All the new enterprise application development will adapt the modern best practice of DevSecOps and shift away from legacy virtual machines (VM) and toward much more cloud native containers and Kubernetes container orchestration. It is the mega trends, where one wave of technology nurtures a better one. History repeats it over and over again. The

Today’s post let’s talk about Future of Application security testing (AST). As background information for those who are new to the topic, application security testing (AST) is a domain with a variety of approaches. For those focus on static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), interactive application security testing (IAST), mobile application

We all know the rise of the project economy, But no many everyone knows what it is about and what it means for the future of work. It impacts the future workforce and way for the workforce management. The world transit toward project economy, organization get dynamic teams and assign them into various projects to

We decided to dedicate one post to talk about what is source code management (SCM), and what it benefits as part of the range of source code management (SCM) theme topics. SCM always talks about software development lifecycle (SDLC) context, it is developed and designed for help software development, team lead software development, application development

GitLab 14 as the Future of DevOps Over the years, GitLab had served the world with a complete DevOps platform and stood strongly in several market reports through enhancements across the software development lifecycle.

Value Stream management is the next evolution in software development. Along with DevOps, these two key transformation are complementary forces with high potential in driving efficient software delivery, thus providing value to the customers. From organisations to every role in the development team, they are many benefits that can be reaped from the amalmagation of

In software development, it is important to deliver high quality applications and services rapidly. On top of that, software delivery should align with business objectives in order to optimise customer experience or business value delivery. The key transformations are the adoption of Agile, DevOps and Value Stream Management. Why Value Stream Management with GitLab? The

More and more customers adopt the DevSecOps to achieve seamless integration and automation benefits, so do adopt the same best practice for the bigger context toward Value Stream Management (VSM). If you zoom out and you will notice this is fit in the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) or known as Industry 4.0 framework. The world
