If you are in any way involved in software development, you have likely heard the term “Shift-left” thrown around. Shift-left is a joint effort of developers and QAs (Quality Assurance) engineers to incorporate testing as early as possible in the software development life cycle. This approach fits in with the agile methodology allowing code development […]

Kubernetes is a portable, extensible open-source framework built from a host of loosely connected components. Its main advantage is the ability to run distributed systems extremely resiliently. Moreover, it allows for easy deployment, scaling, monitoring and detailed logging through Kubernetes audit logs. A rising number of modern software applications contain within them a host of […]

Most IT companies today are using an Agile approach to software development. Based on the Agile Manifesto from 2001, this methodology is in many ways the exact opposite of the waterfall method which it superseded. Small teams working in unison to provide fast and incremental product improvements is what Agile is all about. This allows for a […]

In traditional waterfall software development models, testing was limited to a distinct lifecycle phase that occurred after implementation and before deployment. While this approach has its advantages, like clearly defined stages and comprehensive milestones, modern software development methodologies favor continuous testing because of the speed and agility it provides. Many software testing activities have become […]

DevOps has taken the IT world by storm, and many companies are reaping the rewards of adopting a DevOps approach to software development. This is done by encouraging increased communication and collaboration between operations staff and developers throughout the entire software development lifecycle. A well implemented DevOps strategy allows organizations to minimize their speed to […]

It is all too common for dev teams to focus only on tech, without paying enough attention to user feedback. This approach often results in a product that is technologically sound but just does not resonate with the target audience. Customer experience can make or break a product, so integrating user feedback into every step […]

DevOps has taken center stage in the world of software development, and most companies are jumping on the bandwagon by implementing efforts to automate their deployment and development processes. By combining IT operations and software development processes, DevOps can significantly shorten the software development lifecycle. In addition, it outputs frequent updates, features and fixes that […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a quickly-advancing computational field that affects every sector of the economy. AI applications can be seen everywhere; from transport and logistics to healthcare, and even finance. One industry that seems to be participating in a self-fulfilling prophecy is the software development industry. Considered the foundation of Artificial In, software development is […]
