The Different Software Testing Types Explained

According to IEEE Std 829-1998, Software Testing is defined as “the process of analyzing a software item to detect the differences between existing and required conditions (i.e. defects) and evaluating the features of the software items.” With the advent of new technologies and new software being released every day, software testing is gaining more strength and accolades.

.NET Performance Optimization: Everything You Need To Know

It’s Friday afternoon, the majority of the development staff has already packed up and headed home for the weekend, but you remain to see the latest hotfix through to production.

It sounds sort of ridiculous considering how much time, money and effort the firms, for which I worked, spent on data warehouses, reporting systems, business intelligence tools and advanced analytics.

Four Logging Best Practices for Production Applications

Logging is an essential part of just about any PHP-based application; whether in a script or a larger application. However, how little is too little and how much is too much to log? If we don't log enough information, when something goes wrong, as it invariably does, then we won't have enough information available to determine what went wrong so that we can fix the problem.

How to adopt Mobile DevOps practices: mindset and technologies

Mobile DevOps is more than simply adopting a new set of tools and practices: it also comes with the need to adopt a completely different mindset, in the form of a cultural-organizational change. The approach is based on the Agile methodology, but takes its practices further: not only by getting other teams more involved, but by replacing function-based teams with product-, and project-oriented teams as well.
