What is iteration?

Feb 13, 2024 By Naho Serikyaku In CircleCI
In Agile development, where development is repeated in short periods, the key unit of the development cycle is called an iteration. Iterations, consisting of Design, Development, Testing, and Improvement are usually set for 1 to 4 weeks, and they are characterized by completing a full cycle of system development. After completing one cycle and releasing it, known as Iteration 1, the process is repeated with Iteration 2, Iteration 3, and so on.the.

Build and test LLM applications with AIConfig and CircleCI

Feb 4, 2024 By Jonathan Lessinger In CircleCI
The power of LLMs to solve real-world problems is undeniable, but unfortunately, in some cases, only theoretical. What’s stopping us from getting the most out of OpenAI’s text completion capabilities in production apps? One common problem is the inability to confidently guard against bad outputs in production the way we’re used to doing with non-AI test suites. Let’s go one step deeper. There is no equivalent of code coverage for an LLM.

The testing pyramid: Strategic software testing for Agile teams

Jan 26, 2024 By Jacob Schmitt In CircleCI
The testing pyramid model untangles the complexity of software testing by fitting it into an efficient hierarchical structure. By focusing on unit tests at the base, integration tests in the middle, and end-to-end tests at the top, the testing pyramid ensures that most testing efforts are spent on tests that are fast, reliable, and easy to maintain. This allows for quicker iterations, improved code quality, and more stable releases.

Integrating AI and DevOps for Software Development Teams

Jan 26, 2024 By CircleCI In CircleCI
For a long time, the domains of Machine Learning and AI on one side, and software development on the other side, were separate kingdoms. Sometimes, they touched, and something magical would happen. But more often, things didn’t really work out. They faced challenges stemming from a lack of mutual understanding, shared language, and compatible tools. With the meteoric rise and increased accessibility of powerful generative AI and LLMs, the need for collaboration to achieve real-world engineering and customer value has never been more vital.

LLM hallucinations: How to detect and prevent them with CI

Jan 24, 2024 By Michael Webster In CircleCI
An LLM hallucination occurs when a large language model (LLM) generates a response that is either factually incorrect, nonsensical, or disconnected from the input prompt. Hallucinations are a byproduct of the probabilistic nature of language models, which generate responses based on patterns learned from vast datasets rather than factual understanding.

What is microservices architecture?

Jan 22, 2024 By Jacob Schmitt In CircleCI
Microservices architecture is a method of developing software systems that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services, each focusing on a single function or business capability. Each service operates within a discrete, confined context, communicating with other services through well-defined interfaces — typically APIs.

Test-driven development (TDD) explained

Jan 17, 2024 By Jacob Schmitt In CircleCI
Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that involves writing tests for your code before you write the code. This approach has transformed the development methodology around testing. While the traditional waterfall model of software development was linear, with testing occurring near the end of one long timeline, TDD makes testing an ongoing, iterative process.
