Simplifying AWS Testing: A Guide to AWS SDK Mock

Testing AWS services is an essential step in creating robust cloud applications. However, directly interacting with AWS during testing can be complicated, time-consuming, and expensive. The AWS SDK Mock is a JavaScript library designed to simplify this process by allowing developers to mock AWS SDK methods, making it easier to simulate AWS service interactions in a controlled environment. Primarily used with AWS SDK v2, AWS SDK Mock integrates with Sinon.js to mock AWS services like S3, SNS, and DynamoDB.

How to parameterize and configure your custom Playwright fixtures

Join Stefan Judis in this Playwright tutorial, where he explains how to make your custom Playwright fixtures configurable using "option fixtures". Stefan briefly explains the fixture concept but then focuses on creating an option fixture configurable on a global, project, and spec file basis.

Setting Up Efficient Kubernetes Environments for Developers

Kubernetes has transformed how developers build, test, and deploy applications, providing a consistent platform for managing containerized workloads. Setting up efficient Kubernetes clusters is crucial for streamlining the development process, reducing time-to-market, and ensuring that applications run reliably from development to production.

Seasonal Holiday Readiness Testing with Production Traffic

Many businesses depend on seasonal products, offerings, and campaigns. Seasonal traffic usually refers to high traffic levels because of festival seasons like Thanksgiving and Christmas and sales events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Boxing Day. These impact a wide range of industries, such as travel, hospitality, social activities, and, most prominently, e-commerce. If your business is primarily run online, you'll need your applications to be elastic and flexible enough to handle this significant increase in traffic to cater to demand and also maintain a good user experience for your customers.

Top 10 API Monitoring Tools in 2024 [Including Open Source]

Using a Mock Server: Understanding Efficient API Testing

API testing is critical to modern software development, ensuring that applications communicate seamlessly and function as expected. However, setting up testing environments that accurately mimic real-world conditions can be complex, time-consuming, and costly. APIs often change, and dependencies on third-party services or backend systems can delay the development process, making it challenging to conduct reliable tests in real-time.

Streamline Your Maintenance Modes: Automate DX UIM with UIMAPI

The UIMAPI is a RESTful API that allows you to perform almost any action in your DX UIM environment programmatically. The Swagger front-end serves as a guide, enabling you to execute REST endpoints manually, but many customers prefer to automate these actions using a program.

Exploring Practical Applications of Facility Management Software

Over the recent past, facility management has accepted transformational change by embracing advanced technology that replaces traditional processes with more sophisticated computer-aided technologies. This has been occasioned by the increasing demand for effective, resource-, time- and cost-conscious management of organizational operations. Managers can now employ complex applications and software that provide real-time data and planning features, thus setting a benchmark for the facility industry across various sectors.

Speedscale vs Coder: Ephemeral Developer Environments for Different Needs

Speedscale and Coder are two distinct tools that, while both aim to increase developer productivity, serve fundamentally different purposes. Both provide software development environments for enhancing productivity and collaboration in software development teams.
