Last year, we introduced an easier way of distributing your app to users via the App Store. It simplified and automated publishing apps on App Store Connect with a few lines you could add to your codemagic.yaml file. This feature automated your iOS releases from start to finish and pushed the CI-verified builds straight to the App Store. We are excited to announce that we have simplified this process even further! Now, you can directly reference the API key and authenticate with App Store Connect!

This post presents how xk6-disruptor, a k6 extension for fault injection, can be used to improve the reliability of applications by “shifting left” chaos testing.

For developers and QA engineers, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are a game of watching how much weight the ice can take before it cracks. Learn how uptime goes beyond performance testing, and what you can do to prepare for the worst. In the United States, Thanksgiving is right around the corner. For many of us, this serves as a chance to see family, play some football, and stuff ourselves with an unholy amount of food.

Notifications are a typical cross-cutting concern shared by many web applications. The Noticed gem makes developing notifications fantastically easy by providing a database-backed model and pluggable delivery methods for your Ruby on Rails application. It comes with built-in support for mailers, websockets, and a couple of other delivery methods. We'll also examine the merits of using the CableReady gem for triggering system notifications in your Ruby on Rails application. Let's get into it!

Architecting a maintainable, readable, and reliable codebase is important not only for the people who will work on the code after you, but also for your own sanity. I’ve worked on dozens of production Node.js backend services and will share my experience of architecture pitfalls to avoid when building yours.

The development and delivery of software products is a leading market in today’s tech-savvy world. The demands are all-encompassing and perpetually escalating. To keep up with the ever-increasing demand, testing processes have been swift and perfect for a bug-free release. To make this entire course of testing free from significant errors, choosing the appropriate test management tool is a must.

Any defects that arise in production have a risk of reputation; the software product needs to be tested thoroughly before deploying to the production environment. There are different levels of testing, such as unit testing, integration/API Testing, end-to-end testing, etc. When organizations follow multi-level testing, the defects can be reduced. This blog post discusses the best API testing tools available in the market.
