DevTestOps Orchestration for Agile Teams | What & How to Make It Right

The three key positions in a software development team are developer, tester, and operations. Required tasks among these positions are continuously changing and evolving and are continuously changed and reinvented. To speed up the development process, development and operations were integrated, which is now referred to as DevOps. Unfortunately, a critical layer between Dev and Ops was overlooked: the fixed cycle of testing.

Online Meetup: Kong Gateway 2.5 | Performance Testing Framework

Since the general availability of the Kong Gateway (OSS) in version 2.5 we feature a new Performance Testing Framework. In this session, we’ll showcase an example test used for Gateway development, detail how a Kong Developer can get an environment set up to use the framework, and walk-through extending the framework to match your testing needs. Kong’s Online Meetups are a place to learn about technologies within the Kong open source ecosystem. This interactive forum will give you the chance to ask our engineers questions and get ramped up on information relevant to your Kong journey.

Speedscale & Locust: Comparing Performance Testing Tools

Picking the right performance testing tool can be a challenge. What should you look for and what is important? Performance testing is a phrase many developers have come across at some point, but what is it exactly? In simple terms, performance testing is a software testing practice used to determine stability, responsiveness, scalability, and most important, speed of the application under a given workload.

Shorten the SDLC With DevTestOps in Agile | Why Teams Do It

Don’t worry. DevTestOps isn’t another new term to create turbulence in our IT and DevOps world. Similar to other topologies like DevSecOps, which emphasizes more on the “Sec,” or security matters, DevTestOps stresses the aspect of continuous testing and CI/CD in DevOps. At the same time, to uphold the culture of saying “no” to working in silos, the DevTest approach specifically aims to end the lasting bad blood between the development and testing teams.

Summer School at Collaborator: Session #3 - Ramping up with New Review Types

In its early inception Collaborator was known as Code Collaborator, with the focus of offering a platform for peer review of code files. Parts of that first moniker are still present in the current version of Collaborator: In the name of the executables for example, in case one wonders why there’s the extra ‘c’ at the beginning of those file names. Dropping the ‘Code’ piece of the name, Collaborator evolved into a much more expansive peer review tool, moving beyond just code files, to include document review for many types of files, and with the latest integration, Simulink model files.
