Aggregated on: Thu Mar 17 2022 21:05:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Today's software companies maintain a lot of projects and to keep development and deployment activities keep go on for each team without any friction, CICD comes into the picture. Generally, in software development, we create two separate environments for a product: UAT and Prod. UAT is the deployment setup, which is meant for User acceptance testing and is generally used by alpha testers, developers, product managers, and internal folks of a company. On the other hand, Prod is the production environment that is used by users.

What Is End-to-End Testing?

Aggregated on: Thu Mar 17 2022 21:05:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

End-to-end testing, or E2E testing, is a type of performance test go-through during the cycle of mobile app development. All of the functionalities of the product are tested from one end to another to ensure that the entire application flow functions without setbacks. In fact, one of the primary goals of E2E testing is to provide makers with context about the user experience. The real user experience is simulated and all the integral components are validated under test. What Are the Types of End-to-End Testing Methods? Depending on the end goal of the developers, there are two kinds of testing methods: Horizontal E2E Testing This is a testing method that tests the application across various platforms and applications. This kind of testing can be easily conducted in the purview of a single Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. It is the most well-known approach when it comes to E2E testing because it takes into account the perspective of the user. It checks whether the user is able to successfully navigate the app. Vertical E2E Testing E2E testing can also be carried out in sequential layers. This kind of testing is called vertical E2E testing since the system follows a strict vertical hierarchy. All of the different elements of the system are tested from one end to another, to ensure that proper quality is delivered. This kind of testing method is best applied to sophisticated applications that have a lot of moving parts. It is applicable for systems that don’t have user interfaces. Benefits of Conducting E2E Testing & Performance Test Mobile App There are various benefits you can take advantage of if you apply E2E testing. Apart from the basic benefit of providing a comprehensive, end-to-end test, here are the main benefits of conducting E2E testing. Reduces the Risk of Future Bugs: Properly conducted E2E tests also drastically reduce the risk of future bugs. The application is subjected to intensive testing after every iteration – thus ensuring that there are very less bugs in the future. Cost-Effectiveness & Time-Effectiveness: Properly conducted E2E testing can also increase the level of cost associated with the project. By reducing the amount of repetition, E2E testing can save you and your enterprise a lot of time and money. Expands the coverage of the Test: E2E testing also expands the coverage of the test by taking into consideration all of the sub-systems associated with the application. It’s a very enumerative form of testing that looks after the quality of each and every dimension of the application. Increases the Level of Efficiency: All of the professionals involved in the development process prefer E2E testing. Developers don’t have to worry too much about the testing process and the testers can conduct a thorough test of the product. Project managers benefit greatly from the valuable insight they receive. Summing Up To sum it up, E2E testing is a valuable form of testing that will allow your business to benefit from a comprehensive and highly developed app. When you conduct tests on your app, make sure to use E2E testing so that maximum coverage is ensured. It’ll also save you a lot of time and money.

Why You Need Both IT and OT Cybersecurity

Aggregated on: Thu Mar 17 2022 20:50:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

With cyberattacks becoming more prominent and severe in today’s society, it’s no longer sufficient to focus on only information technology (IT) or operational technology (OT) to keep systems safe. While IT concerns an organization’s online infrastructure, OT extends to the connected physical devices it uses, such as smart sensors on manufacturing equipment. You need cybersecurity for both to maintain resiliency across an organization. Here’s a closer look at why both are necessary today and for the foreseeable future.

Java Memory Architecture and Metaspace

Aggregated on: Thu Mar 17 2022 19:35:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Purpose This article discusses the basic concept of Java memory management and the basics of GC along with heap and stack memory. Garbage Collection The Java program compiles and changes into byte code and runs on a JVM (Java Virtual Machine). Objects of a Java program get created on the dedicated heap memory for that program. Over time, more objects get created and some of the objects (un-referenced and de-scoped) are no longer needed by the program. Garbage collection is the process of Java that performs automatic memory management and frees up memory space by removing the un-referenced objects.

Cross-Validation in AI and Machine Learning for Healthcare

Aggregated on: Thu Mar 17 2022 18:35:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Every time we create a machine learning model, we feed it with data to train it. Then we give the model some unlabeled data (test data) to check how well it performs and generalizes to new data. This model is stable if it works well on anonymous data, is consistent, and can forecast with high accuracy on a wide range of input data. But, this isn't always the case! Machine learning models are not always stable; thus, we must assess their stability. Cross-Validation enters the scene at this point.

B2B vs B2C Mobile Apps: How to Know the Differences in Development

Aggregated on: Thu Mar 17 2022 17:35:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

B2B vs B2C Mobile Apps: How to Know the Differences in Development Say you’re a software manufacturer and you decide to develop an app. The first thing you need to decide on is who you are going to make the app for. Who you make the app for will determine almost everything that will go into the app. This includes things like the UI/UX design, cloud server, the app’s features, its name, and even what terminology it uses. Who your target audience is will determine what category your app will be classed as. The broadest classification you can make is between business-to-consumer (B2C) apps and business-to-business (B2B) apps. Which one of these categories your app is placed in will determine how you will go about developing your app.

Delete Multiple Resources and Resource Groups in Azure With Tags

Aggregated on: Thu Mar 17 2022 01:50:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

You might have noticed that resources comprising some Azure services such as Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) span multiple resource groups by default. In some cases, you might intentionally want to segregate resources such as disks and network interfaces from VMs by placing them in different resource groups for better management. A common problem arising from the resource spread is that you might find it challenging to delete multiple resources and resource groups to entirely remove a service from a subscription. We can solve the problem by using resource tags to associate resources and resource groups to a service. Tags are key-value pairs that can be applied to your Azure resources, resource groups, and subscriptions. Of course, you can use tags for many other purposes apart from resource management. The Azure docs website has a detailed guide on the various resource naming and tagging strategies and patterns.

What's New With Java 17 and Containers?

Aggregated on: Wed Mar 16 2022 23:05:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Container platforms and edge computing continue to grow, powering major networks and applications across the globe, and Java technologies have evolved new features and improved performance to match steps with modern infrastructure. Java 17 (OpenJDK 17) was released recently (September 2021) with the following major features: Restore Always-Strict Floating-Point Semantics Enhanced Pseudo-Random Number Generators Strongly Encapsulate JDK Internals Pattern Matching for switch (Preview) Foreign Function & Memory API (Incubator) Vector API (Second Incubator) Context-Specific Deserialization Filters Developers are wondering how to start implementing application logic using the new features of Java 17 and then build and run them on the same OpenJDK 17 runtime. Luckily, Quarkus enables the developers to scaffold a new application with Java 17. It also provides a live coding capability that allows developers to focus only on implementing business logic instead of compiling, building, deploying, and restarting runtimes to apply code changes.

On Git and Cognitive Load

Aggregated on: Wed Mar 16 2022 22:35:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Any developer working in a modern engineering organization is likely working in git. Git, written by Linus Torvalds in 2005, has been since its creation, basically the ubiquitous tool for source control management. Git gained widespread adoption across engineering organizations as the successor to existing source control management such as Apache Subversion (SVN) and Concurrent Versions System (CVS), and this was mostly a byproduct of the timing. Git predates cloud and improved network connectivity, and therefore the best solution to managing source control at scale was to decentralize and leverage local dev environments to power engineering organizations. Fast forward 17 years, this is no longer the case. Cloud is de facto, networking and internet connectivity is blazing fast, and this changes everything.

JWT Authentication and Authorization

Aggregated on: Wed Mar 16 2022 21:05:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

JWT is one of those rare things that pop up once every now and then that solves a real problem in such a beautiful way it’s almost impossible to ignore, resulting in that it becomes a force of its own and ends up becoming the industry standard. My first reaction to the thing when I discovered it was as follows; “Golly gosh this is cool!” However, it comes with compromises, and it forces you to think differently. In this article I will first explain how it works, then I’ll explain its advantages, for then to finish up with how it changes your thinking. First of all, a JWT token is simply 3 JSON objects, each of which are base64 encoded, for then to separate each base64 encoded JSON object with a ”.”. A typical JWT token, therefore, looks like this. Plain Text eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9. eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6I kpvaG4gRG9lIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE2MjM5MDIyfQ. SflKxwRJSMeKKF2QT4fwpMeJf36POk6yJV_adQssw5c Notice the two . characters in the above example. Also, notice I have added CR/LF sequences to the above example to simplify understanding. An actual JWT token cannot have CR/LF sequences in it. If you break down the above token at for instance jwt.io you can see its 3 segments. These are as follows.
