QUALITY ASSURANCE

QA automation — what is it and why do you need it?

The task of QA is not only verification or validation but also to take a holistic view of a project to find and implement appropriate work and process methodologies. From this article you will learn more about QA automation—what it is, how to implement it, and how it can improve the development process. QA (quality assurance) focuses on fulfilling all the needed software requirements to provide the user/client with the best quality product. Quality assurance is not only about detecting the bugs themselves but it is also about tailoring test types to the software from the very beginning of the project.

IPSec — what is it and how does it work?

The Internet has expanded more and faster than anyone expected. The rate of development has been so rapid that the Internet Protocol standards (IPv4) cannot meet the current expectations and requirements, especially regarding security and supporting the growing number of IP addresses. As the network expanded, the amount of sensitive data grew. Information, like financial transactions or internal company communications, needs to be secure. IPSec was introduced as one of the solutions protecting this kind of data by encryption and authentication between endpoints.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Why Golang may be a good choice for your project

Go (or Golang) is an open-source programming language originally created by Google that has been gaining in popularity due its high performance, expressiveness and readability. This blog post will describe the Go programming language’s origins, main features, and advantages for programmers and businesses. At the end of the article, you will find the use cases where Golang works best. When Google was growing exponentially, it had to deal with problems of scale. They simply had lots of everything: tens of thousands of engineers, lots of software and systems, millions of lines of code (especially behind their network servers) being developed by hundreds of programmers, and finally lots of hardware on which all this software was launched.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Risk management in software development projects

Among the various technology fields, software development might be one of the most inherently difficult to predict and plan. By nature, digital products are intangible and software engineering projects often involve many stakeholders. Software development processes tend to include multiple stages - including design, documentation, programming, and testing phases - and all of them require a high level of technological and management expertise. Because of the complex nature of digital projects, a wide variety of risks need to be considered and managed from the outset of any software project.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Next.js — what do you need to know?

The Next.js framework is often appreciated both by developers and clients as a real helping hand when it comes to building front ends. However, there is still a lack of resources that clearly show the advantages of Next.js and how it can really help during the application development process. This article is full of the knowledge of Next.js that developers look for, and here they can learn about what Next.js is, what problems it solves, and its pros and cons. Next.js is an open-source JavaScript framework created by Vercel (previously Zeit).

Usability vs. user experience in network application design

User experience and usability are equally crucial issues in digital product design—although not necessarily at every stage of the software development life cycle. Especially when designing complex solutions and systems for the network industry. This is not as controversial as it sounds. Read on to find out why. Usability is a fundamental rule when designing a functional digital product. Bearing usability in mind, you adjust your product’s design to meet the needs of its target audience. Usability includes factors such as button size, legibility, and the selection of user-friendly contrasts and colors.

The Catalyst 9300 platform by Cisco — what it is and how you can use it

Network infrastructure has to handle ever-increasing amounts of data. It enables data exchange between employees’ devices as well as communication with the internet. However, companies should be aware of possible external and internal attacks that can infiltrate a network infrastructure and cause security breaches. Therefore, the creation of network infrastructure has to be both efficient and secure. In this article you will learn how you can use Cisco’s Catalyst 9300 platform to mitigate these risks.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Quality Assurance trends for 2022

Today’s world is dominated by the still ongoing digital transformation of nearly every aspect of our lives. Many of us can’t imagine the world without electronic devices (which are continuously forming the IoT world) or online services. The world of IT keeps growing alongside the industries within it. Although nearly all of us are consumers of digital services, not everyone is aware of what’s behind the quality of the end product that we experience. The ‘insiders,’ namely the people working in the IT industry, are usually aware of the term Quality Assurance, yet many only associate it with testing.

Data-Driven Design: how to define goals and metrics

What’s measured gets managed. Numbers have an important story to tell’. Whether Peter Drucker said this or not doesn't matter, it's true when designing digital products. Even if product design is often considered an art, it’s data collection that helps to create a better user experience. Web and application design choices should be based on real evidence about the user’s needs and behavior. Let’s explain what data-driven design is, why it is important, and how to define goals and metrics. Data-driven decision making is the process of creating user-friendly software or apps should always be guided by information about what works and what doesn’t.

We've previously explained how VPP processes packets in vectors as opposed to processing each packet end to end. But how is this processing spread across CPU cores? How exactly is a vector of packets structured?
