Perfecto by Perforce

2020 was one of the most transformative years for software testing to date. Teams were forced to adapt to completely new work environments and learn to develop, test and innovate at warp speed. At Perfecto by Perforce, we were intrigued by the rollercoaster that was 2020 and wanted to glean more insights into the unique testing trends and challenges that surfaced as a result. As such, we surveyed more than 700 DevOps professionals for our 2021 State of Test Automation Report ...

There are two important considerations when adding security to an existing DevOps pipeline. The first is security in code, which means, when code is developed, the security of the code itself should be continuously reviewed and assessed. The second is security as code, in other words, security requirements need to be part of the process from the beginning. Let's look at both of these concepts in a bit more detail ...

With the right solutions, teams can move themselves out of the shadows of error resolution and into the light of innovation. Observability data, drawn from their systems and imbued with context from AI, lets teams automate the issues holding them back. Contextualized data and insights also give them the language to speak to the incremental, product-led approach and the direction to drive key innovations in customer experience improvement. Communicating value becomes a much easier proposition for DevOps practitioners — and they can take their seat at the company table as contributors to value ...

The 20% time has an almost mythical status. Popularized by Google, but with its roots actually stretching back to the 1940s, the basic concept is that 20 percent of an employee's paid time is dedicated to pursuing personal projects. The idea is that it creates a hotbed of innovation which might feed into company work and improve skills. In software development terms, the products that have their foundations in 20 percent are legendary ...

In the quest to quickly deliver quality apps and services while providing a superior customer experience, DevOps is proving critical for modern enterprises, giving them the ability to adapt quickly to customer demand and cultural shifts, automate throughout the software delivery lifecycle (SDLC), and heighten security of the data and infrastructure vital to application development ...

We all wish we could build, deploy, and run our applications without the stress of security concerns. However, the reality is that most of us will run into serious security or compliance issues at one time or another. When that happens, an organization is likely to experience the frustration of delayed application deployments and stifled agility. Containers and Kubernetes promise faster development cycles, quicker bug fixes, and increased velocity, but when security is an afterthought, organizations risk the very gains that containerization promises, particularly agility ...

So, you've finally decided to use Kubernetes for stateful applications? Congrats! (And good luck.) But first, let's put the Champagne back on the ice and talk about data — the chain that binds your stateful architecture to a single location. If you're only using a single region, you're in luck, but what happens when the same application needs to run on multiple regions? Or, even worse, multiple clouds? ...

What does a high-performing engineering team really look like? It can be hard to know, but diving into the effectiveness of your delivery capabilities can tell you quite a bit. Do deploys require a lot of cross-team coordination? When production breaks, is it a long time before you can get it back up and running? Are you getting feedback and results from your changes quickly? Your team's ability to deliver is a competitive advantage, and industry benchmarks are the only way to get a clear understanding of how your DevOps practices measure up ...

DevOps adoption is growing steadily as more organizations take advantage of these practices to empower IT teams to deliver applications and services at high velocity. Bringing together software development and IT operations is helping shorten the systems development lifecycle and provide continuous delivery. At the same time, organizations are finding themselves with a whole new set of challenges, including hiring and collaboration, especially as skill and talent shortages increase. The cloud, and specifically cloud desktops, can address many of these challenges ...

The cloud migration in the first half of 2020 was swift and a huge learning curve for many. In fact, as identified in Aptum's global survey, while nearly all IT professionals (99%) believe that cloud services are essential to their organization's success, performance concerns remain an obstacle to realizing these benefits ...

A new study from D2iQ reinforced the importance of Kubernetes, with 77% of organizations claiming that the container automation system is a central part of their digital transformation strategy. However, the same study found that while projects in production on Kubernetes are expected to rise 61% in the next two years, almost all organizations that use cloud native technologies have run into challenges, most commonly during the development phase ...

For "as a Service" to be market-ready, security and compliance must be part of the dev process from the beginning. For this to succeed, it's necessary for teams to take on a DevOps mindset — one that places a priority on fast delivery and automated workflows ...

Let's go back to the fundamentals. That's actually a high hill to climb in the world of cloud computing: The field virtually mandates a nonstop flow of new tools and capabilities. Each advance surely adds to the already-long list of benefits to be accrued by moving to the cloud, but many also create serious risks. This fundamental incongruity can undermine the entire potential of this vital discipline. The latest Accurics research report, The State of DevSecOps, vividly highlights this ongoing issue ...
