Is your Software Ready for the Next Build?

The Need for Speed: Ensuring Agility with Incremental Release

In a quest to deliver features faster, achieve higher flexibility, better satisfy customer requirements and overhaul competition, organizations are breaking through the barriers of traditional software development processes like Waterfall model, and instead taking the Agile DevOps path which is both iterative and incremental. Thus, there is a huge emphasis on shipping software faster.

This transformational journey involves removal of silos between the development, testing and operations teams, and applying shift left principles. Does this mean that we can achieve Zero Production defects? Though a fairytale dream of every organization, the Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit quotes:

“One of the fastest ways to kill motivation is what is called in the US Army a zero defects mentality. A zero defects mentality is an atmosphere that tolerates absolutely no mistakes; perfection is required down to the smallest detail. The army considers a zero defects mentality to be a serious leadership problem, because it kills the initiative necessary for success on a battlefield” — Mary & Tom Poppendieck

Thus, instead of “zero defects”, the agile organizations are all about continuous planning, continuous testing, continuous integration with ‘continuous’ being the focal area.

Integrating Software Testing in your Incremental Release

But, how do you know if your incremental build is ready?

Delivering software incrementally necessitates the Development and QA teams to work collaboratively to deliver a build. Though the nuances of day-to-day operations may vary from organization to organization, the teams adhere to the same core tenets to ensure incremental release — Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Deployment. The objective is to get feedback to the developers earlier & faster to help isolate issues enabling reliable and frequent delivery of code changes.

How we Do It @ Webomates CQ

TestOps — The Webomates advantage

With its patented tools — Webomates CQ along with AI Defect Predictor tool, Webomates ensures that for a build with release notes, all committed test cases on all browser/smartphone/tablet will be executed in the committed time. This remains true regardless of software builds that modify features, defect fixes that modify test cases/scripts, and automation timeout errors. Webomates is fully configurable to the needs of the application and the Development Teams exhibiting agility in scaling up its testing services based on the changing requirements.

Ability to Speedily Test build in Dev, Pre-Prod & Prod:

As per the scope of the build, Webomates has the agility to perform verification using CI/CD, Overnight or Full regression. It shortens the regression cycle from weeks to hours.

CI/CD — 15 mins to 1 hour

Overnight with Exploratory — 8 hours

Full with Exploratory — 24 hours

Execute Smoke Testing, Overnight and Full Regression testing

With an aim to detect major problems early in the cycle, Webomates conducts Smoke testing to expose any integration issues. Webomates helps you to scale up by getting the build checks done via various regression services like mini/Smoke test suites in Developer environments, Overnight modular test suites at lower environments like integration and FULL in staging/Production environments as per requirements.

Implement regression testing with Shift-Left approach

With the power combination of Webomates regression testing with Shift-left approach, defects are quickly identified and fixed in the staging environment itself. You start with UI testing and API testing but with Smoke suites targeting the area that the developer is working on. As the features develop, then move on to module, integration and regression testing. If the module fails, there is no point for an integration test. The developers need to go back to the module and fix it before moving on. You do not wait till the end of the lifecycle to test the entire product.

Up-to-date Test Package

As the full regressions and modular tests include healing of the test cases and test scripts for modified features, Webomates ensures that the Test Package is updated with the new behavior of the software release.

Real-time results and analysis

To address the thousands of hours lost by QA professionals, Webomates created its patented AI Defect Predictor tool and shared true Pass and true Fail reports with the development team along with an in-depth analysis of automation failures. This AI Defect Predictor is provided to the development and QA teams that use CI/CD service to help them reduce their triage time.

For 300 test cases with a failure rate of 35% (105 failed test cases), it usually takes 12 hours to triage the results and identify the false positives. Using the Defect Predictor, the time taken drastically reduces to 2–3 hours.

Conclusion:

For every incremental build, Webomates CQ can create, execute, maintain, analyze test cases and generate defects for browsers, mobile, Windows and API applications. Exact state of the system in terms of bugs is known after every check in.

With such stringent code quality checks, the defects are detected at an early stage hence are easier to fix, ultimately resulting in improved code quality and timely delivery of the product. Read our articles on Shift Left Testing in Agile and Skip Security Testing at your own risk to understand how Webomates can helpWith the power combination of Webomates regression testing with you in building a good product where UI, API, Load, and Security are not left out to be tested as a different component at the end.

Understanding the Basics of DevOps

The term ‘DevOps’, coined in 2009, refers to a culture that promotes a holistic approach to the software development lifecycle (SDLC) by building stronger relations between the software development and IT operation divisions in an organization.

DevOps and the art of keeping secrets

The main objective of DevOps is to completely break down barriers between development and operations, so as to establish an effective working environment that is transparent, rapid, responsible, and smart, for the overall success of a project.

How did DevOps originate?

DevOps has its roots in Agile software development methodology which focuses on building a collaborative environment between the client and vendor, promoting cross-functional working between the various divisions in an organization, and encouraging systems thinking. The Agile method has proved to be very efficient with successful outcomes.

DevOps implements new techniques and strategies to approach the Agile philosophy. It attempts to eliminate the practice of silos, in order to build a more integrated work atmosphere, for the effective and smooth running of an organization.

Though Agile and DevOps may seem similar, they are not the same. While the Agile methodology focuses on addressing the issues between the development team and customer needs, DevOps focuses on bridging the gap between the development and operation teams.

What are the benefits of practicing DevOps?

One of the biggest advantages of adopting DevOps is that it breaks down silos. By getting rid of silos, organizations can build stronger relationships without any hierarchical distributions of power that can result in miscommunication and conflicts.

Another major benefit of incorporating the DevOps culture is that organizations can get more work done in a short span of time. The efficiency of employees increases when they work in a collaborative environment and this, in turn, will help them achieve their targets faster.

Practicing DevOps brings stability in the workings of an organization. This, in turn, builds an atmosphere of reliability and stability — a scenario which reduces the chances of failure by 50 percent.

The DevOps culture encourages team members to think of their roles as part of contributing to the bigger whole — the development of the organization itself. This improves their sense of responsibility to their work and makes them more accountable.

How can DevOps be implemented?

The best method to adopt DevOps is to implement it slowly, little by little. It takes time for people to break free from silos and adapt to an integrated environment, accept and trust new people and ideas. It is advisable to give people the time to adopt DevOps and to improve their confidence in practicing it. One way to establish an integrated environment is to encourage systems thinking and avoid making one person or a particular team responsible for a failed action or result.

Numerous organizations have benefited by adopting the DevOps culture in recent years. Though the process of adopting and practicing DevOps can seem a little challenging initially, it becomes easier to overcome the challenges once one gets accustomed to its principles and functions.

CloudNow is a software development company that strongly believes in adopting an Agile-DevOps approach throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC). For DevOps services that deliver exceptional results, contact us today.

Once Docker is installed, you can start building and running containers using Docker's command-line interface (CLI). The basic workflow involves:

Writing a Dockerfile: A text file that contains instructions for building a Docker image, specifying the base image, dependencies, environment variables, and commands to run.

Building Docker Images: Use the docker build command to build a Docker image from the Dockerfile.

Running Containers: Utilize the docker run command to create and run containers based on the Docker images.

Managing Containers: Docker provides a range of commands for managing containers, including starting, stopping, restarting, and removing containers.

Best Practices for Docker Containerization: To maximize the benefits of Docker containerization, consider the following best practices:

Keep Containers Lightweight: Minimize the size of Docker images by removing unnecessary dependencies and optimizing Dockerfiles.

Use Multi-Stage Builds: Employ multi-stage builds to reduce the size of Docker images and improve build times.

Utilize Docker Compose: Docker Compose simplifies the management of multi-container applications by defining them in a single YAML file.

Implement Health Checks: Define health checks in Dockerfiles to ensure that containers are functioning correctly and automatically restart them if they fail.

Secure Containers: Follow security best practices, such as running containers with non-root users, limiting container privileges, and regularly updating base images to patch vulnerabilities.

Conclusion: Docker containerization has revolutionized the way applications are developed, deployed, and managed, offering unparalleled agility, efficiency, and scalability. By embracing Docker, developers can streamline their development workflow, accelerate the deployment process, and improve the consistency and reliability of their applications. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just getting started, Docker opens up a world of possibilities, empowering you to build and deploy applications with ease in today's fast-paced digital landscape.

InfluxDB: A modern approach to monitoring IoT & System

In today’s world, one cannot sufficiently emphasize the importance of real-time data collection, management, and analytics. Such time series data isn’t just the fuel for IoT but its backbone as well, and you simply cannot ignore it. After all, these are tools that help you manage data, improve operations, provide better customer service, and create personalized marketing campaigns — ultimately, to help you increase your revenue and profits as a business owner.

What’s time series data, and why does it matter?

It is a sequence of data points where the same variable takes different values across a period. This could be as short as a few milliseconds or as long as several years. It could be regular (for instance, periodic CPU performance checks) or irregular (time series data logged every time an event occurs, such as a door opening)

Here’s how DevSecOps is taking over from DevOps to help businesses gain an edge

Here’s how to choose between ‘low-code, no-code’ and hand coding for your app development

Self-driving cars, for instance, use time series data, to continuously collect data about their changing environment. Increasingly more and more businesses are reliant on time series data.

Whether it’s stock trading algorithms, smart homes, or even air quality monitoring systems… if you need lightning-fast data collection and analytics, time series data is the way to go.

It’s primarily used for real-time analytics (for instance, the footage in security cameras) and in DevOps (for real-time monitoring of servers and applications).

InfluxDB: The time series database

InfluxDB is an open-source time series database purpose-built for time series data. It is essentially designed to store large volumes of time series data and quickly perform real-time analysis on that data.

Developed by InfluxData, this application is written in the Go programming language for storage and retrieval of time series data in fields such as operations monitoring, application metrics, and Internet of Things sensor data.

How can InfluxDB help your business?

Let’s take a real-life example of Trivago, an online hotel booking service. They say metrics are being sent from around 150 clients within a 10-second interval. Their InfluxDB receives 10K values/sec at a rate of 1.2MB/sec and has been storing data from more than 1.6 million series in just three months.

That’s an incredible amount of time series data being stored using InfluxDB, made possible by the fact that InfluxDB is purpose-built for time series data.

Here are four reasons why you should use InfluxDB if you aren’t already.

It is a scalable read-and-write time series database

It is optimized for fast search and retrieval of time series data

It offers a schema-less database, meaning that you can add any field at any time, even after the initial development stage

It also provides data visualization in the form of live graphs (such the rise and fall of stock prices)

How does InfluxDB work?

InfluxDB works in tandem with Telegraf (also created by the same company, Influx Data), which is an open-source data collection agent for reporting metrics. Like InfluxDB, it is also written in Go with multiple plugin support options for data sources such as Amazon CloudWatch, Google Pub/Sub, Azure Event Hub, and so on.

Traditionally, relational databases fare poorly with very large datasets, but with InfluxDB and Telegraf, your database is built to handle and ingest a relentless stream of data without negative performance impact or lag, even as your application scales and data volume grows. Cloudnow offers DevOps services and DevOps consulting services for their clients.

DevOps can be One of the Best Investments You Make for Your Restaurant Delivery Services

DevOps can be One of the Best Investments You Make for Your Restaurant Delivery Services

DevOps / By Trident Information Systems

Are your customers facing difficulties in ordering food online? Is your online delivery app crashing again and again? Is this situation frustrating you and your customers? It signals it’s time to invest in Agile DevOps. During Quarantine, the trend for online food ordering grew at an immense speed. Many restaurants already started online food delivery services, but after the lockdown, the situation got overwhelmed.  

The pandemic forced the whole world to stay at home. People stopped going out to eat and rather, ordered and ate their favorite meals at home. Results? Many applications started crashing.  

To avoid extreme situations like this, employing robust DevOps Software is a smarter decision. If you are wondering how your online delivery service should behave, given below are some points to clear that out:  

It should receive orders from the application, website, and even chatbots.  

It should successfully handle various payment gateways.  

It should send the ‘forgotten cart’ notifications to the customers to encourage them to finish their orders.  

It should be able to store order history to understand customer preferences and create loyalty programs.  

These features can be added to the application with either plugins or add-ons. You can also get them customized by a third-party service provider. Moreover, you can provide the smoothest online delivery services with Agile DevOps.  

A Ukrainian startup called All Set Now, has added 2500+ restaurants across the 12 states of the United States. This brand helped all its members to grow their delivery revenue immensely and boosted their table turnover by 200% while their customers lived happily and healthily.  

This is just the beginning of the endless opportunities to help you grow your restaurant to an unexpected level. Starting with AR/ VR to provide a preview of the custom meals to using voice assistance to place orders.  

Do you know the best part of modern technology? It helps you innovate solutions fast and on budget. However, during unexpected events like a pandemic, DevOps Solutions can be a lifesaver. Agile DevOps helps restaurants to develop and operate teams to create robust technologies to cater to frequent customers who cannot cook at home.  

What is DevOps and How Does it Work? 

DevOps is a strategy for managing cloud infrastructure and software development that enables enterprises to deploy apps and manage them in production quickly and affordably. This is accomplished by automating repetitive procedures and setting up CI/CD pipelines so that the IT systems supporting your operations may function with little assistance from your team and with little oversight. 

More importantly, DevOps Service Providers also field specialized teams of software engineers crucial for restaurants as they often don’t have an internal software development team. By doing this, you have immediate access to a team of experts who can create applications for you fast and affordably. 

So How Does Agile DevOps Work? 

The most common and time-consuming repetitive procedures are provisioning testing environments and creating new app versions while building and operating any program in a production environment. DevOps Tools enable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) utilizing toolchains like Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, and Docker. It allows you to write down in text files, or “manifests,” all the settings and variables of every computer environment required for creating your application in plain, straightforward terms. 

Using CI/CD pipelines, or Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery procedures is the next stage in the Agile DevOps journey. These are automated scenarios where the results of one operation serve as the input for the following one. If the tests are successful, CI/CD pipelines make sure that new code can be automatically tested, produced, uploaded to the staging server, tested again, and submitted to production with a single code commit. This guarantees quick and inexpensive software delivery, enabling outcomes you need to launch your application in a month rather than a year. 

The most significant benefit of a DevOps Platform is that it is a practical application of Agile methodology, allowing you to create an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for your delivery service application in a week, release it to stay connected with your regular users, and then refine it to attract new users. This might be a crucial step in addressing the unexpected dilemma and moving on effectively. 

For end-to-end software delivery services, MVP creation, and continuing Agile DevOps support, get in touch with a reputable DevOps service providers like Trident Information Systems.
