How AI adoption throughout the SDLC affects software testing

With AI finding adoption throughout all stages of the development process, the SDLC as we know it is becoming a thing of the past. Naturally, this has many implications for the field of software testing. This article will discuss how the SDLC has evolved over time, going into detail on the impact that AI adoption is having on both software development and software testing.

DIY guide: 'Build vs buy' your OSS code scanning and app security toolkit

You’re confident in your development chops—confident enough to know the apps you’ve built aren’t completely free of security and configuration flaws. You’ve also researched the deep ecosystem of scanning tools available and perhaps got overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choice. What’s the right “portfolio” of open-source app security tools to identify vulnerabilities in your dependencies, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) configurations, containers, and more?

A Comprehensive Guide to r2Frida

In iOS app security, the ability to seamlessly blend static and dynamic analysis capabilities is paramount. One tool that stands out in this domain is r2frida. This unique tool combines the robust binary analysis functionalities of Radare2 with the dynamic instrumentation features of Frida, creating a potent toolkit for dissecting iOS applications and fortifying their security posture.

AI quality: Garbage in, garbage out

If you use expired, moldy ingredients for your dessert, you may get something that looks good but tastes awful. And you definitely wouldn’t want to serve it to guests. Garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) applies to more than just technology and AI. Inputting bad ingredients into a recipe will lead to a potentially poisonous output. Of course, if it looks a little suspicious, you can cover it in frosting, and no one will know. This is the danger we are seeing now.

Safeguard Your Apps in the Cloud with Netskope and AWS

In our last blog post, we discussed how customers can accelerate cloud transformation with Netskope Borderless SD-WAN and AWS Cloud WAN integration. This network-level integration allows customers to automate workload access from any remote site and user laptop, delivering a secure, reliable, flexible, highly available, and optimized middle-mile network service leveraging the AWS global network.

Enhancing Language Models: An Introduction to Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Over the past few years, significant progress has been observed in the area of NLP, largely due to the availability and excellence of advanced language models, including OpenAI's GPT series. These models, which are useful for generating human-like text which is contextually appropriate, have transformed several interfaces from conversational agents to creative writing. However, as popular and effective as they may seem, the traditional language models have their own drawbacks and specifically, the restriction in accessing additional up-dated data and incorporating them.

Mastering UI Design with Flutter: Tips, Tricks, and Tools

You have probably heard about Flutter apps, high-performance cross-platform applications with a single code base. They are built on Flutter, an open-source UI SDK created by Google on Dart. Flutter UI is gaining popularity because it combines visual elements that users can see and engage with, like buttons, images, lists, navigation patterns, text fields, animations, and more. The ease of work, touch of creativity, simplicity of coding, and its numerous awesome tools make Flutter a popular choice in the development world. But how do you master UI design with Flutter?

Cloud Penetration Testing: Tools, Methodology & Prerequisites

Businesses increasingly migrate to cloud-based solutions for storage, applications, and critical functions. While the cloud offers scalability and agility, it also introduces new security challenges. Cloud penetration testing is a crucial defence mechanism for proactively identifying and addressing these vulnerabilities.

What is Mobile Application Penetration Testing: Benefits & Tools

Mobile applications are ubiquitous, but their security can be a concern. Unlike web applications, in a mobile landscape, both the device and the mobile application have a crucial role in security due to increasing cyber threats. Mobile application penetration testing (mobile app pen testing) is a proactive security measure to identify and address vulnerabilities before malicious actors exploit them.

How Managed Detection and Response Helps Protect Against Threats from Cloud Sprawl

As businesses continue to rely on cloud services for all sorts of applications, computing, and storage services, each with its APIs, they dramatically increase their attack surface. It’s a situation that results in prime breeding grounds for cyber threats and, therefore, drives the need for managed detection and response (MDR) services. Consider the software-as-a-service (SaaS) market. It has grown steadily from a $31.4 billion market in 2015 to $232.3 billion in 2024, according to Techopedia.
