Introduction The DevOps movement has changed the way software teams work, from build and test to deployment and release. DevOps reduced time to release and increased software quality by focusing on collaboration, automation, and feedback. An integral piece to this is CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment). But in today’s world, companies don’t deploy to only one cloud. They frequently operate in multi-cloud using a combination of AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and even on-premises. Pipelines through such various infrastructure are difficult to operate. In this blog, we will try to …

In the software development world, an ideal development environment is a key to developing resourceful software products but sometimes maintaining and configuring this development environment becomes a herculean time-consuming task. That’s where the Vagrant virtual machine manager comes into play.
Software Engineering concepts of continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment are the main concepts attributed to CI/CD. This enables automation in building, testing and deployment of applications. Though a real CI/CD pipeline is not easy to build the right tools could help to keep it more manageable. In this blog, we compare Jenkins and Bamboo.
API Testing Automation in AWS
API stands for Application Programming Language, API testing mainly focuses on testing themselves on API directly and also used as a part of integration testing to check the compatibility, security and to verify functional paths, functionality and reliability between two different applications. The whole new generation prefers API instead of GUI testing because it is considered as the most stable interface to do the system under test. API automation can help to increase efficiency and expedite the testing. Here we emphasize, how to automate the API test using serverless technologies, …
