Strategy Pattern: Definition, Examples, and Best Practices

Strategy is one of the most well-known design patterns, and luckily, it’s also one of the easiest to understand and use. That doesn’t mean the strategy pattern isn’t valuable. Quite the contrary: this pattern is incredibly powerful in enabling you to write code that is low coupled, easy to read and maintain, adheres to the SOLID principles and the dependency injection pattern. To help you understand the strategy pattern, this post covers the following.

Patterns for building realtime features

Realtime features make apps feel modern, collaborative, and up-to-date. The features predominantly require sharing changes triggered by one user to other users, as the changes are happening. This typically means your server needs to send data to some set of clients, where those clients don’t know they are missing the data. These patterns rely on a connection between the client and the server, where the server can notify the client of some data.

Accelerate Test Design for smart and agile testing with Xray and YEST

Test design is at the heart of effective testing, a crucial process that can make or break your software quality. Why invest time and resources in managing, executing, maintaining, and automating test cases if they don't directly address business needs or mitigate production risks?

Introduction to SOLID Principles in C#

If you have ever come across code that was challenging to expand or maintain, you are not alone. Every developer deals with the difficulty of reviewing old code, which seems like a complicated puzzle. SOLID principles are a useful collection of rules designed to assist you in writing code that is clearer and easier to maintain, instead of just theoretical ideas. Following these guidelines makes your C# applications less subject to errors and easier to maintain.

Say Goodbye to Outdated Documentation: Meet Multiplayer's System Dashboard and Auto-Documentation

Multiplayer automates the tedious task of creating and maintaining system documentation, while also facilitating collaboration and shared understanding across distributed teams working on complex, evolving software systems.

Platform debugging with deep session replay: turn up the signal, decrease the noise.

Today we introduce the Multiplayer Platform Debugger: share deep session replays that include relevant data from frontend screens to deep platform traces, metrics and logs so teams no longer have to search through unrelated data to find and fix bugs.

Test Case Design Techniques: The Definitive Guide

The first step is often the hardest, and in software testing, this is especially true. When presented with a system, how do you go about and decide what to test? Standing in the middle of the unknown, we need guidance, and learning about test case design techniques is a good place to start. In this article, we’ll show you: Let’s dive in!

AI in UX design - Vital AI Impacts & Enhanced Features

Did you know that the AI market size is likely to reach USD 826.73 billion dollars by 2030? Yes, you read it right! The use of artificial intelligence can be seen in every field. AI in UX design is bringing about a revolution in the way users interact with technology. Traditionally, UX design relied on designer intuition, manual processes, and labor-intensive user testing. No doubt, the conventional approach had a positive impact on the user experience.

Shift Left: Headless Data Architecture, Part 1

The headless data architecture is an organic emergence of the separation of data storage, management, optimization, and access from the services that write, process, and query it. With this architecture, you can manage your data from a single logical location, including permissions, schema evolution, and table optimizations. And, to top it off, it makes regulatory compliance a lot simpler, because your data resides in one place, instead of being copied around to every processing engine that needs it.
