CI-CD code coverage and security best practices

 CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) is an important practice in modern software development. It allows developers to rapidly iterate on code and deliver high-quality software to users quickly. However, in order to ensure the software is of the highest quality, it's important to incorporate code coverage and security best practices into the CI/CD process. Let's explore some best practices for code coverage and security in CI/CD:

Code Coverage Best Practices:

  1. Set a minimum code coverage threshold: Establish a minimum code coverage threshold for unit tests, integration tests, and other types of tests. This will help ensure that all parts of the codebase are tested, and that code quality remains consistent across the project.
  2. Use code coverage tools: Utilize code coverage tools to measure how much of the codebase is covered by tests. Tools like Jacoco and Cobertura can help identify which parts of the code are not tested and need additional coverage.
  3. Integrate code coverage into the CI/CD pipeline: Incorporate code coverage tools into the CI/CD pipeline to ensure that code coverage is measured and monitored regularly. This will allow developers to quickly identify areas of the codebase that need additional testing.

Security Best Practices:

  1. Use static analysis tools: Utilize static analysis tools like SonarQube or Checkmarx to scan the codebase for potential security vulnerabilities. These tools can identify code that is vulnerable to attacks like SQL injection or Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
  2. Implement security testing: Include security testing in the CI/CD process to ensure that the code is secure before it's deployed to production. This can include tests like penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and more.
  3. Follow security best practices: Follow security best practices such as using secure coding practices, encrypting sensitive data, and properly handling authentication and authorization.

Incorporating code coverage and security best practices into the CI/CD process can help ensure that software is of the highest quality and is secure before it's deployed to production. By utilizing code coverage tools, static analysis tools, and security testing, developers can identify and address potential issues early in the development cycle, reducing the risk of errors and vulnerabilities in the final product.

ADF MODEL - VIEW CRITERIA (VC)

Image
ADF View Criteria: VIEW CRITERIA is nothing but a "Where" clause to the SQL query with some special functions". It will be used to refine the query results. View Criteria Types: =============== 1. Implicit View Criteria: Renders all the areas in the VO as a filter field. (Default) 2. Named View Criteria: Selected fields are participating in the filter fields section as per the configuration.    Key Technical Term: -------------------------- What is RowMatch :             RowMatch is nothing but "in-memory row filtering" OR CACHE What is Mode : [Filtering Option]            Query/Database - Use query's where clause. [Default]            Cache - In memory filtering            Both  - Use query or memory filtering. What is Bind Variables:           Parameters applied to querie...

Developing Scalable Web Applications with Cloud Architecture

When developing a web application, it's crucial to consider a simplified yet effective approach to the architecture, especially when leveraging the power of cloud platforms. Here are some essential steps and patterns to ensure a robust and scalable application: DNS : When you type <your domain>.com, the request goes to the DNS server, which responds with an IP address. It uses the cloud's global network to serve DNS zones from various locations worldwide, ensuring high availability and low latency for users. Web Servers : The IP obtained from the DNS server is used by the user's computer to make a connection to the web server where the front-end is deployed. Application Servers : The application's business logic is deployed on the application server. This may involve multiple functional microservices. Requests to this application server are usually limited to web servers and internal services. Database : The application needs one or more databases to store info...

Best Practices & Notes:  =================== please watch every day update : ------------------------------------- ADF - TABLE : Primary Key While working with table, ADF always expects a predefined primary key for the table.  We can create a primary key using DB sequence or other alternative options. If you do not have a PK for a table, during scrolling or selecting a row within the table or creating an empty row and scrolling to next set of rows, we will get a weird result. Example for Sequence PK: (Groovy Expression) (new oracle.jbo.server.SequenceImpl("TEST_SEQ",adf.object.getDBTransaction())).getSequenceNumber() Just a note: ADF - TABLE : Custom Partial Trigger We can add table selection listener programmatically with declarative component using the following snippets  of code : _getTable().addSelectionListener(new SelectionListener(){             @Override ...
