That’s where Splunk and Cisco come in.

Guide to unit testing

Unit testing is a software testing methodology that tests the behavior of individual functional units of code. Through unit testing, developers can verify that their code performs as intended. Providing an opportunity to catch bugs, validate the implementation of logic, and assess the quality of the code, unit testing enhances the quality of applications and preemptively identifies problems before they become major issues.

Automated incident response: Why it matters and where it's headed

Incidents happen. Whether it’s a service outage, degraded performance, or an unexpected spike in errors, things will go wrong. The question isn’t if incidents will occur—it’s how quickly and effectively you can respond when they do. For years, incident response has been a mostly manual process: someone gets paged, scrambles to investigate, loops in the right people, and after some firefighting, hopefully resolves the issue before too many customers notice.
