernization initiatives, and emerging AI workloads.”
The announcement includes two primary offerings, along with continued development of an enterprise distribution for PostgreSQL:
- Enterprise Software Support for PostgreSQL – Delivers 24×7 enterprise software support for standard PostgreSQL and vetted open-source components across on-premises, virtualized, containerized, and cloud environments including break/fix support, troubleshooting, security guidance, performance and configuration support, and lifecycle guidance.
- Assessment and Migration Services for PostgreSQL, powered by HexaCluster – Helps organizations evaluate workload fit, analyze Oracle database dependencies, automate and accelerate conversion where appropriate, validate production readiness, and execute controlled cutovers with rollback planning.
The service uses HexaRocket, HexaCluster’s migration, data movement, and replication technology, to help accelerate and reduce risk in Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migrations. HexaCluster brings database modernization expertise and contributes technology across the PostgreSQL ecosystem.
Spinnaker also confirmed that it is developing an enterprise distribution for PostgreSQL that is not yet generally available and is being built around standard PostgreSQL and vetted open-source components. The goal is to give customers a more curated, enterprise-ready PostgreSQL destination while maintaining long-term portability, architectural control, and freedom from proprietary forks or closed compatibility layers.
Unlike providers that address only one stage of the transition, Spinnaker is positioned to support the Oracle database environment customers run today, help them assess the right PostgreSQL path workload by workload, and provide accountable support for the PostgreSQL environments they operate next.
What Enterprises Gain
- Lower-risk migration: Move critical Oracle database workloads to PostgreSQL through a controlled, workload-by-workload approach.
- Greater financial flexibility: Redirect resources from proprietary database costs toward modernization and innovation.
- End-to-end technical continuity: Bridge the journey from initial assessment and migration through production readiness and 24×7 PostgreSQL support.
- Enterprise security and compliance support: Strengthen PostgreSQL environments with security guidance, vulnerability analysis, hardening recommendations, and compensating controls.
- Accountable service levels: Gain responsive, enterprise-grade support backed by defined SLAs and experienced PostgreSQL specialists.
Spinnaker also announced the promotion of Martin Biggs to vice president and general manager, PostgreSQL Practice. In this role, Biggs will lead the teams supporting Spinnaker’s PostgreSQL offerings, including Enterprise Software Support for PostgreSQL, Assessment and Migration Services for PostgreSQL, and the development of Spinnaker’s enterprise distribution for PostgreSQL.
“In conversations with some of the world’s largest and most complex Oracle database users, we continue to hear the same thing: organizations want the freedom, control, and modernization potential of Postgres, but they need a partner that can help them move responsibly,” said Martin Biggs, “What makes Spinnaker different is that we can support the Oracle database environment customers run today, help define the right path forward, and support the PostgreSQL destination without forcing a premature decision or a new form of lock-in.”
Spinnaker’s PostgreSQL offerings align with the same Run, Optimize, Transform structure the company applies across Oracle, SAP, JD Edwards, and VMware. Together, these capabilities help organizations reduce vendor dependency, expand choice, and build a more flexible path to long-term modernization. Learn more about Spinnaker’s PostgreSQL offerings.

Spinnaker Support delivers independent third-party support and expert services for Oracle, SAP, VMware and PostgreSQL environments. Its global support and maintenance, and open-source modernization solutions help organizations run, optimize and transform enterprise technology environments.

Treon IQ: The New Industrial AI That Automates Operational Understanding and Recommends Actions
DALLAS, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Treon Inc. today announced Treon IQ, a next-generation industrial AI capability that brings situational understanding to the company’s market-leading Treon Connect Prescriptive Maintenance cloud platform. Instead of spending valuable time investigating dashboards, correlating data, and determining next steps, maintenance organizations can rely on Treon IQ to continuously analyze operational conditions, diagnose issues, identify optimization opportunities, and recommend actions. By transforming asset intelligence into continuous operational understanding and guided execution, Treon IQ helps teams resolve issues faster, improve consistency, and operate with expert-level insight across sites, fleets, and facilities.
Bringing Industrial Understanding to the Next Level
Industrial maintenance workflows remain heavily dependent on human-led analysis and decision-making. While asset monitoring and fault detection have become largely automated, understanding what is happening and what should be done next still relies on human expertise. The result is often slow, costly, inconsistent, and difficult to scale.
Building AI systems capable of performing these tasks autonomously is equally challenging. Developing in-house diagnostic and recommendation models requires vast amounts of data, training, and computing resources. Horizontal AI layers depend on third-party sensor data, limiting their reasoning capabilities, while general-purpose large language models (LLMs) often lack the industrial context required for reliable operational decisions.
Introducing Treon IQ
Treon IQ extends the Treon Connect platform with an AI engine that automatically transforms asset data into continuous situational understanding.
The solution analyzes data from real-time and historical asset intelligence and other sources such as CMMS and ERP systems. It detects and diagnoses issues, uncovers optimization opportunities, explains root causes, and generates actionable recommendations for fast and consistent resolution.
Treon IQ combines the company’s proprietary anomaly detection technology, next-generation deep-learning diagnostic models, and carefully selected LLMs into a unified framework. High-precision wireless sensors within the vertically integrated Treon Connect platform provide deep visibility into asset behavior, creating a stronger foundation for accurate diagnostics and recommendations than horizontal AI approaches that lack in-depth asset intelligence.
Instead of relying on alerts, vibration data, and condition-monitoring dashboards, Treon IQ introduces an AI-powered companion that provides maintenance managers with a continuously updated operational briefing summarizing site status, active issues, optimization opportunities, and prioritized actions, eliminating the need to spend valuable time investigating data and dashboards.
From Asset Intelligence to Operational Understanding
As a result, Treon IQ delivers accurate, reliable, and scalable operational understanding while maintaining optimized computing resources and predictable costs. By automating analysis, diagnosis, and recommendations, companies can improve consistency, accelerate resolution, and provide maintenance teams with expert-level guidance every day.
“Industrial AI should do more than detect anomalies. It should help maintenance teams understand what’s happening and confidently decide what to do next,” said Joni Korppi, CEO of Treon. “With Treon IQ, maintenance managers no longer need to start their day chasing alerts and investigating dashboards. Instead, they can begin each day with a complete understanding of their operational situation, key priorities, and the plan for the day, delivered automatically through an AI-powered companion in Treon Connect.”
Availability of Treon IQ
An early-access version of Treon IQ is now available for Treon Make and Treon Flow customers, including tailored AI-powered companion functionalities for maintenance managers. Additional features will be introduced as new capabilities become available.
Treon IQ Demonstrated at IMTS 2026
Treon is introducing and demonstrating Treon IQ for the first time at IMTS 2026, taking place September 14-19, 2026, at McCormick Place in Chicago, showcasing how an AI-powered companion transforms a maintenance manager’s work from investigating dashboards to understanding operational situations and confidently deciding what to do next.
