Software engineering methodologies like Agile and Waterfall are both widely employed by development teams to oversee software development projects. Teams can choose which process to apply for a given project by being aware of the distinctions between each one's specific strengths and shortcomings. Agile methodology emphasizes teamwork, adaptability,

Software Engineering 6: Security

I discovered that bad actors can access your computers or your credentials using a variety of techniques. These are several techniques and preventative measures: An attack called SQL injection occurs when a hostile person enters SQL commands into a text field. Instead of concatenating text from the user, utilize prepared

Unit Testing vs. End-To-End Testing Unit testing is a type of testing that test individual units of code like functions, methods, or classes by themselves to ensure that they behave as intended in isolation. This allows us to catch bugs early in the development process. On the other hand, E2E

Software Engineering 2

Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development practice that involves writing automated tests for software features before writing the actual code to implement those features. The process starts by writing a failing test case for the desired functionality, then writing the minimum amount of code required to make the test

Week 56 Service Learning

What went well? What would you improve? What was the most impactful part? The easiest part about service learning was doing the service, the other parts like being on-boarded or finding service have more friction, the paper work and forms process is also a bit slow but not bad. I

Week 40: Last week

Hurray this blog post marks the completion of another course. For our final week, we had light reading centered  around Security. I would say this is probably the most most important topic. Firewalls provide protection against malicious attacks and activity on computers or networks. Some firewalls provide intrusion detection systems
