Automated or Manual Testing: Keeping the Balance Right!

,

If you are a tester, then you have likely had a discussion about automated and manual testing. This is nothing new, and lots of people have different views around this. Whether you are on a big team and already established an automation framework or you are a small team new to automation, it is always necessary to keep this balance right in order to get maximum efficiency.

Automation testing has the benefits of increasing efficiency, getting faster regressions, and thus contributing to timely project deliveries. It also removes the execution of repetitive test cases or regression cases manually and saves a tester’s time.

Could Containers Help You Deliver Software Faster?

,

Containers, led by Docker, burst onto the IT scene in 2013. In the five-plus years since, container technology has reshaped the software development landscape. The shift began with a breakdown of applications into lightweight, independent, and deployable software packages.

Since each container includes everything it needs – code, runtime, system tools, and settings, plus all dependencies, libraries, and other configuration files – you can reliably move containers from one environment to another. For IT teams, this reduces frustration when problems occur due to changes between environments. It also makes the process more efficient, which benefits companies and customers.

The 10 Habits for Highly Successful Compliant Database DevOps

,

Database DevOps has come of age. Now seen as a key technical practice which can contribute to the successful implementation of DevOps, it stops the database being a bottleneck and makes releases faster and easier.

Conversely, perhaps, the automation and audit trails it introduces can help to protect personal data within databases and make compliance part of the same process rather than an additional time-consuming step outside it.

To Succeed, DevSecOps Must Actually Include DevOps

,

Before implementing any DevSecOps tools, you have to embrace that DevSecOps is disruptive to the entire security tool landscape. Too many tools are just putting lipstick on a pig.

But how do you know which ones are lipstick and which ones transform the pig from the inside out? Larry Maccherone laid this out in his talk at our Nexus User Conference. If you’re not already familiar with Larry, he is an industry-recognized thought leader on DevSecOps, Lean/Agile, and Analytics and currently leads the DevSecOps transformation at Comcast. In other words, he knows what he’s talking about.

Integrating Load Testing Into Azure Pipelines

,

The k6 open-source load testing tool integrates with Azure Pipelines (as well as many other continuous integration tools) to automate performance tests. Running load tests as part of your continuous integration (CI) pipeline saves time and ensures that you’ll catch any performance regressions that occur due to code changes.

Microsoft recently introduced the world to Azure DevOps, an extension and rebranding of Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). Azure DevOps is comprised of several services which you can use all together or just cherry-pick the services you need.
