Reducing flaky test failures

Testing is vital because it helps you discover bugs before you release software, enabling you to deliver a high-quality product to your customers. Sometimes, though, tests are flaky and unreliable. Tests may be unreliable because of newly-written code or external factors. These flaky tests, also known as flappers, fail to produce accurate and consistent results. If your tests are flaky, they cannot help you find (and fix) all your bugs, which negatively impacts user experience.

Signed Pipelines Build Trust in your Software Supply Chain

Trust isn’t given, it’s earned. As the Russian proverb advises, Доверяй, но проверяй — or as U.S. President Ronald Reagan liked to repeat, “Trust, but verify.” We designed JFrog Pipelines to securely support a large number of teams, applications, users and thousands of pipelines.

The Industry's First Private Distribution Network

Private Distribution Network (PDN) enables enterprises to easily set up and manage a secure, massively scalable, hybrid distribution network for software updates. This new innovative technology accelerates software distribution 40X to speed up deployments and concurrent downloads across large-scale environments spanning hybrid infrastructure, edges, and IoT devices. PDN provides two integrated network utilization and acceleration technologies - HTTP-based, secure P2P, and CDN - that can be rolled out across large-scale mixed-infrastructure and multi-tiered, customizable network topologies, and are managed as-a-service with usage-based pricing.

What's New from JFrog: Binary Lifecycle Management at Scale

JFrog’s annual swampUp DevOps conference always brings new, exciting features to further our vision of accelerating releases through liquid software. This year was no exception, as JFrog CTO Yoav Landman and CPO Dror Bereznitsky revealed innovations for the JFrog DevOps Platform that enable end-to-end binary lifecycle management. Enterprise DevOps and large-scale modern application delivery require robust management of binaries, which are the building blocks of applications.

Adding IaC security scans to your CI pipeline with Indeni

With CircleCI, there are many different CI/CD flows that can be automated. One such flow is the use of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to build cloud environments. For example, you can use CircleCI to automate the process of building Terraform plans and applying them, in order to create massive production setups in AWS, Azure, GCP, and other cloud environments.
