When designing and building software, service reliability is always at the top of the list of critical focus areas for development teams. Every team that builds software typically has, either directly or indirectly, service level agreements with their customers. These are, essentially, agreed-upon metrics or performance criteria that teams use to measure and ensure the […]
Prevent False Positives From Derailing Shift Left
Static application security testing (SAST) tools are designed to balance false positives (incorrect warnings) with false negatives (missed vulnerabilities) primarily because deeper analysis requires more time and computing resources. Both of these are in short supply among developers that are tasked with meeting shorter and shorter product delivery milestones. So, while SAST vendors consider a […]
Why Browser and API Testing is Shifting Left
For developers working with cloud-native technologies, software testing and quality assurance is a key part of product development. For most teams, testing has “shifted left,” so the quality of the code can be assessed as it moves through the CI/CD pipeline. This approach to quality assurance reflects the rise of DevOps and other modern development […]
Are Developers Responsible for Open Source Governance?
There are lots of factors in the open source software world converging to make it a big year for “shift left” in software development. Heightened security concerns, an increasing need for software supply chain visibility and the growth and complexity of open source ecosystems will continue to push the responsibility for ensuring code is secure […]
How Shifting Testing Left Can Boost DevOps Velocity
DevOps is all about balance: How can speed and quality be balanced to best meet the demands of customers who want exceptional digital experiences as fast as possible? DevOps looks to meet these expectations head-on by helping to deliver a faster cadence of new builds to customers while keeping quality high. What’s more, quality should […]
Solvo Automatically Crafts Cloud Security Policies
Solvo today announced general availability of a namesake tool that automatically creates a least-privilege policy and applies it to application workloads deployed in the cloud. Previously available only as a private beta, Solvo will also continually analyze a workload after it’s been deployed to enable IT teams to adjust security policies as additional updates to […]
How Shift-Left Testing Improves DevOps Efficiency and Software Quality
Shift-left testing is the key to deliver quality software at speed. Developers shift testing left to shorten long test cycles, prevent defects and mitigate risk earlier in the development cycle, rather than in later stages, to avoid rework and delays. In this interview, IBM Z DevOps Testing Lead Nathan Cassata talks about shift-left testing, the […]
Shifting Left and Static Code Analysis with Perforce
Perforce Product Manager Stuart Foster, and Evangelist Steve Howard, join Mitch Ashley to discuss the importance of creating security software from the beginning of the development process. We discuss shift left, SAST, source code scanning and other pursuits towards this goal. The video is immediately below, followed by the transcript of the conversation. Enjoy! Transcript […]
Code Security: SAST, Shift-Left, DevSecOps and Beyond
Automation is the key to pushing code security beyond DevSecOps In virtually every industry, developers are dealing with ensuring the safety of their code. Regardless of whether it’s enterprise or applications for automotive, aviation or industrial controls, small systems or large systems, every organization struggles with security. In response, the industry continues to evolve to […]
Why It’s Time for Site Reliability Engineering to Shift Left
By adopting a multilevel approach to site reliability engineering and arming your team with the right tools, you can unleash benefits that impact the entire service-delivery continuum In today’s application-driven economy, the infrastructure supporting business-critical applications has never been more important. In response, many companies are recruiting site reliability engineering (SRE) specialists to help them […]
