GenAI-Driven Automation Testing in Mainframe Modernization

Aggregated on: 2024-01-05 03:16:44

The migration of mainframe application code and data to contemporary technologies represents a pivotal phase in the evolution of information technology systems, particularly in the pursuit of enhancing efficiency and scalability. This transition, which often involves shifting from legacy mainframe environments to more flexible cloud-based or on-premises solutions, is not merely a technical relocation of resources; it is a fundamental transformation that necessitates rigorous testing to ensure functionality equivalence. The objective is to ascertain those applications, once running on mainframe systems, maintain their operational integrity and performance standards when transferred to modernized platforms. This process of migration is further complicated by the dynamic nature of business environments. Post-migration, applications frequently undergo numerous modifications driven by new requirements, evolving business strategies, or changes in regulatory standards. Each modification, whether it’s a minor adjustment or a major overhaul, must be meticulously tested. The critical challenge lies in ensuring that these new changes harmoniously integrate with the existing functionalities, without inducing unintended consequences or disruptions. This dual requirement of validating new features and safeguarding existing functionalities underscores the complexity of post-migration automation test suite maintenance.

Policy Enforcement and Data Quality for Apache Kafka With Schema Registry

Aggregated on: 2024-01-04 20:31:44

Good data quality is one of the most critical requirements in decoupled architectures, like microservices or data mesh. Apache Kafka became the de facto standard for these architectures. But Kafka is a dumb broker that only stores byte arrays. The Schema Registry enforces message structures. This blog post looks at enhancements to leverage data contracts for policies and rules to enforce good data quality on field-level and advanced use cases like routing malicious messages to a dead letter queue. From Point-To-Point and Spaghetti To Decoupled Microservices With Apache Kafka Point-to-point HTTP / REST APIs create tightly coupled services. Data lakes and lakehouses enforce a monolithic architecture instead of open-minded data sharing and choosing the best technology for a problem. Hence, Apache Kafka became the de facto standard for microservice and data mesh architectures. Data streaming with Kafka is complementary (not competitive!) to APIs, data lakes/lakehouses, and other data platforms.

Use pgvector With PostgreSQL To Improve LLM Accuracy and Performance

Aggregated on: 2024-01-04 20:01:44

If you’re not yet familiar with the open-source pgvector extension for PostgreSQL, now’s the time to do so. The tool is extremely helpful for searching text data fast, without needing a specialized database to store embeddings. Embeddings represent word similarity and are stored as vectors (a list of numbers). For example, the words “tree” and “bush” are related more closely than “tree” and “automobile.” The open-source pgvector tool makes it possible to search for closely related vectors and find text with the same semantic meaning. This is a major advance for text-based data, and an especially valuable tool for building Large Language Models (LLMs)... and who isn’t right now?

Leverage AWS Textract Service for Intelligent Invoice Processing in Account Payables Testing

Aggregated on: 2024-01-04 15:31:44

In modern ERP systems, invoice creation and processing is a well-defined process and automated to an extent across organizations. Despite that, every organization has its own set of standard operating procedures that require tweaks/enhancements. There are intelligent document recognition software like Kofax, Oracle Intelligent Document Recognition (IDR), which offer the built features using AI and ML capabilities to identify the text and images on the invoices sent by the vendors to be paid, which are usually in the pdf format. There is no specific invoice layout or template that is followed, which leads to multiple variations in terms of layout and template differences, adding up the complexity for the built-in features not able to identify certain fonts, data inside the HTML tables, etc., leading to partial data entry causing the invoice entry operator to manually review and update the missing fields for each invoice.  Invoices are emailed as PDF attachments to a dedicated Inbox setup to receive the incoming invoices from the vendors directly. It is advisable to segregate the inboxes based on the geographic location of the vendor and business units so they can be scheduled to auto-import and create invoices with the invoice details auto-populated.

Zero Trust in API Management

Aggregated on: 2024-01-04 12:46:44

In our digital age, the role of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) in business is more crucial than ever. These APIs allow companies to be innovative, grow quickly, and adapt their services. But, as much as APIs are vital, they also bring a new set of challenges, especially in security. This is why the concept of "Zero Trust" in managing API security is gaining momentum, representing a fundamental change in how companies safeguard their digital assets. Why Is Enhanced Security Necessary for APIs?  APIs are the unsung heroes of the digital world, connecting different software and services. However, with their widespread use comes an increased risk of security breaches. Traditional security methods, which mainly focus on protecting the network's perimeter, are no longer effective. Cyber threats today can come from anywhere, even from within an organization. Hence, a new approach is needed, and Zero Trust fits this need perfectly. It is a model where trust is not a given; it has to be earned and verified, regardless of whether a request comes from inside or outside the network.
