What if your website still looked like it belonged on the older websites? Web design has come a long way from the days of heavy textures and 3D effects. Today, the field is all about sleek, user-friendly interfaces that cater to modern user needs. As we venture into 2024, staying ahead with the latest trends is more important than ever. In the early 2010s, a significant shift occurred in web design with the rise of mobile devices and responsive design.

While working on an application that required executing a command to run a blocking program, such as a TCP/HTTP server, I encountered an interesting challenge. I needed a way to stop the application and its child processes when a signal was sent to the main program, such as SIGINT (Ctrl+C) or SIGTERM. This blog post shares my journey and the solutions I found to manage processes effectively in a Go application, focusing on Linux environments.

Data governance and data quality are closely related, but different concepts. The major difference lies in their respective objectives within an organization’s data management framework. Data quality is primarily concerned with the data’s condition. It ensures the data is complete, accurate, reliable, and consistent. On the other hand, data governance refers is the overall management, maintaining compliance, and ensuring the security of data assets within an organization.

The ever-growing tide of data, fueled by analytics and AI, places a significant strain on data center resources and increases energy consumption. With more stakeholder scrutiny and evolving regulations, such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and U.S. regulations on the horizon, organizations are taking notice now more than ever before. As a result, organizations are prioritizing sustainability in their IT strategies.

If the term “API” puzzles you and you feel lost in a world of tech talk, this guide is for you. APIs, or application programming interfaces, act as the language that allows different software applications to talk to one another. Imagine you’re ordering a coffee at a cafe; the API is like the waiter who takes your order to the barista and then brings your coffee to you.

Whether you’re building a web application, a mobile app, or any other software product, integrating with third-party APIs is almost inevitable. But what happens when you need to test your application’s behavior without relying on these external services? That’s where the magic of simulation comes in handy. In this blog, we’ll explore how you can simulate responses effectively, even if the actual service isn’t available.

Functional testing is a type of software testing that validates web or mobile applications against pre-determined specifications and requirements. The goal is to ensure that the software performs as expected by both developers and end-users. Functional testers aim to emulate real-world scenarios and user pathways, testing not only for functionality but also for non-functionality, such as how the app behaves in airplane mode or when a video buffers.

This series explores and compares the Jenkinsfile and Bitrise YAML, the scripting languages for Jenkins and Bitrise CI/CD pipelines, focusing on their unique approaches to automation in app development, starting with mobile.

Releasing software is often a sequence of repetitive activities, including critical quality gates to assure the right version, configuration, and scope are deployable and releasable. In those critical moments, we want our release quality and risks to be predictable against expected outcomes and behaviors – we want to mitigate any potential risks associated with new changes.

In today's dynamic software landscape, teams struggle with where to invest their time: new feature testing or regression testing. Obviously, ensuring the reliability and stability of applications is paramount so that the end-user experience is not impacted. However, teams must also ensure that new features and capabilities that will propel the company's business to the next level are also properly tested and ready to be put in the hands of the end users.
