Being able to write concise, easily comprehensible software testing reports is an important skill for software development team members to possess, particularly those in quality assurance, development, and support. Poorly written software testing reports can make the development process more difficult and less productive. Imagine a client asks if their app is ready for launch and based on your assessment, everything is working correctly.
Introducing Apache Hadoop to an organization can be difficult. Your workforce is trained and experienced in SQL and the analytics tools that integrate with it. However, when you reach a point where the data is too big for a MySQL server, stepping up into the world of Big Data becomes necessary.
Yellowfin have done a lot of work with software vendors over the years, helping them to embed analytics into their applications and we've learned a lot through that process. One of the things we have learnt is that there are some recurring fundamental issues with how product managers bring analytics into their product, an approach which can prevent them from realizing the full potential of their embedded analytics.
Learn how idempotence protects you from the worst consequences of data integration failures.
Splunk is a technology that made processing huge volumes and complex datasets accessible to security and IT teams. Despite its strengths for monitoring and investigation, Splunk is a bit of a one-way street. Once it's in Splunk, it's not that easy to stream the data elsewhere in great volume. And it doesn’t mean it’s the best technology for all IT and Security use cases. Or the cheapest.
Today, Snowflake is announcing the general availability (GA) of the External Tables feature. Snowflake launched the External Tables feature for public preview at the Snowflake Summit in June 2019. It is one of the key features of the data lake workload in the Snowflake Data Cloud.
I’m a geneticist, which is really just a technical way of saying that I obsess about the minutiae of your family history. Now, while that sounds rather stalkerish, this is in fact a molecular and data-driven addiction, which is fuelled by my need to understand the nature of evolution and human behaviour via the data within our DNA. Our genomes are the single-most densely packed dataset that we have ever encountered.
The “Quality at Speed” movement – or delivering high-quality products in a short period – has expanded beyond the software industry: it appears in the standard playbook of companies in health care, finance, etc. This new movement pushes QA teams to continuously reinvent their software development cycle with advancing technological practices.
