DevSecOps aims to boost team productivity by increasing access between development and operations teams. The DevSecOps methodology integrates security into all phases of software delivery to instantly resolve security issues.  It is sometimes known as "shift left" security, which simply refers to integrating security into the development process as early as feasible.  This guarantees that software is tested for security flaws before release, developers consider security when writing code, and IT teams have systems in place for promptly resolving security concerns should they arise after deployment.   Benefits of Implementing DevSecOps  Decreased Complexity Infrastructure as code (IaC), vulnerability scanning, CIEM, CWPP, and other processes are all combined into a single CNAPP solution as part of an efficient DevSecOps approach.  Additionally, it assists your teams in identifying and resolving problems early in the software development cycle. This decreases th...

  DataOps, also known as Data operations, is an enterprise-wide data management technique that streamlines the data flow from the origin to the value. It aims to make the procedure of delivering value from data quicker. Many enterprises are utilising the DataOps technology to streamline the data and cut down the time of advanced analytics.  Data Operations aims to cut down the cost of data management, enhance the data quality and provide quick insights to the analysts and businesses.  DevOps is the technology that companies use to combine development & operations. One can also use this technology to improve team collaboration and quick software delivery.  The companies using DevOps technology can expect improved efficiency, better communication between teams, and faster execution of client feedback.  Data operations and DevOps – both the technologies are based on the agile frameworks that accelerate the working cycles. However, there are many differences as...

  Compromised database belonging to ProctorU impacted 18 different companies and exposed 386 million records.  An intruder gained access to the Ubiquity Networks database through third-party servers. Ubiquity is one of the world's biggest vendors of IoT devices.  Every IT company aspires to be on every media agency's "hot news" and "latest headline" section, but not with such negative news. That's why DevSecOps security was introduced. Current Scenario Of Application Security System Cybersecurity threats are on the rise. And even the industry-leading organisations are falling prey to viscous data thefts and IT infrastructure vandalism. To combat this pernicious trend, Government policies are being revised and updated. But are they enough?  No. In fact, many Government officials have urged the independent organisation to implement robust security protocols and adopt test environment management best practices to minimise cyberattacks.  In the current scen...

  DataOps is an evolving approach to managing data. What if you had a streamlined technique like DevOps for data processing and management?  Thankfully, there is! DataOps framework .  DataOps, short for “data operations”, is an automated, process-oriented methodology to improve the quality and reduce the end-to-end cycle time of data analytics. Analytics and data teams are increasingly using the DataOps framework to produce high-quality data faster.  This article will discuss 5 ways to create a successful DataOps Framework. 5 Ways To Create A Successful DataOps Framework Embrace The Data Literacy Culture Data-driven results give you a competitive advantage. But before you start leveraging data, you’ll need to understand what types of datasets already exist within your organisation and how they are processed and utilised. This process is known as an audit.  An audit enables you to determine an organisational benchmark of current data use and provides an opportuni...

  Long downtimes, annoying bugs, unsatisfied users!  All these things are not just daunting for your development team but for your organisation as well.  In the ever-evolving and advancing IT industry, you can’t afford to release half-baked application features. To avoid expensive delays in your delivery pipeline and keep your organisational workflows running smoothly, you should invest in a well-strategized release management implementation plan and robust tools.  Application release management is a comprehensive process that encompasses software development, test environment management , deployment, and release.  Although the best practices for software release management might vary, a set of definitive processes remains the same for every organisation. Best Practices To Include In Your Release Management Implementation Plan 1. Review The Existing Release Process For improving a process, you’ll need to examine your existing process and determine the major area...

Since the dawn of technology-driven processes and increased demand for automation, IT landscapes have undergone a paradigm shift. Businesses want a shorter time to market, maintain quality while acquiring a lower cost for ownership.  And that’s not the end. Now organizations need to keep up with the modern trends to stay afloat in the present competitive market. Social media marketing, big data solutions, and multi-channel solutions are the few trends to add to the list.  The increased complexity of the current demands placed on solution delivery life cycles leads to release schedules slide or lengthen organically over time. Why is Test Environment Management Important?  Weak test environment management leads to an array of challenges for the organization-  System instability resulting in delivery disruption.  Slow, untimely, and manual IT environment service operations.  Environments unfit for purpose, i.e., not supporting DevTest.  Over-proliferatio...

  Software companies are mounting, and every organization is trying to market fast. IT landscapes no longer want to compromise with the deliverables of higher levels of quality. With the lower cost of ownership, IT organizations want to speed up the software release schedules. The top IT companies are in the hunt for tracing better ways to accomplish the fundamental aims. Some organizations are willing to cut the infrastructure cost by five to ten percent. When an organization has the right environment, it can automatically move to the next step of increasing team productivity by thirty percent. Successfully testing the business applications from end-to-end across multiple user channels is a need to do. For ensuring the controlled change across IT landscapes, there is the need to deliver support practices. Brief On Techniques Let’s check the recent techniques used for identifying accurate test environments. The key areas responsible for strategizing the test environment management ...

To set up a well-designed test environment, it is imperative to have a comprehensive and effective IT test environment management strategy in place. There is no other option left as, without one, you may end up in absolute chaos during the testing phase of a software development life cycle. This will ultimately have a significant impact on the effectiveness and suitability of the test results.  Since the testing approach differs with each code requisite, a standard test environment does not hold true. It is, therefore, imperative that the test environment management is done in such a way that it can easily be customised on the basis of a specific code under scrutiny.  It would help if you also kept this in mind that designing, configuring and setting up a test environment is not an easy feat to achieve as there are lots of variables involved. This makes it essential to have a robust test environment management strategy on top of a skilled test environment manag...

Today, the technology landscape is taking a paradigm shift. Organizations want to deliver high-performing and glitch-free applications along with less time to market. They are placing their fundamental aims high and implementing ways to keep up the pace for achieving the same.  Before the efficient Test Environment Management tools came into the picture, critical tasks assignment generally lead to increased cycle time and hefty development costs. The increased complexity and the requirement of integration through various stages of development have made it imperative for organizations to adopt with right and efficient Test Environment Management.  It facilitates end-to-end testing of applications on various user channels and also gives complete control over the development practices. By implementing dedicated TEM, IT organizations have the advantage of reduced cost, faster time to market, and high-quality products. It is surprising to know that TEM speeds up t...
