In the digital age, data is the lifeblood of organizations, driving strategies, innovation, and decisions. However, harnessing its power requires more than just collecting the data. It demands meticulous management of data quality, governance, and lineage. These pillars form the backbone of informed decision-making, enabling organizations to transform raw data into actionable insights. According to Gartner, poor data quality costs organizations an average of $12.9 million every year.

Due to their ability to enable parallelism and asynchronous execution, threads have an essential role in efficiently utilizing multi-core processors. Without them, handling concurrent tasks in modern applications like real-time inference in IoT or Asynchronous I/O in AI/ML would neither be feasible nor imaginable. The arrival of virtual threads has further grown such possibilities by eliminating the sole dependency on operating system threads.

Making informed decisions on technology adoptions and ensuring the sustained growth and relevance of the organization in the market has never been more exciting than in the current times we live in. The Gartner hype cycle is a valuable tool in this pursuit with all its insights into the timing, adoption, and potential benefits of various technologies.

The advent of digital technologies requires industries, including shipping services, to meet the demands of global e-commerce. Accurate tracking, efficient inventory management, and seamless deliveries are now essential components that define successful shipping providers. Shipping providers turn to advanced tools to navigate the complexities of contemporary logistics. These solutions help automate workflows, minimize delays, and optimize customer service.

It is estimated that between 80% and 90% of the world’s data is unstructured1, with text files and documents making up a significant portion. Every day, countless text-based documents, like contracts and insurance claims, are stored for safekeeping. Despite containing a wealth of insights, this vast trove of information often remains untapped, as the process of extracting relevant data from these documents is challenging, tedious and time-consuming.

Black box testing is a testing method where testers evaluate the quality of a system without knowledge of its internal structures. The system is a “black box”: they know what it does, but not how it achieves those results. In this article, we’ll learn more about black box testing in-depth, the common techniques used, and black box testing best practices.
