Welcome to the next part our project, on its way to become the Snake game with the very best underlying code base ever. (If you…
Snakes exploring Pipelines – A “System Engineering and Management” Project
Part 0: Introduction This series of blog entries describes a student project focused on developing an application by using methods like pair programming, test driven development and deployment pipelines. Once upon a time, which was about one and a half months ago, an illustrious group of three students found together, united by the shared interest…
Exploring Docker Security – Part 3: Docker Content Trust
This third and last part of this series intends to give an overview of Docker Content Trust, which in fact combines different frameworks and tools, namely Notary and Docker Registry v2, into a rich and powerful feature set making Docker images more secure.
Exploring Docker Security – Part 2: Container flaws
Now that we’ve understood the basics, this second part will cover the most relevant container threats, their possible impact as well as existent countermeasures. Beyond that, a short overview of the most important sources for container threats will be provided. I’m pretty sure you’re not counting on most of them. Want to know more?
Exploring Docker Security – Part 1: The whale’s anatomy
When it comes to Docker, most of us immediately start thinking of current trends like Microservices, DevOps, fast deployment, or scalability. Without a doubt, Docker seems to hit the road towards establishing itself as the de-facto standard for lightweight application containers, shipping not only with lots of features and tools, but also great usability. However, another important topic is neglected very…
Test Driven Development Part IV
[written by Roman Kollatschny and Matthias Schmidt] Welcome back to our fourth and final post in our series. This time we want to deal with code style and code quality to optimize coding on additional ways.

SocialCloud – HumHub and the humming begins – Part 7
The background Locally organized voluntary groups, helping refugees manage their first steps in Germany, are often organized by mass-email with up to 50 recipients. So the huge amount of received emails which should be clarified ends up in a “answer all”-flood of every involved mailbox. Another realistic misbehaviour is that images are sent uncompressed as…
Test Driven Development Part III
[written by Roman Kollatschny and Matthias Schmidt] Uhwe, hello and welcome back to the third of our posts in this series. Today we want to show you additional features and tipps on developing a node.js web application test driven. As stated in the last article we use Mocha.js and Chai.js as tools.
