Those of us in the software world know that typical Software Development Lifecycles (SDLC) are sequential — not to be confused with linear. In other words, there are "steps" or phases to each development stage. With each stage there are controls and safeguards, as well as a review of policy regulations, before moving to the next step to ensure quality, security, and performance ...
This year and every year come down to how we can raise the bar with and for developers. In software development, there are many areas that are working well and some that have room for improvement. Let's dive right into predictions for DevOps in 2022 (and beyond) ...
The pandemic highlighted one of the most crucial challenges facing the software industry — the lack of professional software developers. This was validated in the recent Top Software Development Challenges for 2022 survey report by Infragistics, which found that 53% of respondents believed that recruiting developers with the right skills was their greatest challenge ...
The evolution of APIs has dramatically changed the software development process, necessitating companies to rethink how they manage and organize all of the APIs at the core of their business. Recent surveys by RapidAPI (conducted at the end of 2021) found API adoption increased across all industries, with executives prioritizing investments in the API economy as an essential strategy to secure organizations’ future revenue and growth ...
Wordle had almost 14 percent of US adults playing daily as of January 2022, and we can be sure that number has skyrocketed even more now since its acquisition by the New York Times. If a humble pet project like Wordle can capture the heart (and wallet) of the New York Times, it has a lesson to teach. Whether an app is an unassuming game or a complex tool, there are key steps developers would be wise to consider in order to ensure their app is agile and ready for whatever will come its way ...
Shift-left has been an important DevOps concept in recent years, and shift-left security is rapidly becoming the next big "shift" for DevOps/Agile development. In this model, app developers build app security, fraud prevention and anti-malware features into software as early as possible in the development cycle, instead of trying to code security in after an app is built ...
"We have seen two years' worth of digital transformation in two months" ... In the months since that memorable quote from the head of Microsoft, companies have been forced to continuously adjust to the new world order, exploring better ways to streamline processes, harness data, or shape entirely different ways of doing business. The trend is set to continue throughout 2022 ...

As the Great Resignation continues and turnover rates climb, organizations across industries are struggling to keep top talent — especially in the developer, delivery, platform and security realms. Ongoing digital transformation efforts have put additional pressure on organizations to keep up with the accelerating pace of innovation; multi-cloud environments are becoming the new norm — bringing with them novel IT complexity concerns; and cybersecurity threats continue to proliferate across the enterprise ...
As the debate rages on within companies of all sizes on who should "own" software quality, and at what stage(s) of the SDLC should testing be performed, an interesting finding popped up in the most recent SmartBear State of Software Quality | Code Review report. Close to 800 participants in the survey — nearly 80% of which define their roles as either developers, architects, or systems engineers — stated that code review is the number one thing a company can do to improve code quality ...
Driven by the demand for delivering applications at the locations of their choice, enterprises are increasingly deploying distributed infrastructure, with 67% of cloud deployments distributed across on-premises, hybrid, and edge clouds. Comparatively, our recent research found that developers are facing new challenges as they expand their use of cloud computing in ways that increasingly span multiple locations ...
Imagine starting your morning with a new business idea and building it out into a fully functional website by the evening. Serverless stacks are making this speed of innovation possible by streamlining the most tedious aspects of application development. By leaning on a full-service serverless stack, software creators can grow their applications faster, scale with ease and have more time to build innovative features that differentiate their business ...
Application programming interfaces (APIs) are the underpinnings of digital transformation and represent 83% of all web traffic. Serving as the fabric of modern service delivery and app development, the logic and sensitive data APIs can expose have made them a high-value target for cybercriminals. In fact, the amount of API cyberattacks has spiked in the last year. According to Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) analysts, "attackers are setting their sights on unprotected APIs, and API attacks will see a banner year in 2022" ...
