Most teams know the dilemma: Ship fast vs ship safe. Good automation removes that false choice. This gives testers room to focus. Here’s what changes when it works: ✔️ Bugs get caught early, not after release ✔️ QA isn’t racing the clock every sprint ✔️ Feedback loops tighten, developers move with confidence ✔️ Releases stop feeling like a gamble Don’t automate everything. Start with the pain points, keep what’s stable, drop what isn’t. When it clicks, shipping fast and safe stops being a contradiction. Read more here: 👇 https://lnkd.in/gyS2Qk8t

Common Types of Code Coverage Metrics • Code coverage metrics help teams ensure that every part of the code is tested and reliable. • They reveal untested logic, branches, or functions — reducing hidden bugs. • From line coverage to branch and condition coverage, each type deepens confidence in software quality. • A well-tested codebase means a more stable and predictable product! #Agile #Testing #CodeCoverage #Automation #QualityAssurance #ContinuousTesting #JogoConsulting

Without going into details, i have been recently moved to a new project, which is still in phase of getting the requirements breakdown so that stories can be created for execution. This is taking a lot of time, so we had to put exploratory spikes for the same or enablers. In capacity of SM i created couple of exploratory stories, shown the same to team, and asked them to create enablers for setup and POC/POT. Team created some tech stories. While reviewing came across some issues, which i guess many will face. Putting the same across - Story Heading has to talk about only broad scope of story, and nothing to do with verification - Description has to focus on detailing scope and work required to do the same. - Acceptance criteria has to only focus on verification. It can't be actions to do some work, but focused on verifying conditions for us to say that story can be marked as completed - DoD (Definition of Done) is not story specific, it's a generic checklist at the team level to ensure completeness of functionality in terms of verification, automation, regression, NFR's, maintainability, documentation, code management, quality checks etc. - Your sprint/iteration board in ALM can't be having standard states at the team level. Workflow will have different stages which should be in range of 5-8 stages for us to manage workflow efficiently.

There are still so many (intelligent) people / clients out there who do not understand how software is built. There are still so many also who are afraid to get into this whole not-so-new world. They will always have this disclaimer of "I must warn you -- have zero knowledge about IT." I think SDLC (of course, AI too, but then again we want to also cover the basics, thus, SDLC) must be part of the whole campaign on digital literacy for all! This was me doing my best how to simplify and explain software components to someone with no IT background at all. I was told that it helped a bit.

Reducing Risk, One Line of Code at a Time Every release carries risk from missed dependencies to undocumented logic. LensHub helps teams eliminate those blind spots before they turn into production issues. Our platform builds a living knowledge base around your SDLC, automatically tracking logic, context, and AI-supported decisions in one secure place. Recently, we helped a healthcare company transition their multi-module system risk-free, using LensHub’s traceability and parity testing features, ensuring that nothing broke in the process. When your system knows its own logic, risk becomes just another variable you can manage. That’s the LensHub way.

🔧 Transparency Post – When UAT Says “Not Yet” Not every milestone gets hit — and that’s okay when you’ve got a documented revision plan. My Nov 6th release didn’t pass UAT. The issue wasn’t lack of effort; it was a technical-debt collision between legacy WPF design and modern async patterns. My initial approach was minimal change to mitigate risk to the business unit, but after testing, it’s clear a rewrite is needed. The legacy codebase still leans on BackgroundWorker, tightly-coupled UI logic, and a single shared DataGrid across multiple tabs. When testers switched tabs, the UI would stall — because each tab triggered heavy API calls returning thousands of rows, and four textboxes on another tab could mutate the same shared dataset. To make this right, I’m doing what leaders do: • Deprecating old BackgroundWorkers for a clean async/await refactor. • Refactoring a 450+ line class into proper MVVM layers and command bindings. • Separating data grids so each tab handles its own context and state safely. • Documenting a revision plan with impact analysis and a new delivery date. I’m sharing this because transparency builds trust — especially when delays threaten budget confidence from leadership. The cost of silence is higher than the cost of clarity. 💡 Lesson: When UAT says “not yet,” treat it as a quality checkpoint, not a failure. The rewrite will make this system more maintainable, performant, and scalable for the long term. 🚀 If you’re leading modernization projects or wrestling with legacy WPF refactors, follow #CADGuardian — where we turn technical setbacks into architectural wins and share the real-world lessons behind resilient code. #WPF #AsyncAwait #MVVM #Refactoring #Leadership #Transparency #SoftwareEngineering #ProjectManagement #CADGuardian ⸻

Sam Katzen shares 3 foundational ways engineering and security teams can move to a secure-by-default SDLC: 1. Standardize and secure your foundations 2. Automate security and compliance evidence 3. Build developer trust through frictionless security Read more on the blog 👇 https://lnkd.in/ev4Nxedp

Read this latest blog if you are looking to transform your software build process, and learn how a secure-by-default SDLC impacts innovation strategy when security is embedded, compliance is automated, and developers are empowered.

Anyone noticed that #opensourcesoftware is on the rise once again? With so many powerful OSS projects coming out in #AI, #ML matched with the known benefits of open source, it’s no wonder. In order to unleash #innovation at speed with Open Source, traditional #SDLC needs to change. DevSecOps is great. What about SecDevOps? What if the OSS you used was secure by default? #Security must “start left,” deeply embedded in every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to enable a world where the most secure way to build software is also the easiest and fastest way.
