Stop Using TCP Health Checks for Kubernetes Applications

As developers, one of the most important things we can consider when designing and building applications is the ability to know if our application is running in an ideal operating condition, or said another way: the ability to know whether or not your application is healthy. This is particularly important when deploying your application to Kubernetes. Kubernetes has the concept of container probes that, when used, can help ensure the health and availability of your application.

Shift Left: Bad Data in Event Streams, Part 1

At a high level, bad data is data that doesn’t conform to what is expected. For example, an email address without the “@”, or a credit card expiry where the MM/YY format is swapped to YY/MM. “Bad” can also include malformed and corrupted data, such that it’s completely indecipherable and effectively garbage.

What is Customer Experience Testing & How to Excel At It?

Unsurprisingly, consumers base their purchase decisions on customer experience. Despite 73% of consumers placing a high value on customer experience, only 49% believe companies meet their expectations. Testlio October 4th, 2024 Businesses that integrate customer experience into the software development life cycle have shown better customer retention and satisfaction rates. There is a direct correlation between product quality and customer satisfaction.

AI Data Mapping: How it Streamlines Data Integration

AI has entered many aspects of data integration, including data mapping. AI data mapping involves smart identification and mapping of data from one place to another. Sometimes, creating data pipelines manually can be important. The process might require complex transformations between the source and target schemas while setting up custom mappings.

How End-to-End Automation Testing Accelerates Software Delivery and Quality

The software testing in earlier times was a purely manual method, which was quite labor-intensive and included a high chance of errors. Over the years, the complexity of systems led to the need for a better and more effective method for testing these software systems. This is where automation testing transforms the face of software testing. First, automation was used for unit tests or simple checks of the components of a system that are not connected with other components.

How ClearML Stacks Up Against Alternate Solutions - Weights & Biases

At first glance, ClearML’s AI Development Center and alternatives such as Weights & Biases seem to offer similar capabilities for MLOps. For example, both solutions support experiment management, data management, and orchestration. However, each product is designed to solve a different use case. It is important to understand how these approaches affect the user experience.

The Fall and Rise of Embedded Plugins: IFrames - the Default Choice for Embedded Integration Design

With the rise in popularity of embedded integrations, and continued trial and error in this space, it’s best to review the core concepts of how embed frameworks operate. There are many ways platforms open their UI to third-parties, but one is considered original - the oldest, and likely still the most common method on the web - the old iframe model. In the olden days, the common way to enable third-party content in one’s interface was by iframing.

The 2024 Software Performance Testing Guide

Software performance testing has become critical for software owners and developers today. Testlio October 4th, 2024 Studies show that a one-second delay in load time can reduce conversions by 7%. This highlights the importance of knowing what performance testing is in software testing. Performance testing is essential to ensure your software can handle real-world usage, from managing traffic spikes to efficiently using resources.
