Your Continuous Testing Capabilities and Challenges [4-minute survey]

Continuous testing isn’t just about automation or CI/CD pipelines — it's synonymous to testing throughout the SDLC. It's about automating those tests and about implementing the right policies and procedures to ensure testing is performed whenever necessary, whether automated or manual.

Our upcoming report will explore continuous testing capabilities, challenges, and emerging approaches in 2020 and beyond. For individuals who have a role in testing at their organization, your insights will be a key part of our research.

Designing Microservices With Cassandra

As a thriving software development technique, microservices — and its underlying architecture — remain foundational to cloud-native applications. Apache Cassandra is a natural complement given that it's a database designed for the cloud. This Refcard examines the benefits of microservices architecture, demonstrates recommended data modeling techniques, and explains key microservice design principles for Cassandra using a sample hotel application.

Getting Started With Cyber Ranges

Nearly every major company is redefining themselves as a software or technology company, and leaders are making cybersecurity one of their top priorities with a particular focus on workforce development. A growing number of bootcamps and programs are providing modern approaches to practical skills training, such as hands-on learning via simulated environments. This Refcard provides a brief overview and history of Cyber Ranges and quick examples of techniques to use on a live-action website.

Hybrid Relational/JSON Data Modeling and Querying

JSON has become the de facto standard for sending and receiving data. Within relational databases, JSON support includes hybrid data modeling and querying via standard SQL. For new applications, or those being refactored, now is the perfect time to adopt a hybrid relational/JSON data model to streamline development and provide greater flexibility in the future.

Are You Taking the Right Approach to Cloud Databases?

Trends in cloud data storage continue to accelerate at a rapid pace.
