What Is the Best Unit Testing Framework for JavaScript?
There are three ways to test a JavaScript web app. Apart from integration testing and user interface testing, the most important of all is unit testing. With unit testing, you can run independent tests on each function. You have to provide an input that’s supposed to produce a known output. And if the output that comes after testing matches the known output, then your testing is successful. Learn more about unit testing in this post from Arnab Roy Chowdhury on Testim’s blog.

What is Log Analysis and Why Do You Need It?
Logs are ubiquitous in the tech industry. A medium-sized IT organization can generate gigabytes worth of log entries daily. Those logs come from a large variety of sources: operating systems, network devices, web and application servers, applications, IoT devices, just to name a few. The aggregate of all these logs has the potential to be an oracle. They might offer a unique window to all facets of the organization. Unfortunately, since most teams and organizations treat logging as a mere “putting out the fires” mechanism, all of this potential goes to waste. That’s where log analysis comes in helpful.

Does anyone who wants to use it need to engage in laborious searches? If you’re not visualizing your logs, you’re missing out. But you can learn all about it on Scalyr’s blog.
