Webinar recap 🎥 - Understanding Hexagonal Architecture: Ports and AdaptersBlog

This article is an overview of the Hexagonal Architecture webinar with @alistair_cockburn. You can view the webinar in its entirety here. Hexagonal ArchitectureHexagonal Architecture, also known as Ports and Adapters, is a design pattern that plays a pivotal role in modern software development. Its primary purpose is to create flexible and maintainable software systems by separating the core application logic from external interfaces and concerns. In this article, we will delve into the concepts and ideas discussed in a lecture on Hexagonal Architecture and explore its benefits, costs, and real-world applications. Introduction to Hexagonal ArchitectureAt its core, Hexagonal Architecture is about creating a clear boundary between the essential logic of an application and its interactions with external systems and interfaces. This separation allows developers to design software that is highly adaptable, testable, and resistant to change, making it an invaluable tool in the world of softw

5 best practices for performance testing at the speed of AgileBlog

By Larry Loeb, Veteran Technology Editor and AuthorBehold, the five best practices that can help maximize advantages while assisting with load testing in an Agile environment.1. Make performance SLAs a focus areaPerformance needs to be somewhere on the task board if the team is going to give it attention. Otherwise, it will get ignored. One effective way to ensure inclusion of performance is using your performance service level agreements (SLAs) as acceptance testing for each story. That means the story cannot be “done” if changes will cause the application to fall short of the SLAs.This discipline works well if the changes made to the story will affect a relatively small section of the overall code. The performance issues would, therefore, be confined to a portion of the application.For SLAs that are general across the entire application, tests should be added to a more extensive list of constraints (which may include functional tests) that will be tested for every story to determine

🤔 Deployment Dilemma: To Friday or Not to Friday? 🚀

Hey Shiftsync community! 👋 I hope you're all having a fantastic Friday. Today, I want to dive into a topic that has been a hot debate in the tech world for a long time – should we deploy on Fridays? 📅 Opinions on this matter are as diverse as our favorite programming languages, and I'd love to hear your thoughts and stories on this! Here's my take: I'm a firm believer that Fridays are a day for wrapping up the week, reflecting on accomplishments, and preparing for a well-deserved weekend. Rushing a deployment at the end of the week might lead to increased stress, last-minute issues, and the risk of having to work over the weekend to resolve unforeseen problems. That being said, I know some teams who swear by Friday deployments, arguing that it allows them to catch and address issues promptly, should they arise. They claim it gives them a head start on Monday, and it aligns with agile principles of continuous delivery. So, what's your perspective? 🤷‍♂️👍 Do you advocate for Friday de

Has DevOps delivered on its promise of improving both speed AND quality in your software engineering practices?

DevOps ways of working are designed to both accelerate the flow of work and simultaneously improve the quality, reliability and scalability of digital products. But research data suggests this hasn’t yet worked for everyone and that the majority of organisations are stalling in their implementations, unable to reach higher levels of capability. Where are you at with DevOps in your organization? Is it everything you hoped it would be? (Best answer wins a copy of Investments Unlimited!)

Would you say there is Java specific for testing?

When you learn a programming language you usually do not learn it for a very narrow and specific purpose. Or do you?Do you think that you can say that there is somenthing like Java for testers? And if there is what does that mean? What do you learn?

Meetups - what are your expectations from a real life event?

Hey everyone, so I have a question for all of you. Recently, I have started my first ever Meetup group and before that I already went to couple of developer meetups, but I was wondering what do usually expect on the Meetups you are attending (two standard talks + networking afterwards or just one longer presentation)? Also are there any testing Meetups you are attending/enjoying?

AppSec: SAST, DAST, IAST and RASP

Some time ago about what is SAST and DAST emerged in one of the community threads which inspired me to write this short article explaining the difference between SAST, DAST, IAST and RASP using a clever analogy.Before we start explaining the terms, try to imagine yourself as a castellan who is concerned about protecting his castle (your computer system) from the savage raiders (cyber threats).Our application is like a castle we have to protect SAST - Static Application Security TestingNaturally, you would want to prevent most of the issues when the castle is not yet built. I mean, it's much easier to change the design of a certain wall before it is built rather than after it's already standing. And how to spot the potential issues? By carefully examining the blueprints and looking for the issues. This is when SAST (Static Application Security Testing) comes into play. When looking for flaws using SAST, the castellan should ask himself questions such as: "Do the walls have the right thi

How are Shiftsyncers venting/relaxing after work?

For me, it’s cycling to and from work - it only takes me like 10 minutes, but I wouldn’t change that for the world. I also spend a significant part of my day (2-3 hours/day) in different parks/playgrounds/woods playing/walking with my son and when the night falls I like to either grab a good book, watch some tv or play HOMM3 :) I used to train kickboxing, but after partially tearing ligaments in my left knee some years ago I’ve put a pause on that activity - am planning to get back to it :) So, what do you do to vent off / relax after work ?

Book(s) recommendation

As the title states, what books would you recommend for one to read to improve in the field of testing ? These could be both technical and non-techincal. I saw in one reply that James Bach recommends looking into: Epistemology Philosophy/History of Science Sociology/Psychology Cognitive Science Rhetoric/Critical Analysis Certain branches of mathematics: statistics, set theory, discrete mathematics, combinatorics.Any suggestions regarding any of the above mentioned topics ? Thanks in advance :)

ShiftSync Video 📺: How do you do your Automated Checks?

Not all tests actually test. The fact that you have 1000 tests in your test suite does not mean that if they all green that your application does not have bugs. Confused? Curios? Check the video of @IOan to see more information on the topic and what format you should/can use for your tests to make sure that they actually test.

Call-for-Authors: Quality Engineering Perspectives

Hello Community!I’m Paul, Head of Incubation under the Office of Strategy here at Tricentis. We have been working on an initiative called “Quality Engineering Perspectives”, a collection of topic articles and eventually subject-matter curated sections that provide vendor-neutral opinionated perspectives (see where the name comes from?) on how to develop, support, and improve Quality Engineering culture in organizations.We would love for you to contribute, either content or even just feedback, about our endeavor here. The goal is to provide useful educational material scoped to quality engineering for practitioners, managers, even executives. Since the appetite for detail is diverse across these audiences, each article summarizes and then digs a bit deeper on pros/cons, but isn’t to get too far into the technical nitty-gritty or hands-on how-to details.If you have even 15-30 minutes, we’d be more than happy to discuss one-on-one with you how you might contribute to this work. Feel free

Demystifying Saga Design Pattern in C#: A Cure for Distributed Transactional Woes

Demystifying Saga Design Pattern in C#: A Cure for Distributed Transactional WoesIn the world of distributed systems, managing transactions across different services can often pose a significant challenge. Traditional approaches like the 2-Phase commit and 3-Phase commit patterns have been reliable companions in monolithic applications, yet they fall short when it comes to modern, distributed environments. This article explores the Saga Design Pattern, a powerful approach that addresses these issues in a distributed setting. We will delve into its definition, types, and the concept of compensation, illustrated with a real-world e-commerce platform example. The Problem at HandWhen it comes to transactions in a monolithic architecture, the typical approach is the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) model, with distributed transactions implemented via the 2-Phase or 3-Phase commit patterns. However, these models run into scalability and performance issues in distributed s
