Intro to proxymock, a free traffic-based service mocking tool within VS Code.

Jan 22, 2025 By Speedscale In Speedscale
Speedscale's proxymock is a free VS Code plugin that passively listens to transactions, so developers can replay past responses or inbound transactions like a time machine. Past transactions can serve as non-rate-limited service mocks, editable databases, or even regression/load/chaos tests. Building service mocks to serve as service virtualization/mocks can be time consuming and manual. Maintaining complex, shared environments for engineering incurs expensive cloud costs and aren't often accurate.

Essential KPIs for Software Development: Measure Success Effectively

Jan 10, 2025 By Nate Lee In Speedscale
In almost all industries, a standard set of KPIs helps to guide teams on whether they are doing the right things in the right ways, with the right outcomes. In software development, this is something that can sometimes go untouched, allowing ourselves and fellow developers to continually work on our code and platforms without making sure we are paying attention to what matters. Some development frameworks, such as Agile, have some KPIs baked directly into them. For example, when calculating your team's story point velocity, you likely establish a benchmark after a few sprints, which becomes a team KPI to meet or exceed.
