Developing high-quality products involves careful definition and tracking of both functional and non-functional requirements (NFRs). But what exactly are non-functional requirements? And what's the best way to keep track of them? Let’s dive into what non-functional requirements are and how they compare to functional requirements, review some common types of non-functional requirements with examples, learn best practices for writing them, then discuss how to track and manage them.

Testing tools in AI and data automation have evolved to offer sophisticated features that ensure the quality of the end product and reduce its time to market. With reports suggesting 50% of manual testing being replaced by automated, these tools can help with various aspects of software testing, including unit testing, performance testing, and security testing. They can be integrated practically anywhere across the CI/CD pipeline for continuous testing and shift left testing.

Machine learning APIs provide developers with powerful tools to integrate complex algorithms and models into applications without building them from scratch. These APIs simplify the development process by offering pre-trained models and standardized methods for different tasks. These include image recognition, natural language processing, and predictive analytics. This accessibility democratizes machine learning so that developers of varying expertise can leverage cutting-edge technology efficiently.

The latest release of Helix QAC and Klocwork features significant improvements to the static analysis tools, empowering development teams to shift left by fixing errors early, reducing development costs and releasing faster. Here, we provide an overview of the new features and functionality of the 2024.2 release.

Modern digital ecosystems seek profound insights into user interactions so that the business visions guiding them can leverage pinpointed usability issues. To ensure digital success in your industry, it is crucial to conduct a thorough assessment that fosters an objective understanding of the product. This approach aids in catering to the audience in a more thoughtful manner..

IoT is driving the digital metamorphosis in the banking industry. The surge in internet-enabled devices, like smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches, signifies an increase in opportunities for fintech software development to scale their business through the Bank of Things (BoT). IoT technologies are enabling real-time connections, making banking more efficient and customer-centric.

The total cost of ownership for mobile devices on premises is 2x-5x higher than opting for a cloud infrastructure provider.

In the ever-evolving landscape of software testing, the transition from manual to automated testing is a journey filled with misconceptions, challenges, and significant rewards. Recently, I had the privilege of hosting a conversation with two industry experts, David DiCocco and Alex Martins, who shared their personal experiences and insights on this topic.

When using MySQL and InnoDB you will inevitably run into lock timeouts sometime, somewhere. We have recently started seeing this with some of our Shopware 6 customers in their storefronts or worker queues, so I was reminded to go back to 2017 in our codebase when we put a fix in place. In our case, this happened on tables that were constantly written to from many different sources in the code base.
