This article compares and contrasts the three most popular unit testing frameworks in ASP.NET Core: NUnit, xUnit, and MSTest.

As an engineering leader, you probably have some test design or execution needs that are specific to your organization or team. For more granular control over your testing processes and to ensure adherence to auditing and compliance standards, you need the ability to customize test steps within your test cases. You’re not alone.

Routing is a crucial aspect of an app. Just like when you manage the application state or build the UI, you should give sufficient attention to optimizing the routing of your application. An optimized routing system helps users navigate your app and can handle the user state efficiently. go_Router is a declarative and minimal routing system built on top of Flutter’s Router API. go_router provides a convenient URL-based API to navigate between different screens.

In the past, most software applications were all about “data processing.” In the parlance of old-school management information systems, that meant an almost exclusive focus on keeping accurate transactional records alongside any master data necessary to complete that mission. Transaction processing is important, of course, but in today’s world, applications are expected to deliver a lot more than that.

Releasing software without extensive quality assurance testing is asking for trouble. Poorly-designed software, bugs, or miserable UX dooms even the best projects – and with today’s hyper-intensive and rapid development cycles, things are sure to slip through the cracks. You can’t skimp on software testing, but planning your 2023 QA budget may feel tighter than normal amidst fears of a recession, inflation, and the global economy.

What pray tell is a tautology? A tautology is something that, under all conditions, is true. It is kind of like gravity. You can throw a ball in the air and, for a few seconds, it seems to be suspended. But soon gravity takes hold, and the ball falls back to earth.

A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that manages traffic, also known as communication, between services in applications composed of containerized microservices. It is a critical component in a microservices architecture, responsible for the secure, fast, and reliable communication between services. This article answers a lot of the questions you may have about service meshes: What are they and how do they work? Who is using them and why?

Oh boy, it’s been more than a year again since my last HKBFUKC article (yep, that’s a new standard abbreviation). This is the fourth article in the series. You can always check out the first, second and third on our blog. Again, loads of stuff has happened since the last time. I made the top 16 at the 4 Seasons MTG Legacy tournament in Bologna, I visited Lego House in Billund and I got married!

Information technology has been at the heart of governments around the world, enabling them to deliver vital citizen services, such as healthcare, transportation, employment, and national security. All of these functions rest on technology and share a valuable commodity: data. Data is produced and consumed in ever-increasing amounts and therefore must be protected. After all, we believe everything that we see on our computer screens to be true, don’t we?
