Using Klocwork as a Quality Gate in GitLab

Perforce's Klocwork static analysis tool can be used as a quality gate in any CI environment. Klocwork acts as a quality gate by analyzing code and preventing the code from moving forward if the quality criteria are not met. In this video, we demonstrate the use of Klocwork in a GitLab environment to illustrate the CI workflow, and how you can use Klocwork to require the pipeline to pass before merging code.

Export STIG Rule Violations via Klocwork's Desktop STIG Viewer

In this video, we show you how to export STIG rule violations to the Klocwork Desktop STIG Viewer, and how to display a complete list of all the vulnerabilities discovered during a static analysis of your code. Klocwork’s coverage for the DISA STIG rules is especially useful for federal accounts that have an obligation to demonstrate NIST RMF compliance for software to be deployed in a federal environment (e.g., the U.S. DoD).

Understanding Multi-Tenancy: Core Logic and High-Level Code with Django

Multi-tenant applications are crucial for efficiently serving multiple clients from a single shared instance, offering cost savings, scalability, and simplified maintenance. Such applications can allow hospitals and clinics to manage patient records securely, can enable financial institutions to provide personalized banking services, and can help streamline inventory management and customer relationship management across multiple stores.

Threads and Virtual Threads: Demystifying the World of Concurrency In Modern Times

Due to their ability to enable parallelism and asynchronous execution, threads have an essential role in efficiently utilizing multi-core processors. Without them, handling concurrent tasks in modern applications like real-time inference in IoT or Asynchronous I/O in AI/ML would neither be feasible nor imaginable. The arrival of virtual threads has further grown such possibilities by eliminating the sole dependency on operating system threads.

What CXOs Should Learn from the Gartner Hype Cycle: AI, Clouds, Security and More

Making informed decisions on technology adoptions and ensuring the sustained growth and relevance of the organization in the market has never been more exciting than in the current times we live in. The Gartner hype cycle is a valuable tool in this pursuit with all its insights into the timing, adoption, and potential benefits of various technologies.

Watch: Using generative AI for test automation in Rainforest [Video]

We’ve integrated generative AI features deeply into our no-code test automation platform, Rainforest QA. Each of these features is designed to help you avoid the time-consuming and otherwise annoying work of keeping automated test suites up to date — so your software development team can stay focused on shipping, fast. In this video, our CEO, Fred Stevens-Smith, walks through what some of these genAI features look like in action.

Api Integration - Importance And Best Practices

In today’s digital world, applications need to communicate with each other to provide users with seamless experiences. This communication is often made possible through APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). API integration is a process where different software systems are connected using APIs, allowing them to share data and functionalities. Let’s delve deeper into what API integration is, how it works, and why it’s crucial for modern software development.
