Everyone talks about transformation these days, but the term is used so loosely that it’s begun to lose all meaning. I recently wrote a blog post suggesting that the ultimate test of transformation is whether the caterpillar became a butterfly – is it so different that it’s unrecognizable? That’s a useful metaphor, but many have asked me to make it more tangible in the world of institutions.

I’ve recently written several tutorials around GraphQL and there are more to come. However, most of these tutorials, including my eBook and video course, Web Services for the JavaScript Developer , have focused on the backend side of things and less of the frontend side of things. Knowing how to create a GraphQL powered API is great, but what if you need to query it from a client facing application?

Establishing a whole-team approach to testing in all phases of the software development lifecycle can be challenging. Even when testers use development-centric languages and IDEs to create automated tests, many developers still resist the notion of having to test their own code.

For a very long time – since when multiple CPU cores were commonly available – I dreamed about MySQL having the ability to execute queries in parallel. This feature was lacking from MySQL, and I wrote a lots of posts on how to emulate parallel queries in MySQL using different methods: from simple parallel bash script to using Apache Spark to using ClickHouse together with MySQL.

In my previous post I talked about how loading scripts asynchronously reduces the impact of JavaScript resulting in a (much) faster user experience. But even when scripts are loaded async, the browser may still twiddle its thumbs for a second or more waiting for the first script to arrive. This delay can be decreased by using link rel=preload like this: Link rel=preload is useful for downloading any important resource more quickly, such as stylesheets that contain critical CSS, fonts that are us

The sequence methods allow software testers to distribute the tests, so that the tests assigned a higher priority can be executed before the tests having a lower priority, and then use only the first tests for repeated execution. This is particularly important when the testers can afford only the repeated execution of a small number … The post Sequence Techniques Used by Best Software Testing Companies appeared first on QA Mentor Blog.

A common challenge with continuously deployed applications is that new and modified SQL queries are constantly being introduced to the application. Many companies choose to use a database monitoring system (such as PMM) to identify those slow queries. But identifying slow queries is only the start – what about actually optimizing them? In this post we’ll demonstrate a new way to both identify and optimize slow queries, by utilizing the recent integration of Percona Monitoring and Managemen

Total # of image requests. We think it's important to focus on the user experience which translates into when content is rendered to the page. We added First Contentful Paint to provide more visibility into rendering.

When we talk about UX, we often refer to the UX of the products we build and use. We want our products to be easy to use. Interactions should be quick. Mistakes should be easy to recover from. These things are also good to have in the tools we use to build software, especially programming languages. I’ve worked in a fair number of languages: Java for almost 15 years, PHP for 8, Javascript for 8, and dabbled in a few others like C# and Go.

Fast forward to today : CI/CD, and deployment automation in general, are key to how John and I work with clients at Symphonia : it doesn’t matter if you’re using all the fanciest new cloud technology if you’re still waiting weeks to put
