Few Warning Signs Your Company Needs QA Consulting Services

Aggregated on: Tue Dec 21 2021 09:04:23 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

In a software testing world, the competition is too high to handle and when we talk about the significance of QA there is no room for error. The worldwide automation test market is likely to raise from $12.6 back in 2019 to USD28.8 billion by 2024 .Delivering superior quality software is the top-most priority of any business. It is prudent to pay attention to software development and testing before it reaches the marketplace. Yet, the handful of companies still lack to comply with few basic standards, specifications, and guidelines of the QA procedure audit due to several reasons. Unfortunately, not every enterprise is ready. The core major challenge lies ahead if businesses don’t have expert and strong QA professionals on their payrolls. The comprehensive test results in unearthing errors in the software product and such hidden issues might start looking like a time consuming bomb. Remember, it is a contest against time!

How To Prevent Clickjacking Attacks

Aggregated on: Tue Dec 21 2021 02:34:22 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

A clickjacking attack is usually accompanied by some form of social engineering to lure targets to a compromised link. This article discusses the types of clickjacking attacks, their various impacts, and best practices to prevent them. What Is a Clickjacking Attack? Clickjacking attack, also known as User Interface (UI) Redressing, is a web application attack where the hacker tricks a user into clicking an invisible web page element. The hackers set up multiple opaque or transparent layers. Hence, the user clicks a button or link that may cause them to visit malicious pages, download malicious software, transfer funds or give away sensitive data. Using an iFrame on top of a regular web page to display an invisible HTML element or web page performs a typical clickjacking attack.

Java: Why a Set Can Contain Duplicate Elements

Aggregated on: Tue Dec 21 2021 02:04:22 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

In low-latency applications, the creation of unnecessary objects is often avoided by reusing mutable objects to reduce memory pressure and thus the load on the garbage collector. This makes the application run much more deterministically and with much less jitter. However, care must be taken as to how these reused objects are used, or else unexpected results might manifest themselves, for example in the form of a Set containing duplicate elements such as [B, B]. HashCode and Equals Java’s built-in ByteBuffer provides direct access to heap and native memory using 32-bit addressing. Chronicle Bytes is a 64-bit addressing open-source drop-in replacement allowing much larger memory segments to be addressed. Both these types provide a hashCode() and an equals() method that depends on the byte contents of the objects’ underlying memory segment. While this can be useful in many situations, mutable objects like these should not be used in most of Java’s built-in Set types and not as a key in most built-in Map types.

What Is API Test Automation?

Aggregated on: Mon Dec 20 2021 19:49:22 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

APIs have become the heart of software development in various applications and systems, linking and exchanging data and code. Fortunately, testing the software will dramatically improve the efficiency of the entire testing process, allowing you to produce applications faster than ever before. What Is an API? The application programming interface (API) is a computer interface that allows two different software systems to communicate and share data. Newsdata.io Newsdata.io news API also allows two different software systems. The software system running an automation API requires many functions/subroutines from another software program.

4 Ways Data Science Will Improve Customer Communication Efficiency in 2022

Aggregated on: Mon Dec 20 2021 19:49:22 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Customer communication is fundamental to any business. Efficiently communicating with customers, resolving their issues, and answering their questions earns you their trust. You’ll see this reflected in both your sales figures and the reviews people leave online when it comes to nearly every review site. The reverse is true as well. Unanswered emails. Hours spent on hold. Incompetent agents on the line. All this can easily result in lost business and bad reviews. In fact, 65 percent of customers have ditched businesses before due to a bad customer service interaction. When it comes to the data science field, people largely associate negative emotions with this kind of thing. That's because automation has traditionally made these communications workflows much worse. Communications barriers could be costing businesses around $37 billion a year, and that number keeps rising.

Why You Should Rethink Your Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)

Aggregated on: Mon Dec 20 2021 18:34:22 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Effective management of a software bill of materials (SBOM) has always been important from a cybersecurity and compliance standpoint. The May 2021 executive order on SBOMs and recent House action on the DHS Software Supply Chain Risk Management Act of 2021 has made these management practices even more crucial. This is why the software industry needs to rethink its approach to SBOMs — and how new management strategies could unlock significant benefits for developers.

Is Mathematics Crucial as a Software Developer?

Aggregated on: Mon Dec 20 2021 17:34:22 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Mathematics has been seen as a universal skill that every industry can benefit from, but how crucial is it exactly when put into practice? Software developers may seem like a highly technical field in which math skills will come in handy, but the truth is that while it can be beneficial, it isn’t highly necessary. However, it also depends on which facet of software development you are talking about. When it comes to networking or performance, maths may not be high on the list of necessary skills, but if the developer is focused on creating algorithms and trees or graph theory, it may be something that you cannot do without. According to professionals in the field, there are certain math-heavy niches in software development that may require the use of maths such as statistics and probability, but if you’ll be largely dealing with data science, it may accelerate your grasp on certain concepts as well as evaluating your data and results, but you can also use A.I. or machine learning techniques in order to bypass the need for mathematics.

Couchbase N1QL Transaction: An Elastic and Scalable Distributed Transaction

Aggregated on: Mon Dec 20 2021 16:34:22 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

SQL is the only 22nd-century language available for developers today. Abstract In relational database systems, SQL is more than a declarative query language. It includes procedural language (T-SQL, PL/SQL, etc) and defines transactions and their semantics. SQL as a query language has been unreasonably effective even in NoSQL database systems. However, few NoSQL database systems support transactions. The ones that support come with a long list of limitations and/or were unable to support SQL operations within the transaction. We introduce and explain transactions in Couchbase N1QL: SQL for JSON. N1QL transactions are multi-everything: multi-document, multi-bucket, multi-scope, multi-collection, and multi-DML-statement.

Why Use gRPC and Thrift for Remote Procedure Calls

Aggregated on: Sun Dec 19 2021 17:49:22 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Usually, whenever somebody wants to start building an HTTP API for their website, they pretty much exclusively use REST as the go-to architectural style. They prefer REST to alternative approaches such as RPC and GraphQL. REST works well for most cases, especially if you build a monolithic application that does not have complex within-application communication. The problems come when you build an application that consists of dozens of backend services regularly communicating with each other. An example of such architecture can look like this.

5 Tangible Metrics for the Speed of Software Engineering Teams

Furthermore, we are concentrating on the technical perspective here. Alignment of business and engineering is crucial for success, however, it is a topic for another post.

Overcoming 5 Challenges to Shifting AppSec Left

Aggregated on: Sun Dec 19 2021 17:19:22 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Digital transformation and the speed at which applications are developed and deployed is moving at a rapid pace. Businesses have always competed to see who can be the first to respond to customer needs, mainly in hopes of capturing some of a competitor’s market share. DevOps and the cloud have enabled software development to move from the annual updates of yesteryear to shipping releases daily to what we now call continuous delivery (CD). Unfortunately, the security industry has fallen behind in its ability to keep pace with modern developer teams in many ways. It may be more accurate to say security was left behind. As developers assumed ownership of applications through development and operations, security was left in a silo — a gatekeeper expected to review code, find vulnerabilities, and send the results back to the developer team for remediation.

Questions to Ask When Choosing a Low-Code/No-Code Platform

Aggregated on: Sun Dec 19 2021 16:34:22 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Current and future app creation is and will be driven by low-code/no-code development platforms (LCDP). Organizations moving forward with low-code development are doing so because they have investigated and understood the benefits. The list of benefits is substantial, from agility to lower development costs to decreased time to market to increased sales and market share. How does a company choose which LCDP for future app development? If a company is seeking a new ERP application, they first create a Request for Proposal, sometimes called a Request for Quote. The RFP is filled with information about application content requirements followed by questions focusing on the supplier and the features offered by their unique applications. The questions center on how the provider's solution matches the customer’s requirements; about the proposed new application's cost plus the support and modification costs; the functions and unique features the solution will provide; it asks about the user interface along with whether the new application will allow for the integration of legacy programming code and data; the buyer wants to know what technologies are used and tons more. I have yet to see an RFP for the selection of a LCDP provider.

How Do Open Data Servers and Databases Help Optimize Performance in FinTech

Aggregated on: Sun Dec 19 2021 13:34:22 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Data is a piece or a large amount of information stored electronically. With so much information stored in different folders, this separation of data makes data storage inconsistent and tedious to access, edit, or replace. That’s exactly where servers or databases come into the picture. With complex data and numbers pouring in on a daily basis, having a strong database or servers is crucial to managing it. A database is nothing but a collection of information in a structured way to allow for prompt readability, access, and editing. It is the center of the flow of data, as data flows from the database to other parts of the system.

DIY Serverless with Hyperlambda, Kubernetes and pure Magic

Aggregated on: Sun Dec 19 2021 09:49:21 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

It always bothered me that in order to implement horizontal scaling in Magic, I had to arguably kill its most important feature; Its dynamic Hyperlambda file system. Sure, I could duplicate the same Hyperlambda files, create a Docker image, and spawn up 50 Kubernetes PODs having an identical "modules" folder - But then I would lose Magic's primary feature, being its ability to dynamically change modules on the run, without interrupting normal usage, having the same changes duplicated automatically to all 50 PODs. Well, as of version 10.0.5 of Magic, this is no longer a problem - At least in theory. Simply because now Magic no longer directly reads files from the file system, but exclusively consumes dynamic "files" through four interfaces, completely abstracting away all IO of Hyperlambda files, and any other dynamic files may I add. These interfaces are as follows.
