While working on an application that required executing a command to run a blocking program, such as a TCP/HTTP server, I encountered an interesting challenge. I needed a way to stop the application and its child processes when a signal was sent to the main program, such as SIGINT (Ctrl+C) or SIGTERM. This blog post shares my journey and the solutions I found to manage processes effectively in a Go application, focusing on Linux environments.

Whether you’re building a web application, a mobile app, or any other software product, integrating with third-party APIs is almost inevitable. But what happens when you need to test your application’s behavior without relying on these external services? That’s where the magic of simulation comes in handy. In this blog, we’ll explore how you can simulate responses effectively, even if the actual service isn’t available.

In this blog, we will demonstrate how to get the code coverage data for each incoming request on a python web server built using any web framework.

Before immersing yourself in this tutorial, it’s best to ensure you’ve got the following prerequisites.

If the term “API” puzzles you and you feel lost in a world of tech talk, this guide is for you. APIs, or application programming interfaces, act as the language that allows different software applications to talk to one another. Imagine you’re ordering a coffee at a cafe; the API is like the waiter who takes your order to the barista and then brings your coffee to you.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour broke records, hearts, and the Internet itself. Even if you're not a Swiftie, web developers and QAs can learn many lessons from this event. Marcus Merrell explains.

Releasing software is often a sequence of repetitive activities, including critical quality gates to assure the right version, configuration, and scope are deployable and releasable. In those critical moments, we want our release quality and risks to be predictable against expected outcomes and behaviors – we want to mitigate any potential risks associated with new changes.

The ever-growing tide of data, fueled by analytics and AI, places a significant strain on data center resources and increases energy consumption. With more stakeholder scrutiny and evolving regulations, such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and U.S. regulations on the horizon, organizations are taking notice now more than ever before. As a result, organizations are prioritizing sustainability in their IT strategies.

Test automation plays a bigger role in achieving cybersecurity than you might think. Senior QA Director Karen Laiacona-Frazier shares tangible advice to add to your security arsenal for safeguarding your daily workflow.

This series explores and compares the Jenkinsfile and Bitrise YAML, the scripting languages for Jenkins and Bitrise CI/CD pipelines, focusing on their unique approaches to automation in app development, starting with mobile.
