5 Essential Considerations Prior to Building an API

An API is a process where one application, website, or software can talk to another and provides a way for the developers of one application to interact with the components of another application. The goal is to make it easier for people who are working on different projects at the same time to work together seamlessly. There are various reasons that an API may be needed. We can see many companies using APIs in their software development processes, such as Slack, Google Docs, Facebook, and Gmail.

Agile Regression Testing: How to Do It Well

For teams following agile software development practices, regression testing is a must. Agile teams constantly make changes to live software that can introduce regressions (or, code changes that break the functionality of part of an app). Regression testing can keep teams from shipping critical bugs to production by confirming the most important parts of an app are still working every time new code is pushed.

Three Ways to Debug Code in Elixir

Elixir provides a very powerful suite of tools that devs can use to observe the behavior of their code and debug errors. There are several different strategies you can use to debug code in Elixir. While it is hard to produce a comprehensive list of all possible debugging methods, we will cover some of the most common methods in today’s post.

Beautifully simple: Yellowfin Brand Guidelines 2022

Fishies, say hello to the new Yellowfin Brand, and Brand Guidelines. Now, we shouldn’t actually say ‘brand new’ because the logo and some of the elements are a progression from what is currently our brand. But, as you have heard us say many times, our brand is not just the logo, fonts and colors. The Yellowfin brand encompasses the reason we do what we do, and it sits behind why we develop the products we develop. It’s why we code what we code.

Testing APIs is Every Bit Important as Testing the UI

What I see too often though is folks running multiple UI tests in an attempt to validate specific output values or logic. A much easier way to accomplish this task is to run specific API tests on the business logic of the software. Why should we do this? It’s much faster and easier to write these tests. We can have our developers supporting this process and not just Selenium or automation experts. 'Work smarter, not harder' is a theory we should all be familiar with.
