As we move through 2024, early-stage quality assurance methods ensure you meet the changing software development landscape. As a preliminary test phase, smoke testing verifies that the application’s functionalities work as expected after updates or integrations. This article will explain why smoke testing is important, as well as practical applications, examples, and best practices for smoke testing in the early stages of development.

BigQuery now integrates with Sensitive Data Protection with native SQL functions that allow interoperable deterministic encryption and decryption.

It might be a cliche, but first impressions really do count. Whether it’s a first date, a job interview or the UI design of your app, looking the part is a massively important consideration. Today we’re going to look at how we can use the SwiftUI Color structure to enhance the visual appeal of our apps and make the right impression on our users.

Integrations can be done efficiently with IPaaS tools. Quickly set up point-to-point connectors, add logic and orchestration, and the integration is done and configured. The difficulty comes with more custom and bespoke systems. For example, when custom fields are added to an ERP or CRM, when you need to integrate with a legacy system, or when there is no connector to interact with. Linx can assist in cases where high flexibility and customization are required.

Recently, Cloudera, alongside OCBC, were named winners in the“Best Big Data and Analytics Infrastructure Implementation” category at The Asian Banker’s Financial Technology Innovation Awards 2024. This recognition underscores the importance of trusted data when building AI and generative AI (GenAI) models and serves as a testament to the impact that reliable data can have in real world use cases.

So you’ve designed, built and launched your app. Before you pat yourself on the back and move on to the next project, your work isn’t quite done. In order for your app to gain adoption, consistently delight users and be successful for the long haul, you need to put certain systems and workflows in place.

With API-driven applications being increasingly common, understanding how your APIs are performing is crucial for success. That’s where the combination of Heroku and Moesif allows developers and their organizations to step up their observability game. In this blog, we will quickly examine how you can integrate Moesif with your Heroku app to begin monetizing and analyzing your API traffic. Let’s kick things off by taking a brief look at both platforms.
