The Human Side of the Equation - How Stories Bring Data to Life (Part 1)

As data science has taken center stage in a lot of organizations, many are relearning what they’ve already known – that dry, mathematical calculations don’t inspire and don’t stick. It’s the story that matters. In this first of a two-part blog series, we look at the history and neuroscience of storytelling and how it can help us understand data at a more human level.

Establish a Code Ownership Loop with Collaborator and Bugsnag

This blog is derived from the webinar, “Accelerate Releases Through Code Ownership with Collaborator and Bugsnag”, focused on establishing a culture of code ownership and its benefits through the lens of the SmartBear tools Collaborator and Bugsnag. Taking a line from the SmartBear 2021 Annual State of Software Quality Report: "Quality is top of the mind for every individual and every team.

Flow Creation in Edge Flow Manager

This video shows the usage of Edge Flow Manager’s flow designer and using the example flow it explains the concept of agent classes and publishing. It goes through the Dashboard view for agent classes and the canvas for the flow designer where processors, remote process groups and funnels are also explained. To see all of this in action, a very basic flow is created with two processors and published to the MiNiFi agents under the agent class the flow is designed for. After publishing, the means of tracking the flow deployment progress are also covered.

Safety and Security for Medical Devices with New U.S. House of Representatives Legislation

Inspired by an article from Jim Dempsey, lecturer at the UC Berkeley Law School and a senior policy advisor at the Stanford Cyber Policy Center, I decided to write about the recent legislation approved by the U.S. House of Representatives to address cybersecurity for medical devices and how it relates to open source software security, secure code standards, and static analysis.

Understanding Type Checking in JavaScript Using typeof

In JavaScript, the type checking operator typeof returns the data type of the argument that was supplied to it. Any variable, function, or object whose type you want to determine using the typeof operator can be used as the operand. The typeof operator can be used to check the data type before execution because JavaScript is a dynamically typed language, which means that you do not need to define the type of variables when declaring them.

How one telehealth app scaled with healthcare software testing

As the rapid digitization of healthcare grows, telehealth apps face a unique challenge in delivering continuous care on familiar devices. The demand for telehealth apps only compounds the need for healthcare software testing to ensure a great user experience while scaling quickly and efficiently. Partnering with a crowdsourced testing vendor opens up immediate access to coverage for devices and locations, accelerated testing velocity, zero operational overhead, and increased ROI.
