Ways to Reduce the Cost of Software Testing Without Sacrificing Quality. Due to the novel coronavirus and the impact, it’s having on the global economy, my colleagues and I have been thinking a lot these days about how we could help our clients and others find ways to reduce the cost of testing without letting their products’ quality suffer. And dare we say it, maybe even lessen the need of having to let go of valuable team members.

So you’ve decided that you want to start streaming content to Twitch, YouTube, or similar. When I say streaming, I mean live streaming, not publishing pre-recorded videos to be watched on-demand. Streaming is so popular that you might think it’s as easy as opening your web camera and clicking stream. The reality is that there’s a little more to it, more so around stream quality and performance.

The tipping point is a term I first heard used by SQL Server performance tuning guru and long-time SentryOne Advisory Board member Kimberly Tripp – she has a great blog series on it here. The tipping point is the threshold at which a query plan will "tip" from seeking a non-covering nonclustered index to scanning the clustered index or heap. The basic formula is: A clustered index (or table) scan will occur when estimated rows exceeds 33% of the number of pages in the table.

Next week, I’m honored to be part of DevAroundTheSun , a live 24-hour global event for COVID-19 relief that starts on May 12 at 12:00 UTC. It’s like LiveAid or Lady Gaga’s recent One World: #TogetherAtHome , but for developers. You can watch on Twitch and YouTube, and all the talks are relatively short at 25 minutes… think TED talk style and length, and hopefully similar quality in content even though the production is a little different since we have to present our talks

IBM Big Data and Analytics Hub website cited a case study, where a US insurance company was estimating 15% of their testing efforts to be just test data collection for the backend system and the frontend system. To quote the study, “For every USD 14 million delivery by the software development and QA team, a hidden USD 3 million was being spent on data management.

Dynatrace news. Third party APIs have become as essential to our software stack as your own code or the run-times your code runs on. If these 3 rd parties become problematic, it will impact your software and users, causing complaints about your services not working as expected. That is why you must treat monitoring of these 3 rd party APIs with the same priority as your own code or platforms your code runs on, using something like Dynatrace RUM to do so.
