After a bit of a hiatus, the Community Roundup is back! With the new year come many great new articles and some lovely mentions that we thought we would share. Let’s dive in and see what has been going on in the Bitrise community lately!
Xcode is excellent and got better over the years if it comes down to tests. Last WWDC 2019 brought us Test Plans, and earlier, we got features like code coverage and parallel testing.
Welcome to the winter Bugfender newsletter. We hope you’re feeling refreshed after the holidays. We’ve had a fair few updates in the last quarter that we’d love to share with you to kick start the New Year!
Tomcat servers are widely used application servers for today’s development architectures, popular for hosting Java based applications. Below is a guide on best security practices for security your Tomcat Server environment. Banner grabbing is the process of gaining information from computer systems including services, open ports, version, etc. When sending a server host request via telnet command, you pass along the server name, port, and version.
Most designers have learned, often the hard way, that language differences can wreak havoc on their web designs. Leaving aside the issue of languages that go right to left instead of left to right, or down rather than across, there’s the big issue of variable word lengths. How do you accommodate this variability when designing web pages? The translation services company I founded, Tomedes, supports more than 1,000 language pairs, so we have some experience to share.
In a modern organization, the dependency on constant data flow doesn’t skip a single role -- already encompassing every function in R&D, Sales, Marketing, BI, and Product. Essentially every position is going through a fusion process with data-science. “Data is the new oil.” “Everyone needs data.” You’ve probably run into these and similar expressions more than once. The reason you hear them so often is that they are true.
If you’re building software, it is very likely that you are familiar with Conway’s Law. It is the single most important rule for software development. Employing this law will facilitate your success. Failing to abide by it, on the other hand, will guarantee your failure. I’ve witnessed this first hand in many places throughout my career, among them command and control services, Big Data processing systems, and even security components embedded into the very cars you are now driving.
It is probably the best time to be a designer right now since there are many online tools and software that targets designing pain points and simplifies them. From the creation of an idea down to its realization; designers can find appropriate tools that will help them in drawing out their thoughts, figuring out the complexities, and finding out how the users interact with their designs.
How can you speed up your workflow using Brew, Gem, and CocoaPods packages cache？
Whenever I meet an engineer and chat with him about Bugfender, one of the questions I get asked most often is: what does it take to build a log aggregation tool like Bugfender? What’s behind it? When processing millions of log lines per day for several thousand users, coming from millions of devices, good architecture is key to enabling uninterrupted high-speed processing and growing the platform as new users sign up.
