In this tutorial we are going to install and experiment with Dynimizer using MySQL running the Sysbench OLTP benchmark. We also play around with the Linux perf command, top and vmstat. This tutorial assumes that you have MySQL and the Linux perf tool installed, and that there are no other CPU intensive workloads on the system other than those being tested. In order for the Linux perf tool to report CPU event counts, this tutorial should be completed on either a bare metal Linux server, or if using a virtual machine guest then virtual PMU support must be enabled by the hypervisor.

The initial part of this tutorial is meant to illustrate how to determine if there is potential for Dynimizer to speedup a mysql (or any other program) workload, by checking …

This is the second and final part of a tutorial on how to test a Python/Flask web app with Selenium webdriver. We are testing Project Dream Team, an existing CRUD web app. Part One introduced Selenium WebDriver as a web browser automation tool for browser-based tests. By the end of Part One, we had written tests for registration, login, performing CRUD operations on departments and roles, as well as assigning departments and roles to employees.

In Part Two, we will write tests to ensure that protected pages can only be accessed by authorised users. We will also integrate our app with CircleCI, a continuous integration and delivery platform. I have included a demo video showing all the tests running, so be sure to check it out!

AdonisJs is a MVC Framework for Node that is greatly inspired by the Laravel framework and borrows some of it concepts. AdonisJs follows the software paradigm of conventions over configuration which allows you focus on building your application rather than waste time on configurations. AdonisJs uses ES2015 Generators which removes the unnecessary callbacks from your code.

To explore more about AdonisJs, checkout this tutorial by the creator of Adonis: Meet AdonisJs! A Laravel-style MVC Framework for Node.js.

Ever wondered how to write tests for the front-end of your web application? You may already have functional back-end tests, for example to ensure that your models and views are working. However, you may be unsure how to simulate a user of your app for testing. How can you test front-end functions like registration and logging in, which are done in a browser?

In this two-part tutorial, I will show you how to write front-end tests for an existing Python/Flask web application. You should therefore already have a functional application, along with a virtual environment with the necessary software dependencies installed. We will use Project Dream Team, a CRUD web app I built in a three-part tutorial (here is Part One, Part Two and …

Laravel and Docker are two very popular tools of choice when considering building for the web. Although both of them do very different things, they can both be combined to create amazing products.

While this article is made to cater for everyone who will be reading it, the article assumes you already have a working basic knowledge of both Docker and Laravel.

Prerequisites
