Continuous Service Virtualization, Part 1: Introduction and Best Practices

Service virtualization (SV) has evolved as a popular technique and technology over the last decade. Traditionally, SV has primarily been used by testers to simulate other application components that the application under test interacts with. Typically, virtual services have been created and maintained by center of excellence (COE) teams.

The importance of SemVer for your applications

For some developers, SemVer can look just cosmetic, nice to have, or simply useless. But SemVer format is mandatory to make reliable software. I'll explain how over one year, we encountered 2 issues related to SemVer. The first one was critical and led to a production outage, while the other was a lot of trouble for several companies to upgrade a managed service.

Package Management for Gaming Software Development

There is huge scope required when building video games. They are not just computer programs; they’re audio-visual artistic works. It’s a collaborative effort between software engineers, animators, scriptwriters, graphic designers, photographers and sound engineers. Working with these collaborators and assets leads to a different software pipeline than the average software project.

Deploy ImageLabeller with Bitbucket

Follow along with this step-by-step video series as Warren Marusiak, a senior technical evangelist, demonstrates pushing a code change to production using Bitbucket Pipelines CI/CD. To demonstrate how to develop, deploy, and manage applications using Jira Software and various connected tools, our team created ImageLabeller, a simple demo application built on AWS that uses machine learning to apply labels to images.

Practical Tips & Tricks for Speeding Up Your CI/CD Pipelines

When developing software and maintaining CI/CD and testing pipelines we are often compelled to increase our test coverage by adding more tests, and therefore improve our apps’ quality. After all, more automation equals better software, right? There’s a flipside to this equation however, and a point at which we start seeing diminishing returns from each test we add. Taken to extreme, these diminishing returns begin to actively harm our ability to deliver working software.

Continuous Software Pipelines: Why Enterprises Are Going Cloud-Native 2021 Dev Week Cloud Keynote

Why are enterprise organizations making a move from on-premise solutions to completely cloud-native? What does that mean for improving, scaling, and securing their CI/CD pipelines? And what exactly is continuous packaging, anyway? Join Dan McKinney in this Dev Week Cloud session he answers all of these questions, helping attendees understand the true difference between cloud-hosted and cloud-native, how to get started with migrating to a cloud-native solution, and the true benefits of being entirely within the cloud.
