Service virtualization, which gained prominence in 2012, has significantly transformed the way software testing and development are approached. Originally designed to address limited access to dependent systems during development, service virtualization has evolved into a critical technology for enabling efficient and continuous testing. This blog explores its origins, key advancements over the past decade, ongoing challenges, and how API simulation is shaping the future of testing.

Welcome to the latest entry in Yellowfin Japan’s ‘How to?’ blog series! This series of blogs aims to provide your team with another hands-on example of adding data visualization to your Yellowfin dashboards, using our array of chart and graph types. In the previous blog, we created a Combination Chart by aggregating on the basis of Year and Month.

Feature flags are a powerful tool in software development, allowing developers to control the behavior of an application at runtime without deploying new code. They enable teams to test new features, perform A/B testing, and roll out changes gradually. In Ruby on Rails, feature flags can be managed using diverse tools, the most popular being the Flipper gem.

All but the simplest applications borrow code. You could write everything yourself from just core language features but who has time for that? Instead you take on dependencies, pieces of code written by others that usually give us 80% or more of what we need with 20% of the effort. Sometimes these dependencies are made to interact with a specific technology like a database, or perhaps it’s just a library providing some feature that would be onerous to write yourself.

Enterprises have complex IT and technology needs. To reach business goals, organizations must often stitch together a patchwork of software and IT systems. So, it’s understandable that the thought of adding yet another technology—low-code—might cause trepidation. But low-code excels at integrating seamlessly with any technology. Low-code tools speed up development work and enable rapid application development.

In this digital world, we all love to know about this trending world brilliant event of StarWest Conference 2024. Also, everyone who is connected with the testing community knows about this event. Everyone is excited to know, How STARWEST 2024 became the most-discussed software testing event of the year? This event started from September 22 to 27 and in this event, brilliant-minded testing experts participated in shared innovation, learning, and networking in Anaheim, California.

The last decade has seen a giant shift by organizations into the cloud for software, storage, and compute, resulting in business benefits ranging from flexibility and lower up-front costs to easier maintenance. But lately we have seen more and more companies re-evaluating their cloud strategies and opting to move their data back to on-premises infrastructure due to several key factors.

Apache Flink offers a variety of APIs that provide users with significant flexibility in processing data streams. Among these, the Table API stands out as one of the most popular options. Its user-friendly design allows developers to express complex data processing logic in a clear and declarative manner, making it particularly appealing for those who want to efficiently manipulate data without getting bogged down in intricate implementation details.
