Basically the straight forward answer as ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ in this regard depends of several situations/ factors such the size and budget of the project etc. Here are my 5 top reasons to write automated test (unit test, integration test...

Understanding Safe Database Synchronization

Data or content synchronization is one of the classic problems in software world. It becomes very trivial point while working on software production, where production data and schema needs to be synchronized with live data and schema. Having some basic conceptual complexity, developers often get afraid to use any automated tool considering the risk factors to lose of data or content. Mostly, in these cases a manual process has to involve making sure a safe content synchronization. However as human...
