Cypress BDD integration for efficient testing

Behavior-driven development (BDD) is a software development methodology that aims to bridge the gap between business stakeholders and technical teams by emphasizing collaboration and communication. It encourages the creation of human-readable scenarios that describe the desired behavior of a system from the user's perspective. In this article, we explore how integrating Cypress with Cucumber and BDD practices can enhance the testing process by promoting better collaboration, understanding, and documentation of application behavior from a user perspective.

SmartNIC vs. NIC: what is the difference?

Our everyday life is full of networking devices and applications. When we video conference at work or watch a new movie on a streaming service at home, we barely even think about how much data needs to be transferred to ensure their correct function. We use our mobile devices with high-speed Internet access and take that for granted. But underneath the efficient work of online applications lies the stable functioning of enormous data centers and telecommunication infrastructure. Since the amount of data that needs to be processed grows every day, we keep demanding more and more processing capabilities from the networking infrastructure.

What is micro-frontend architecture? A comprehensive overview

Modern customers have more requirements for a web app than ever before. With the wide choice of mobile and web applications that exists today, it is not enough for an application to simply fulfill its functions as advertised. It also has to be highly available, scalable, and fast, and updates and new features have to come out regularly, and without a hitch. For quite some time already, creating a successful modern web application has meant overcoming the limitations of a monolithic backend. One of the most popular approaches for that is using microservices for your backend development.

Trunk-based development: best practices and strategies

All development teams strive for an agile, flexible, and efficient software development process. There are many ways to achieve it. Trunk-based development is one of the more modern approaches that is gaining attention. Let’s take a closer look at what it is, how it works, and what benefits it can bring your team. Trunk-based development is a management practice. It is a source-control branching model focusing on a single branch of code called the trunk. Trunk-based development aims to keep the trunk ready for deployment at all times.

SRE vs. DevOps — what’s the difference?

DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) are two approaches in modern software development and operations. DevOps is a methodology that embraces lean and agile principles, focusing on continuous delivery and automation throughout the software development life cycle. This approach enables frequent releases and efficient software development and deployment processes. In 2003 SRE emerged as a solution designed to support the construction of large-scale applications. Today, SRE involves a team of experts with development backgrounds, applying engineering practices to tackle common challenges in production systems.

Tungsten Fabric is closing down — what next?

Tungsten Fabric is an open-source project developed under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation. It serves as an important part of many network infrastructures. The project is, however, ending its development. Due to the community’s decision, active development and project services have ceased but the resources will remain accessible until August 1, 2024.

Platform engineering — everything you need to know

As the popularity of cloud-native applications rises steadily, software development becomes a more and more complex process. With multiple smaller autonomous teams working on separate components of your application, where each team often has a different tech stack, an isolated codebase, and even separate release procedures, it is not surprising that the amount of overhead snowballs too. Modern DevOps best practices like containerization, automated continuous deployment, infrastructure as code, and others allow developers to shorten the release cycle and develop cloud-native applications in any type of cloud environment, using complex architectures, especially those based on microservices.

Reliability engineering — its significance and key principles

Choosing a product or a service to buy is a complex process. Your own tastes play an important role, of course, but very often product reliability is what impacts your decision most of all. It is especially important when you are looking at something that can potentially serve you for many years to come. Nobody likes spending a ton of money on a device that works right now but will fail in a couple of months. However, we can all agree that nothing lasts forever. Any product or system can fail, which is why warranties exist.
