August 6, 1991. Does the date ring any bells? No, it wasn’t the collapse of the Soviet Union (though you’re close).

More than thirty years have passed since then, and websites have come a long way, haven’t they?

The internet is NOT a safe place. Wonderful in its own right, sure, and useful in more ways than one. But the cyberspace is also filled to the brim with malicious agents: thieves, hackers, countless different criminals looking to prey on the weak and the vulnerable. Don’t be alarmed just yet though. As long as

They say that programming is the closest thing to magic that we have today. And you know what? They’re right. A few lines of code that look like nothing but gibberish to the uninitiated – and you can create entire worlds. How is it anything but magic? On the opposite side, a few different lines

Modern web applications are nothing like what they used to be. The practically limitless bandwidth and indefinite storage space that cloud computing offers.

The lives of millions of people have been turned upside down; thousands of peaceful Ukrainians have lost their homes, lives, and loved ones. For what? For the absurd

Both alpha and beta testing are forms of user acceptance testing, allowing to build confidence before the product launch. Both of them help collect actionable feedback and increase product usability. However, despite more or less similar basic goals, alpha and beta tests are carried out in different ways, so some teams still wonder what type of testing to prefer. To dispel any doubts, we will explain the difference between alpha and beta testing.

Any software development life cycle should involve a testing phase — otherwise, the product already delivered to end users may be full of defects, which will result in a large number of negative reviews, lost customers, and dropoffs. Apparently, websites and web apps aren`t an exception. To ensure their high quality and stable performance, it’s
