How do you integrate tools to enable shift-left performance? The following tools will simplify maintenance, can be managed in a centralized way, and provide an easy-to-use UI to comprehend results ...
Focusing at the API layer of an application can help enable a scalable testing practice that can be efficiently executed as part of an accelerated delivery process, and is a practice that can be adopted and enabled at the earliest possible stages of development — truly shifting left functional testing. But what about performance testing? How do we enable the shift left of nonfunctional testing? Here, we explore what this means and how to enable it in your organization ...
Imagine that you are tasked with architecting a mission-critical cloud application. Or migrating an on-premise app to the cloud. You may ask yourself, "how do the cloud savvy companies like Airbnb, Adobe, SalesForce, etc. build and manage their modern applications?" ...
From how applications and infrastructure are developed, configured and built to how they are tested and deployed, pervasive automation is the key to achieving better efficiency and standardization that gives companies the competitive edge. Pervasive automation is the concept of scaling automation broadly and deeply across the entire software delivery lifecycle ...

Only half of CI/CD workflows include application security testing elements despite respondents citing awareness of the importance and advantages of doing so, according to DevSecOps Realities and Opportunities, a survey conducted by 451 Research, commissioned by Synopsys ...
As the security industry continues to evolve, one thing remains consistent – teams are still struggling with balancing the increasing amount of work they have to do, without an increase in resources to accomplish their goals. In turn, it is becoming progressively more difficult for teams to be successful and accomplish their goals. However, while this is prominent theme, a lesser-known problem has risen, which I like to refer to as "security as a silo" – a different kind of SaaS ...
There once was a time in software development where developers could design, build and then think about their software's security. However in today's highly connected, API-driven application environment, this approach is simply too risky as it exposes the software to vulnerabilities ...
Microservices are a hot topic in IT circles these days. The idea of a modular approach to system building – where you have numerous, smaller software services that talk to each other instead of monolithic components – has many benefits ...
