CVE Funding Disruption: How Security Teams Can Prepare

The longstanding Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) database has vitally guided security teams for over 20 years, connecting cybersecurity experts, developers, vendors, and researchers in their shared ability to track unknown vulnerabilities in software. But in April of 2025, the MITRE CVE database program was in jeopardy. U.S. government funding for CVE, managed by MITRE and sponsored by CISA, was set to expire. Only in the 11th hour was funding secured, and the contract extended — for now.

How Database Cloning Eliminates Database Provisioning Bottlenecks for Faster Releases

Dev teams often face delays of days or even weeks waiting for database refreshes. The result? Blocked sprint deadlines and delayed releases. Traditional database provisioning methods often create bottlenecks in DevOps pipelines where speed matters most. But there is a solution to this problem: database cloning. It provides fast, space-efficient copies that speed up development velocity.

Master Javascript Filter() Method: Guide With Examples

Whether it be filtering out unwanted elements, working your way through a number of datasets, or performing cleanup on an array, the filter method will give you a very elegant solution to each of those problems and any developer must know how to use it.

Reliability Testing - A Complete Guide

Reliability Testing is the measure of how consistently a system performs under normal and adverse conditions which is an essential process in software development. Without functional degradation or unexpected failure over extended periods , it ensures that applications can handle real-world usage. This type of testing is significant where downtime or instability results in business loss or user impact.

Regression Test Strategy: A How-to Guide That You'll Need

Software updates are inevitable. New features get added. Old bugs get patched. But with every change, there’s one big question: what might break? That’s where a solid regression test strategy comes in. A regression test strategy gives you a reliable process to make sure your existing features still work after each update. Without it, even the smallest change can lead to unexpected bugs in places no one thought to look.

10 Best Practices for Automated Regression Testing

Regression testing helps you make sure that old features still work after new changes are made. With automation, this process becomes faster, more reliable, and easier to scale. But automation can easily become messy. Tests break. Suites grow too large. Bugs slip through. That’s why you need a strategy: one that focuses on the right automated regression testing best practices.
