The 4 main factors to consider as part of your test automation strategy

We recently talked to Angie Jones in a podcast episode dedicated to best practices in software testing. In this article, drawing on our previous discussion, we’ll share her thoughts about the main factors to consider to build a comprehensive test automation strategy.

How to Resolve the NoSuchFieldError in Java

The NoSuchFieldError is an error in Java that occurs when a specified field does not exist. It is thrown when an application attempts to access or modify a field of an object or a static field of a class but the object or class no longer contains that field. The NoSuchFieldError only occurs during runtime if the definition of a class has changed incompatibly. Since it is thrown at runtime, it does not need to be declared in the throws clause of a method or constructor.

Best Practices for Usage-based Billing to Monetize APIs

API monetization is a great way to recoup your investment into your API programs. Without direct monetization, you’re dependent on other sources of capital to grow the program, such as other profit centers or venture capital. If you’re not directly monetizing your APIs, you could be leaving money on the table. This can be especially true if you don’t have any limits in place and lean on the honor system.

Understanding dependencies inside your Package.json

In this blog post, you can find a list and description of dependencies and other host Specs inside package.json. The dependencies in your project's package.json allow the project to install the versions of the modules it depends on. By running an install command inside a project, you can install all of the dependencies listed in the project's package.json, meaning they don't have to be (and rarely should be) bundled with the project itself.

How Digital Transformation is Changing the Insurance Industry

You have heard the terms digital transformation and cloud computing many times in the past decade, but now it has come to the insurance sector. Digital technologies have had a major effect on just about every industry from retail and manufacturing to healthcare and hospitality. The insurance industry is often slower to jump on any new trends. Insurance providers are set in tradition and don’t usually see much need to change.
