In the cloud world, containers are the centerpoint of a growing majority of deployments. By providing compartmentalization of workloads and the ability to run "serverless," containers can speed up and secure deployments and create flexibility unreachable by old style application servers. While a variety of tools have been developed to meet this need, none are as impactful to the industry as Kubernetes. It has emerged as the de facto container orchestration tool for many companies ...

In today's digitally driven work environment, leveraging technology to improve efficiencies is an essential component of any modern business. This is especially true for those in the business of software. As a business's software development life cycle (SDLC) continues to speed up, and more code is developed and deployed at a faster rate, testing that code for quality to ensure optimal user experience is critical. The SDLC is also only growing more complex, so finding ways to simplify and automate wherever possible are critical too. That's why a modern SDLC should start with software test automation ...

Migrating applications to the cloud is a complex process. It becomes even more complicated if the applications in question are business-critical, have been heavily customized, or run on IBM POWER hardware. Fortunately, IT can reduce risk during the migration process by planning and preparing data and applications in advance. Here's how ...

At first, DevOps may seem counterintuitive when compared to traditional software engineering and development. It intentionally breaks down silos that function within each specialty to deliver improved, holistic business results. When implemented successfully, DevOps transforms the systems that provide software solutions and, in the process, empowers organizations to leverage disruptive technology to their advantage ...

Tool fragmentation and sprawl stands also out as one of the primary obstacles to accelerating developer-led digital operations. Too many tools, especially ones that are not designed with developer workflows and integrations in mind, hinders productivity. Without a unified collaboration experience, and the customization, integration and security controls necessary, developers, and the broader R&D teams they serve, are left without the alignment, visibility, and control needed to truly accelerate digital operations. Here's a look at three collaboration tool must-haves to master digital developer collaboration ...

Over the past few years the "modern data stack” has entered the vernacular of the data world, describing a standardized, cloud-based data and analytics environment built around some classic technologies. One thing to note, however, is that what we call the "modern data stack” is essentially a re-envisioned cloud-and-SaaS version of the "legacy data stack'' with better analytics tools ...

Ransomware is no stranger to corporate networks, as it poses huge risks and even larger recovery efforts that are quite costly. Successful ransomware attacks can result in locked systems, stolen identity, data held hostage — all of which can wreak chaos and disaster to the targeted organizations. When ransomware reaches its target, it's practically game over ...

In the new cloud order, where seamless collaboration between DevOps and ITOps is critical, Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) processes, combined with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, are being heralded as the keys to optimal application development and deployment. Adoption is broad and expectations are high. There's just one problem: CI/CD and IaC have yet to fully deliver on their promise ...

Chief information officer (CIO) and chief technology officer (CTO) roles have converged at the same time as both positions have taken on significantly increased responsibility for business strategy, according to a new survey of CIOs and CTOs.

SmartBear recently released the results of its 2021 State of Software Quality | Testing survey. I doubt you'll be surprised to hear that a "lack of time" was reported as the number one challenge to doing more testing, especially as release frequencies continue to increase. However, it was disheartening to see that a lack of time was also the number one response when we asked people to identify the biggest blocker to professional development ...

After almost 20 years in engineering, I've realized the most high-performing, seasoned software engineers are like monks. They are deliberate about work, exceptional listeners, highly capable of processing complex information and adept at thinking creatively. They also build psychological safe spaces for constructive debate, are empathetic and value different perspectives. It's a radically different mindset than viewing peers as competition — and it's one that enhances trust and encourages greater individual and group performance. Unfortunately, these types of engineers are now the exception, not the norm ...
