What Is Linting + When to Use Lint Tools

Everyone knows that software defects should be avoided at all costs. Some errors cause glitches that frustrate users. Others compromise the safety and security of a critical system. No matter what type of program you’re developing, avoiding these defects is important. That’s why many development teams rely on linting. Read along or jump ahead to the section that interests you the most.

Ask Me Anything about Natural Language Query

Guided Natural Language Queries are the next step in the evolution of ad hoc interrogation of data sources. Being able to quickly pose questions to your data without getting into the details of advanced report editing and formatting is a powerful capability that enables on the spot insights for your audience. Simplifying this interrogation does require some consideration and design when enabling data discovery on complex or large data sets.

API Security - Implementing API Security by Design

In this video, Frank Kilcommins from SmartBear and our special guest, José Haro Peralta, author of "Microservice APIs" demonstrate practical steps, workflow tricks, and the essential tools you need to beef up your API security, from start to finish, including design and development. They recap on the initial Security-By-Design session, to cover OWASP Risks, AuthNZ nuances, Common Design Vulnerabilities before going on a Hands-On walkthrough delivering an API with security in mind from the get go!

How to involve developers in Exploratory Testing

Exploratory testing, the backbone of agile development, allows for both a confirmation of what we’ve built being good enough and for a critique of what we’re building. But good exploration takes time, possibly more time than a single tester has within the team. So what can we do? We can ask our colleagues to support us and run some exploratory testing with us.

How to Use Dependency Injection in Azure Functions

Azure Functions is a powerful function as a service (FaaS) tool in the Microsoft Azure cloud computing service. Built to create event-driven, scalable, serverless computing services and applications, Azure Functions enable developers to focus on code logic without worrying about application infrastructure. The service also simplifies scaling apps and reduces costs, users only pay for resources consumed.

Achieving Trusted AI in Manufacturing

In the dynamic landscape of modern manufacturing, AI has emerged as a transformative differentiator, reshaping the industry for those seeking the competitive advantages of gained efficiency and innovation. As we navigate the fourth and fifth industrial revolution, AI technologies are catalyzing a paradigm shift in how products are designed, produced, and optimized.

A Data-Agenda at Davos: Promoting the Promise of AI

In the buildup to this week’s World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, the talk of polycrisis becoming permacrisis painted a picture of impending doom. These terms have been used to describe the global condition today, citing the “cascading and connected crises” triggered by war and geopolitics, economic uncertainty, and environmental concerns, and their persistence.

Password hashing in Node.js with bcrypt

In the digital age, security is of paramount importance, especially when it comes to user data and credentials. As developers, we must ensure that sensitive information, such as passwords, is stored securely to prevent unauthorized access and potential breaches. One of the key techniques employed to enhance security is password hashing, and in the realm of Node.js development, the bcrypt library stands out as a robust solution for this purpose.

Embracing sustainable QA practices for a greener IT future

The IT sector accounts for about 4% of global emissions — a number that could potentially double by 2025. This underscores the urgency of a sustainable green IT transformation. As the digital world grapples with its environmental footprint, the Sustainable QA Practices for Green IT webinar brought together thought leaders from Sogeti, Wipro, and Tricentis to shed light on integrating sustainability into quality assurance and testing.
