Find out more about the different approach in software development

Serious defects happen, despite the best efforts of QA departments. Here’s what you can learn from real world screw-ups, so you can avoid making the same mistakes.

Developers sometimes try to use feature development strategies to find bugs—and that doesn't always work. How do we know when our debugging process doesn’t work? and what alternative strategies can we adopt so we can find bugs more easily?

Experienced programmers have tales to tell about the things they had to do to test and debug their applications. They agree on one thing: The bad ol’ days of development are best left in the past.

Crowdsourcing has drawn a lot of attention as a way of predicting and mapping future coronavirus hotspots based on user-reported symptoms. However, it’s also an increasingly popular approach to software application testing, engineering, and quality assurance.

Most development shops want QA testers involved in creating their new software. But what’s the proper ratio of testers to developers? Yes, “it depends,” but let’s look at the answers to, “…on what?”

The key to successful use of test-automation tools is to correctly calibrate expectations: Recognize what the software can do and be equally aware of what it cannot do. That helps you make useful decisions in the most important areas: what can and should be automated, how it should be done, and who should do it.

You’ve got a new application underway. You need to map out some kind of testing schedule. Here’s advice from the experts about how to do it.

Applications need to go global, but language support comes at a cost. For one thing, supporting multiple languages demands additional testing rigor.

Every software QA team keeps records about the bugs it finds. But which data points are really worthwhile to track? These four guidelines might help.

Cloud-native applications function differently from the software you deploy onsite. Testing the software works differently, too.

Given crypto #blockchain myriad memes, metaphors i.e., "hashgraph" "Ether gas"are creating new data elements syntax lexicons... DoD / NATO's structured data exchange (mapped to symbol sets for A.I - man - machine interface) took decades to achieve consensus.

In this tutorial you'll take a basic theme and edit the template files so they're ready for hooks and functions to be added to them for your framework. The purpose of this tutorial is to tidy up the theme so that code isn't duplicated, which means you'll be creating include files for the loop. This means you won't have to create duplicate loops in your child themes when you create new template files, and if you need to edit the loop you only have to do it once.

In 2014, if you have a website that isn’t responsive, it doesn’t count. Responsive web design has now become a standard when it comes to creating new websites.

WordPress is full of great functions for us developers to use. We can pull post lists out of thin air, manipulate almost everything about them, grab any user we wish and display their social media connections in a jiffy. Let’s take a look at some of my favourite overlooked functions and learn how to use them along the way.

Setting up a local environment for WordPress is a common need for developers. Since everything runs on your computer, loading times are significantly lower and you can safely test things before you try them out in a live production environment. In this guide I’ll give you easy to follow, instructions on how to set up Vagrant you can copy and paste. We’ll go from zero to a fully functioning WordPress installation, so let’s dig in!

Our discussion about LESS continues–this time we’re going to look into LESS Mixins. With Mixins we can define a group of style declarations once and then reuse them throughout the stylesheet. It helps keep our code DRY as well as producing CSS in a more efficient way, particularly when dealing with complex CSS3 syntax. LESS provides different types of Mixins with their very own purpose; they can be straight-forward Mixins, or they can work as a (sort of) Function.
