Why UX in network applications matters

User experience is a hot topic when it comes to developing virtually any kind of digital product. Good UX design is a key element to attract customers and maintain their loyalty. On the other hand, even the best product may lose its potential due to bad UX design. The importance of UX is even more pronounced with network apps, where huge amounts of information need to be shown clearly and neatly. Here, good visibility also minimizes the number of errors users make and speeds up failure detection. Read the article to see how CodiLime deals with UX.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

What is Domain-Driven Design and how can it benefit your product development?

Developing high-quality software products requires a good strategy. There is no room for fortuity or reading the tea leaves. Domain-driven design can be a possible solution that helps map out a development path and provide good practices in the process. This article gives an overview of this concept, including the important advantages of using DDD, and highlights the possible challenges connected with the topic. Domain-driven design (DDD) is an approach to software development focusing on the area that the product references or operates within as the center of every action taken.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

An introduction to low-level programming

A programming language could be described as a way of translating a programmer's intentions into machine code that can be understood by a processor. There is much information about high- and low-level programming languages available from various sources. How to tell them apart? Low-level programming languages allow for unambiguous and precise control over exactly what machine code will be the result of a compilation. In high-level languages, the algorithms select the instructions, often simplifying them and not allowing for their modification.

Developer experience: what is DX and why you should care

If you are a product owner or product manager, you have lots of things to consider while planning the success of your product. There are many obvious things but… most businesses still forget about an area that can be crucial: developer experience. Briefly speaking, developer experience, or DX, describes how developers feel about a system while working on it. In this article, we will cover more about what DX is and why good DX matters. Let’s start with an explanation of what can affect developer experience to show why good DX can be crucial for the overall success of your software product.

Generics in Go — everything you should know before you start

Go 1.18 introduces a new mechanism for generic programming – type parameters. This long-awaited feature finally sees daylight in the officially accepted proposal. This article focuses on a complex description of how type parameters work – everything you need to know about Go generics, with examples, in one place. Are you interested in more information about the language itself? Check out our previous articles for a Go overview and how it is different from Python. It is common knowledge that Go is a statically-typed programming language.

Harnessing the power of Kubernetes: 7 use cases

According to The 2021 Kubernetes Adoption Report, 68% of respondents claim that their usage of K8s increased due to the recent (pandemic) crisis. The main reasons for choosing this container orchestration tool were cost reduction, increased automation, and more frequent deployments. In this article, you will find practical examples of how else Kubernetes can benefit your projects (and, of course, your company). The first case where you can make use of Kubernetes may seem controversial, but still is very useful.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

The best QA automation tools that you should know

Nowadays, it is difficult to imagine the Quality Assurance (QA) process without automation tools - their number on the market is constantly growing, and we are continually discovering new options. However, some QA engineers still prefer the "manual" path. Why? There can be several reasons—the desire to stay in your comfort zone, fear of difficulties with implementing and mastering new tools, or reluctance to test new solutions when the old methods seem to work well. Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that the implementation of automation allows for better optimization of processes, reduces costs, and saves time for the development of QA engineer skills and qualifications.

What is technical debt and how much is acceptable?

For most businesses in the software industry, the concept of technical debt has come up at some point. According to a report, 23- 42% of the average organization's development time is wasted because of technical debt. Constant competition, the need to meet more and more customer expectations, adding new features to software products – there are many technological choices that can lead to budget losses and disruption of productivity. Some of them cause a so-called technical debt. Here we give a technical debt definition and discuss what the best techniques of technical debt management are.

Example use case of network troubleshooting during the VNF lifecycle

This article will guide you through a proposition of an implementation of network monitoring and troubleshooting during the Virtual Network Function (VNF) lifecycle, based on a combination of data gathered from SDN - in our case Tungsten Fabric (TF) - and OpenStack. This article is a promised follow up to our article Network traffic troubleshooting during the VNF lifecycle - aspects of Tungsten Fabric flows. In the case presented in this article, the main challenge with network monitoring and proactive troubleshooting is to identify the root cause of potential flow-related errors before they cause a service outage.

Product discovery — how to start smart with your app development

Developing a new application is quite a challenge. Doing it from scratch requires hours of research, a lot of time spent, and a substantial sum invested. The worst thing you can do is to develop a software product in a hurry – this leads to building an app with some cool features instead of developing a product that will be essential to end-users. To avoid such a situation, you should focus on understanding the users’ needs and requirements thoroughly. This is where product discovery comes in. Let’s take a look at why the product discovery process is such a big deal and dive deeper into each software discovery step you should go through to build a successful application.
