Best Data Mining Tools in 2024

Data mining, also known as Knowledge Discovery in Data (KDD), is a powerful technique that analyzes and unlocks hidden insights from vast amounts of information and datasets. Data mining goes beyond simple analysis—leveraging extensive data processing and complex mathematical algorithms to detect underlying trends or calculate the probability of future events.

How to Create a Heat Grid in Yellowfin Dashboards

Welcome to the latest entry in Yellowfin Japan’s ‘How to?’ blog series! In our previous blog, we created a pie chart that aggregates on the basis of category. By using set analysis, we were able to represent the percentage of Books Only in the numeric display, based on the composition of the items ordered.

Power Up Your Testing with Pro Test Plans (Templates Included)

This blog post is designed as a guide to illuminate the critical importance of software testing plans—a cornerstone in ensuring the delivery of reliable and high-quality software products as we described in a previous post when we described the process of creating a complete Test Plan. For QA professionals and testers, as well as for those developers that are getting initiated on a journey into the world of testing, this post serves as a reaffirmation of our principles.

Running Solid Queue in production Rails apps

Background jobs are essential to many Ruby on Rails apps. Since the introduction of ActiveJob, Rails developers have been able to manage their background jobs as natively as they do their database records.

Rainforest QA vs. hiring a QA engineer

When you’re ready to make the transition from manual testing to test automation, it’s natural to consider hiring. A QA engineer — who has the technical skills to write and maintain automated tests in an open-source framework — can take the burden of end-to-end test management off of your development team, allowing them to ship more code, faster. But hiring a good QA engineer is — often prohibitively — expensive.

How No-Code API Tools Automatically Generate APIs

At some point, anyone who has enjoyed using a computer has wondered if they could build their own app. But software development becomes intimidating fast if you’re not a programmer. Fortunately, there is a wide range of no-code platforms available today. Even in the enterprise, there’s demand for no-code development. As APIs have become one of the most important components of the modern application ecosystem, several no-code API solutions are now available.
