3 Reasons to Win the Testing Trophy Posted: 18 Jan 2021 04:36 PM PST In 2015, London was shaken to its foundation by Bloomberg's software failure that affected over 300,000 traders worldwide. The same year, the Royal Bank of Scotland paid a £56 million fine because of a software glitch that had blocked their clients' access to the bank's services. In 2017, British Airways had to cancel over 1,000 flights due to a major IT breakdown. And perhaps coffee lovers from the US and Canada can recall the day when Starbucks ended up giving out coffee for free because its system refused to process payments. The above examples show that one can't underestimate the importance of software testing. Properly conducted tests reduce your stress levels and save you money, regardless of whether we are talking about e-commerce, finance, transportation, or even a coffee shop business.

The Truth About the 10X Developer Posted: 18 Jan 2021 04:33 PM PST Introduction We've all heard of the concept of a 10X Developer. Most likely, when you first encountered it, the context was that of a myth or urban legend. I don't agree. As a reformed psychologist I'm fascinated by legends that are "sticky." No story hangs around for as long as this unless it contains an element of truth. Or perhaps addresses some deep seated need. In this article I would like to convince you that the 10X Developer is a real, if very rare, individual. More like a Rhino than a Sasquatch. The Really Real Developers If I rate myself honestly as a developer, from a scale of one to ten, then I'm about a six. I peaked at seven in my mid-thirties and have been in gradual decline ever since.

An Approach to Cloud Transformation and Cloud Migration Posted: 18 Jan 2021 04:24 PM PST Overview The ongoing COVID 19 pandemic is creating new challenges to almost all industries. It is causing a significant impact on business and operating models. Organizations are rethinking, "how to make business resilient for such large disruptions," " how to innovate faster and enable new business services to customers," "how to reduce TCO," and "how to enable better connectivity and collaborations." Such challenges existed before the pandemic era as well, but have become more relevant and important now. Businesses that have already embarked on their cloud journey have shown greater resiliency and responsiveness to this pandemic. In the near future, it's expected that cloud adoption will significantly increase across industries with a combination of different cloud service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS) along with hybrid and multi-cloud topologies. Cloud hosting will become a new essential IT service for businesses. A well-defined approach for cloud transformation is expected to realize business goals, cost savings, and strategic benefits. This article will briefly outline the elements of a typical approach for application cloud migration, modernization, and transformation. The article combines portfolio rationalization methods that can identify potential savings by reducing spending on non-valuable portfolios, along with cloud migration methods to realize the benefits of the cloud. This article will explain the methodical approach to a successful cloud transformation.

Converting Date to Julian Date Format in DataWeave 1.0 (Code Snippets) Posted: 18 Jan 2021 04:21 PM PST This blog provides the DataWeave 1.0 code for converting the Date format ("yyyy-MM-dd") to Julian Date format. DataWeave 1.0 code:

JavaScript vs. Other Popular Languages of 21st Century Posted: 18 Jan 2021 04:18 PM PST The trends in the programming industry have changed so much in the past decade. One such evolution was seen in the web development industry. In the earlier days, web development dealt with the development of web pages and websites for the intranet and internet.  As time has passed, it has become more focused on creating complex and detailed web, mobile, and desktop applications.

Traditional iPaaS Doesn’t Work for Software Companies – Here’s Why Posted: 18 Jan 2021 03:46 PM PST It's no surprise that software integration is a hot topic these days. Or that there's a growing number of iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) solutions that help companies build integrations between all the different applications they use. Businesses are using more and more unique applications as part of their day-to-day operations. That presents challenges like siloed data and disjointed workflows, creating a need to easily connect those applications.

What Is Application Modernization? Posted: 18 Jan 2021 03:29 PM PST The world is undergoing significant digitization today. Almost every business, irrespective of its industry, is digitizing its entire business model by shifting it to apps. Multiple sectors are undergoing digital transformation to efficiently handle their businesses and make themselves more accessible to their clients. According to Statista, global spending on digital transformation will reach USD 2.3 trillion by 2023. Cloud computing plays a considerable role in digital business transformation happening at such a large scale, especially in the pandemic-hit 2020. It has provided people with cost-effective solutions to manage everything electronically without worrying about the basic infrastructure of their applications and the responsibilities that come with it. According to research, the cloud computing market has grown up to USD 371.4 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow up to USD 832.1 billion by 2025.

What Is an API Gateway? Posted: 18 Jan 2021 03:20 PM PST In this article, we are going to use Zato in its capacity as a multi-protocol Python API gateway - we will integrate a few popular technologies, accepting requests sent over protocols commonly used in frontend systems, enriching and passing them to backend systems, and returning responses to the API clients using their preferred data formats. But first, let's define what an API gateway is. Clearing up the Terminology Although we will be focusing on complex API integrations later, to understand the term API gateway we first need to give proper consideration to the very term gateway.

If Testing Was a Race, Data Would Win Every Time Posted: 18 Jan 2021 03:01 PM PST Okay, so that title doesn't make complete sense. However, if you read to the end of this article, all will become clear. I'm first going to discuss some of the persistent barriers to in-sprint testing and development. I will then discuss a viable route to delivering rigorously tested systems in short sprints. The two kingpins in this approach will be data and automation, working in tandem to convert insights about what needs testing into rigorous automated tests. But first, let's consider why it remains so challenging to design, develop and test in-sprint.

Interested in Starting a Netflix-Like Streaming Service in 2021? Posted: 18 Jan 2021 02:57 PM PST It's no secret that Netflix is the leader in the video streaming industry. By April 2020, the video streaming giant had almost 183 million subscribers. In 2019, the company's annual revenue reached 20.15 billion U.S. dollars. The best part? The demand for streaming services is growing, and most likely, it won't stop any time soon. Now is the perfect time to create a streaming service like Netflix! But, how do you start a streaming service? What is the right strategy to build an app like Netflix, and how much will it cost? In this post, we will try to address all those questions. But, before you go any further, check out some facts and statistics about Netflix. Let's begin!

What Do We Mean by Machine Learning? Posted: 18 Jan 2021 02:41 PM PST The goal of artificial intelligence is to create a machine that can mimic a human mind and to do that, of course, it needs learning capabilities. However, it is more than just about learning. It's about reasoning, knowledge representation, and even things like abstract thinking.  Machine learning, on the other hand, is solely focused on writing software that can learn from past experiences. One thing you might find astounding is that machine learning is more closely related to data mining and statistics than it is to AI. Why is that? First, we need to know what we mean by machine learning.
