As a technology executive, you know that innovation is critical to staying ahead of the competition. The challenge is how to innovate quickly and effectively without compromising quality. DevOps automation solutions can help you accelerate innovation by streamlining the development process and eliminating manual tasks.

Let's look at how DevOps automation works and why it's worth considering for your business.

As technology and software engineering evolves, many businesses rely on tools to stay ahead of the curve. One effective tool is Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestration platform that allows organizations to automate their containerized applications’ deployment, scaling, and management. Kubernetes, or K8s, has quickly become the go-to solution for businesses looking to streamline their application development and deployment process in a cloud-native environment.

Here are just a few benefits businesses can expect when they leverage K8s.

Producing high-quality work ahead of the proposed delivery date sounds great, right? Implementing test-driven development (TDD) and unit testing can assist development teams in achieving just that. It allows engineers to sit back and analyze how data impacts the project's success at a higher level. Here are the basics of TDD and some tips for executing within software development teams.

Machine learning (ML) can crunch millions of data sets in the time it takes to withdraw cash from an ATM, making it a powerful tool for the financial services sector. It can detect fraud, automate trades, and complete banking and insurance tasks with minimal human intervention. What’s not to like?

Still, numerous challenges surround machine learning in finance. To help unpack the topic, DragonSpears interviewed Alex Muller, founder of end-to-end machine learning tool SAVVI AI. He shared his expert insights about the current state of this technology in finance and how opportunities to leverage it are beginning to open for smaller companies of all sizes.

It’s essential to have confidence in the stability of the application you are building or maintaining. Testing at all levels helps build confidence, ensure features are working as intended, and deliver a great user experience. While it’s important to have a core base of unit tests to ensure code quality, you should also have a set of automated UI tests for core elements. Here’s how having these tests will give you confidence your product is working in tip-top shape after each deployment.
