Development workflows span all stages of production, including planning, developing, testing, deployment and iteration. When it boils down to it, there’s no shortage of tools on the market for improving development workflows. With so many options to choose from, picking the right tools can be challenging. With all this in mind, here are some of our favorite options on the market in 2021 from Justin Reynolds on CloudBees’ blog.
React CSRF Protection Guide: Examples and How to Enable It
Do you ignore your spam emails? To be honest, they could be more dangerous than you think. Be cautious when visiting a website flooded with advertisements and clickbait. An attacker behind the screen may trick you into doing something malicious, such as deleting your account on a website, transferring funds illegitimately, and so on. These are all possible outcomes of a CSRF attack. Learn all about CSRF protection from Siddhant Varma on Stackhawk’s blog.
Vue CORS Guide: What It Is and How to Enable It
Web applications often depend on resources from an external source or domain. For example, a website can display an image hosted on another site. Beyond images, a web application may fetch JSON format data from an external API. However, sharing resources across websites isn’t always a smooth ride. If you’ve made HTTP requests from JavaScript to another site, you’ve probably seen a CORS error. The full meaning of CORS is Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. CORS-related errors can be annoying, but this Vue CORS guide from Pius Aboyi on Stackhawk’s blog can help.
Golang CORS Guide: What It Is and How to Enable It

How Do I Create a Flutter Card? Examples and Use Cases
A card is a tool used to summarize an object’s key properties on a small two-dimensional canvas. What’s great about cards is that each can stand alone or form part of a collection. You can reorder them, filter them, and compare one to another, side by side. Furthermore, cards help us to quickly internalize and mentally categorize large quantities of information. With mobile apps, we use cards to achieve this same goal. However, instead of a paper canvas, we have a digital canvas. This is where flutter cards come in.

Deployment Diagrams Explained in Detail, With Examples
Software engineering is more than just writing code and deploying it as software solutions. Lots of activities help ensure that users get the best software solutions. For instance, developers need to test how some software solutions interact with hardware and other software. This is where deployment diagrams come in.

How to Put Quality in the Build With Jenkins Test Automation
We also updated a post this week. You probably already have Jenkins running to automate the build process of your applications. However, you might be aware that to increase quality in your build process, you need to include testing. Automation without testing is similar to driving a Ferrari without first checking if the brakes work. You’ll go fast, but you might end up crashing as soon as you find the first turn. You already have Jenkins, so why not use Jenkins for test automation? Check it out on Testim’s blog.
