What Is Traceability?

Traceability is likely an important part of your job if your organization produces something that requires you to keep track of specs, changes, requests, results, and versions, Yet considering how many companies still track requirements manually, and how many development teams use disparate systems for application lifecycle management, the benefits of traceability may not be widely understood.

Introducing the latest evolution in test data generation

Developing reliable code depends on thorough testing, but with teams under increasing pressure to create and deliver code faster, testing is sometimes seen as essential but can slow down processes. Plus, within testing, the biggest bottleneck of all has been obtaining test data. Testers report that they spend 60% of their time waiting or searching for test data. The good news is that with the next generation of test data solutions, teams do not need to trade test agility for code quality.

The Importance of Compliance Risk Assessments

In a world that’s literally had to define a new normal, standards and rules around safety and quality have been scrutinized more than ever before. And that new reality is affecting standard operations for some industries. While the importance of compliance has not changed, the complexity of it may have. Considering how quickly we continue advancing, this increasing complexity may also be part of our new normal. If you’ve not updated your compliance management lately, now may be a good time.

Parameter Binding: Native API/Native Code vs SourcePro DB

In the previous article, we walked through an example of how to query and retrieve data from a MySQL database using the native MySQL C API and then compared that to the clean simplicity of using the SourcePro DB API. In this article, we are going to take that a step further and look at input parameter binding. Building off the system we discussed previously that manages the accounts for a credit card system, we are now going to implement a simple application that can add transactions to an account.

Version Control for Binary Files: Your Best Options

A lot of teams are starting to look for version control for binary files. As more teams adopt game engine technology, they produce more art assets, builds, and other files that they need to store and track. A lot of version control tools simply don’t do a good job with versioning or storing large binary files, like game engine files. Managing these files efficiently becomes a serious issue the more a team and their projects grow. You need the right version control for large binary files.
