5 Ways Perforce Helps with DORA Regulation Compliance

In January 2025, the European Union (EU) will begin enforcing a new regulation called the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). The DORA regulation mandates sweeping cyber resilience requirements for financial institutions and third-party information and communication technology (ICT) providers. In this blog post, we examine how two core Perforce offerings help financial institutions and their supporting ecosystem of service providers comply with the requirements laid out in the DORA regulation.

Boundary Value Analysis: A Complete Guide

Boundary Value Analysis (BVA) is a crucial software testing technique that focuses on testing the boundaries or edges of input ranges. It is based on the observation that errors often occur at the edges of input ranges rather than in the middle. By testing the extremes, BVA helps identify potential vulnerabilities and ensures that the system behaves correctly at its limits.

Take Your Document Processing Time from Hours to Seconds

Every business handles numerous document types—contracts, purchase orders, reports, invoices—you name it. And the thing about documents? They never look the same. One day, you’ve got a well-organized PDF with neatly labeled sections, making it easy to find what you need. The next, you’re stuck with a document that’s all over the place—random tables, text scattered everywhere, or even a scanned image that doesn’t fit the mold.

How to Load and Performance Test Kubernetes, what is Kubernetes and nuances of the platform

Check out Matt LeRay's talk on How to Test in Kubernetes at Star WEST 2024. Distributed architectures like Kubernetes present unique performance challenges. Autoscaling, Load Balancing and other mechanisms help with resiliency but can also serve to cover up fundamental problems. In this video, learn best practices and high level concepts around Kubernetes and achieving high throughput.

Building Livewire Components with Volt

In the past, when building Livewire components for our Laravel applications, we needed to keep our backend and frontend code split up into separate files. This can sometimes get a little confusing, especially with larger projects. But with Volt, we can now build single-file Livewire components where the backend and frontend code coexist in the same file. In this article, we'll look at what Volt is and how Volt components differ from traditional Livewire components.

Replay Production Traffic to Mock local development environments

Building and debugging Kubernetes microservices can be tough, especially when you don't have realistic data or environments. See how Speedscale can quickly mock DBs and APIs based on observed production behavior, so you can debug and develop features quickly. People familiar with GoReplay will notice a more modern and automated approach to turning user behavior into reproducible developer environments.

Black Friday Tip for Software Testers

Testers, how can you prepare for Black Friday? @MarcusMerrell suggests running real practice drills. Build an environment as close to production as possible and simulate an outage with your team to see how prepared you really are. These drills help reveal issues in your response process that you might not realize until it’s too late. By practicing in a realistic environment, your teams get more confidence handling real-world outages.

Confluent Cloud Is Now 100% KRaft and You Should Be Too

We are now in the final chapter of Apache Kafka’s multi-year journey to remove Apache ZooKeeper and fully transition to self-managed metadata in KRaft. Many Kafka users and customers are beginning to migrate to KRaft and are eager to understand its performance characteristics in production environments.

6 Use Cases of Generative AI Applications for Document Extraction

Every device, transaction, and interaction in our digital world generates an endless stream of data. By 2025, the amount of global data is expected to reach a mind-boggling 180 zettabytes. So, how do we extract and make sense of this growing data? That’s exactly where generative AI proves its value. This blog explains generative AI applications for document extraction and how this technology helps cut through the noise and zero in on exactly what you need.
