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.

The ability to discover insights from past events, transactions and interactions is how many customers currently utilize Qlik. Qlik’s unique approach to Business Intelligence (BI) using a unique analytics engine and intuitive interface has democratized BI for typical business users, who usually have little to no technical savvy.

Kubernetes is a popular way to deploy web services and applications using containers. In this, the second of a two-part series, Geshan finishes his step-by-step tutorial for getting up and running with Rails and k8s.

How to manage a legacy codebase and the “rare luxury” of starting from scratch; these are the topics we’ll be covering in this final part in our Q&A roundup series.

However, the web's default is to prohibit such "loose" behaviour, much like a firewall that blocks access to untrusted parties in the name of security. That default, thankfully, can be safely altered. Before doing so, however, it is necessary for both Web application developers and API providers to understand the concepts of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS).
