Apache JMeter is a Java open source tool. If you want to run load or performance tests using Apache JMeter, you can use their Graphic User Interface (GUI) and you don’t need to know any programming language, follow the JMeter documentation and you are ready to go to design your API testing scenarios.
Today, we’re excited to announce a new research project we’ve been kicking around at Kong: Kong Embedded! If you’ve used the Kong Gateway before or heard us talk about it, one of the things we’re very proud of is that Kong Gateway uses a very small resource footprint. It’s a small download in size, is blazingly fast on even constrained hardware, and uses very little memory.
We are proud today to announce the future of service connectivity – Kong Konnect! Kong Konnect is the only full stack connectivity platform that is designed from the ground up for the cloud native era, delivered as a service. It accelerates the journey to microservices, secures and governs APIs and services, and it allows developers to rapidly design, publish and consume APIs and services. Konnect was built from the ground up with the unique needs of developers, architects and operators in mind.
About two and a half years ago, Kong first announced our Kubernetes Ingress Controller. We were stepping up to invest in the Kubernetes community by building a full-featured API gateway that operated in a Kubernetes-native way. Since then, we – as well as the rest of the broader Kubernetes ecosystem – have hit a number of additional milestones. Our Ingress Controller has run in tens of thousands of Kubernetes clusters, and we’ve continued to expand its functionality and stability.
Today, social media uses a wide range of different social networking platforms to help its users with the creation and sharing of ideas, information, personal interests and hobbies by establishing virtual networks. Affiliates can benefit from these groups that use web-based applications to communicate, interact and connect. Affiliates participate by generating content, for example with comments, articles, photos, videos.
Timely, accurate and trusted data has never been more important than it is now during this pandemic. Since late summer, many areas across the UK have had more stringent restrictions imposed to reflect the growing number of cases. Similarly, Test and Trace uses information on who we’ve been in contact with to provide guidance for when we should self-isolate, which in turn helps us personally manage the risk to those around us.
Web designers are putting their time, effort, and creativity into creating a site that appeals to users, and engages, and holds their attention. According to one episode of the Project Management Podcast, it’ll be easier for designers to turn those ideas and concepts into a tangible web design using the right tools. But with so many tools out there in the market, picking the right one can be difficult. So, what will a designer do?
For decades, the analytics/BI community has suffered from low user adoption (~30%). Dashboards and fancy visualizations have only proven to be the starting point of the analytics journey, not the endpoint. We are living in a world that demands far greater agility than a fixed layer of information or KPI can provide. Poor user adoption is the result when the analytics system fails to support the users full journey: from data – to insight – to action.
According to a survey conducted on software test automation, 51% of organisations prefer to retrain existing staff in test automation skills. While there are still 49% that would like to hire them specially for test automation related tasks. Other findings from the same survey confirmed that organisations want to move to more of test automation and a minimum of manual testing. To quote the findings, “Only 5% of survey respondents said they currently carry out 0:100 manual: automation testing.
