LinkedIn’s AI Tester Sees Bugs – StartupHub.ai

LinkedIn is rethinking software quality with its new AI Quality Assurance (QA) Agent. The platform, used by 1.3 billion members across iOS, Android, and Web, faces immense complexity with countless user permutations. Traditional testing methods struggle to keep pace, especially with the rise of agentic coding tools. The sheer scale of LinkedIn's UI, not one app, but thousands of combinations based on user type, language, and experiments, means features can regress silently. While employee bug reports help, manual exploration doesn't scale. This led LinkedIn to build an autonomous digital tester. Related startups Beyond Scripts: Vision-Language Models Traditional automation relies on brittle code selectors. VLMs, however, 'see' the screen, understanding text, icons, and hierarchy. This decouples testing from underlying code changes. The QA Agent employs a multi-model approach for different cognitive tasks. One model handles high-level planning, deciding the next action based on screenshots and goals. Another model performs analytical reasoning for error detection and bug reporting. A third, fine-tuned model handles visual grounding, translating natural language instructions like 'Tap the Apply button' into precise screen coordinates for execution. Agent Architecture: System 1 and System 2 To balance AI costs with performance, LinkedIn adopted a hybrid architecture inspired by human cognition:

Microsoft Advertising adds job seniority to LinkedIn profile targeting – PPC Land

Microsoft Advertising today extended its LinkedIn Profile targeting feature to include job seniority as a targeting dimension, adding a new layer of professional-identity filtering to both Search and Audience ads campaigns. The update, announced by Navah Hopkins, Microsoft Ads Liaison and international speaker, makes it possible for advertisers to narrow their reach not just by company, job function, or industry - but now by where a person sits in an organisational hierarchy. The feature introduces 10 standardised job seniority levels drawn from LinkedIn member profile data: CXO, VP, Director, Manager, Senior, Entry, Owner, Partner, Training, and Volunteer. These levels are accessible at both the campaign and ad group level within Microsoft Advertising settings, giving advertisers the option to apply seniority targeting broadly across a campaign or to segment creative and messaging more granularly by audience tier within a single campaign structure. What the 10 seniority levels mean in practice The taxonomy itself warrants attention. The 10 categories cover a wide spectrum, from C-suite executives under the CXO label to entry-level employees and volunteers. Owner and Partner occupy distinct classifications separate from the executive CXO category, which matters for advertisers targeting founders or professional services firms where ownership and decision-making authority may not map onto a conventional

LinkedIn call-up leads to World Cup debut for Cape Verde – TNW

TL;DR Roberto ‘Pico’ Lopes, a Dublin-born Shamrock Rovers defender, was scouted for Cape Verde’s national team via a LinkedIn message he initially dismissed as a prank.

Special Report: Saab increases production as Sweden scopes threats – Janes

A fully automated Saab production line for tubes for AT4 infantry support weapons, part of new investments by the Saab Dynamics business area. (Saab) Sweden is facing the need for adaptation and is examining defence industrial capacity as potential lessons from current conflicts become more apparent, figures from Saab and the Swedish Armed Forces have told Janes . Major General Jonny Lindfors, chief of army of the Swedish Armed Forces, said during a media briefing in May 2026 that Sweden was backfilling its stockpiles after the peace dividend and amid donations of equipment to Ukraine. Specific areas of capability investment include wet gap crossing and mobility within Sweden, Maj Gen Lindfors said. Another is creating a modern anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) bubble in the Baltic. Both the internal national mobility for forces and the A2/AD bubble are part of increased focus on defending Sweden, Finland, and Norway (from 7 March 2024 all NATO members) from a potential Russian invasion. Maj Gen Lindfors no longer sees such an invasion as remote a possibility as he did before 2022. Sweden has around 60,000 full time soldiers and around 20,000 in the home guard. Should it come, Maj Gen Lindfors said, “we need to learn
