Software errors are annoying – they are troublesome for IT departments and affect many company processes. A software error is essentially a mismatch between what is expected of the program and the produced output. Sometimes these software errors could have negligible impact, while on other occasions, they could wreak absolute havoc, especially for industries like banking, healthcare, airlines, and stock markets.
Let’s face it, debugging is broken. Whether you wholeheartedly agree or vehemently disagree with that statement, I think we can all agree that debugging, at the very least, has room for improvement. In fact, the way software developers debug their code hasn’t changed much.
Many IP and data management tools provide a project-centric view of the design process, creating what are known as design silos. While this makes some sense, as most designers tend to think of themselves as working on a project at time, and other items within the company are tracked on a project basis (such as cost, resources, and timelines), this approach is not without its drawbacks.
In an unforeseen move earlier this year, Atlassian announced that they were depreciating server products to accelerate movement to cloud products. For teams that utilize Jira Server products, the announcement started the clock on a pivotal decision. Users of Jira Server products have until February 2nd, 2024 to integrate into Jira Cloud products, or migrate into an on-prem server solution. This change has had and will continue to have a wider effect of other parts on the ecosystem of DevOps tools.
Russell Stephens from Compass shares how his team cut down the time spent on testing from 80 hours to 4 and shortened their release cycles to one week. Read on to find out what steps they took to achieve this!
This post tells a story of a performance mistake that is quickly made even by experienced developers: The expectation that a built-in PHP function has better performance than a better suited data structure written in PHP. The protagonist in these stories is array_unique, a function that takes a list of values and removes duplicate entries to return a list of each value occurring only once.
In this post, we will discuss some of the primary commands, tools, and techniques that could help to monitor CPU Memory and Disk Usage in Java. The Java tools observe Java bytecode constructs and processes. Java Profilers follow all system commands and processor usage. This lets you look at call arrangement at whatever point you prefer.

It is easier to perform application troubleshooting when you know that protocols are in place. For instance, knowing the core features of the application and how the application functions is already a standard. Also, you’ll need to expand the coverage like the requirements of Quality of Service (QoS). Does the application need real-time performance or does it need to move a lot of data? Are there sub-applications running on the endpoints?
If this past year has shown us anything, it’s the importance of resilience. Businesses of all sorts have had to find creative ways to get through a very tough time. And one of those ways is through technology. Companies that never planned to be technology-driven are now having meetings on Zoom, managing a remote workforce, and adopting new software.
Mobile app development is unique, but when you are working alone, certain challenges are amplified as well.

Have you ever wondered why your bounce rate is always over 70% and can never quite figure out why? Your content reads great, you’ve got top-notch videos of your products, and you’ve even got a testimonial from Microsoft saying how good your company is! Well, all of these things seem to have little impact on visitors to your website if you have a) constant pop-ups or b) slow page loading speed (and if you have both, I’d disable Google Analytics now…).
The art of management is to act at the right moment. Good leaders allow team members to be autonomous when things are going in the right direction. In the same time, they are swift in fixing up issues when it was a minor problem, thus avert a crisis later on in time. Knowing the right time act is not easy. This ability used to come from years of experience through trials and errors. With modern source control tools (e.g.

Robots.txt file is one of several text files. Website owners develop this to instruct Google and other search engines about how they will crawl on their website pages. This file tells the search engine not where to and where to not go on a website. Google describes robots.txt as being primarily used to manage crawler traffic into a website and keep a website page away from Google, although this will depend on the type of file that it is.
Kubernetes is one of the current leading technologies. Its adoption has seen tremendous growth in the past few years. The concept of containers is a paradigm that appears to be the predominant medium of software development and deployment in the coming future. Containers help maintain consistency across various platforms, as they pack an application with its dependencies to help move it from one platform to another.
