Obviously, with the domain knowledge that they have got, sometimes it gets challenging to train users, make them understand metaphors, and, more importantly, change their point-of-view. All of this is occurring due to an increasingly day-by-day difference in opinions between developers and users. For that reason, testing bridges the gap between them and provides successful implementation and deployment of a product. This article will specifically focus on User-Interface Testing and how it impacts the overall delivery of an application. Front-End Testing
7/28/2023A lot of things have changed as a result of the COVID 19 Pandemic. Due to it, the IT business has had to move at a very quick rate, and now it is common for people to work from home. Now, more than ever before, businesses are working to put into place a variety of security policies and procedures that will ensure the complete safety of their organization's assets. A strategy approach in cybersecurity known as "Zero Trust" protects a business by removing all forms of implicit confidence and continuously validating each stage of a digital connection. This method is designed to keep hackers out. To put it another way, the idea behind this is that you should never believe anything without first checking it out: "Never Trust Always Verify." Utilizing robust authentication and authorization procedures at each level enables the organization to safeguard modern and evolving environments while also facilitating digital transformation. This is one of zero trust's primary purposes. It protects the network in multiple ways, including by segmenting the network, blocking lateral movement, offering Layer 7 threat prevention, and simplifying granular "least access" regulations. Traditional security models that are used today are based on the antiquated assumption that everything contained within an organization's network ought to be implicitly trusted. Because of this implicit trust, once users are connected to the network, they have complete freedom to move laterally and access or exfiltrate critical data. There are no granular security measures to prevent them from doing so. The flaws discovered in this system led to the development of the Zero Trust model. Is the Zero Trust Architecture Really Necessary?

However, the core engineering work boils down to a bunch of developers. The product needs to be built well before it is marketed. So, the foremost factor in building a great product is by bringing the best out of the developers. While user experience (UX) has been the buzz of the tech world for quite some time now, developer experience is the new talk of the town. The productivity of developers is always directly related to building a performant and efficient piece of software. Improving Developer Productivity with Developer Experience Putting it in an abstract manner, everything that removes the verbosity in the development cycle directly or indirectly contributes to the betterment of productivity.

Started by Google in 2014, it has since become a widely popular open source container orchestration system. While this tool has evolved a lot in these 8 years, there are still certain problems that we need to work through on our own. In this article, we will learn how to protect our Kubernetes pods and clusters and discuss some of the Kubernetes security best practices. 1. Enable RBAC Role-based access control (RBAC) is one of the best security practices in Kubernetes, allowing administrators to grant and limit access to certain users and groups, and specify who can and cannot do what on the Kubernetes cluster. To enable RBAC permissions for Kubernetes resources, we must give a role for a namespaced resource and a ClusterRole for a non-namespaced resource to Kubernetes. RBAC adds an extra layer of security by allowing administrators to create administrative rules, give or take permissions, provide access to users, cluster role binding, and allow role binding.
