Part 2! In a previous post, I discussed the options for running Java workloads on Azure. Now it is time to discover some of the choices Azure offers to our software engineers! Developing Java applications Sourcecode Application consist of source code that needs to be centrally stored and managed. Azure has many options for storing sourcecode, but also for working

Azure is Microsofts cloud platform. It is the home of Service Apps, Logic Apps, cloud storage, Kubernetes Service and provides the foundation for VSTS (now Azure DevOps), Office 365 and loads of other services and tools. But not only for .NET based services and applications. Todays Microsoft provides options for Linux developers, OSX teams, Docker containers, Python code, Node.js and

The default build definition from the Bitbucket pipelines uses one of the official Node.js Docker images on Docker Hub. If you are building Angular apps with the CLI, these images will not work for you. We need a little bit more than the node.js 6.9.4 (at the time of this writing), so let’s make a small list: node.js > 8.9

This artical is basically an extension to the previous post: Improving Angular Style and Code Quality and mashed up with: Better together: SonarQube, TypeScript and Code Coverage In short: we add SonarQube static analysis to our Angular CLI project and enable code coverage reports. Enable code coverage If you have used the CLI to generate your Angular project, there is

Code coverage calculates the percentage of code that is covered by automated (unit) tests. And unit tests are important to ensure ongoing code quality and predictability in our software. Code coverage reports help investigate how well our software development is doing by showing us that percentage. But we know all this right? Tests are important, so test coverage is also

The Angular CLI makes our lives a lot easier by scaffolding our projects and generating a lot of boilerplate code and this code usually conforms to the Angular Style guide found here https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/style-guide.html. But we also need to make sure our code stays readable, functional and maintainable and with entire teams working on Angular applications, code reviews are not the

In a previous post we figured out how we could work with SonarQube Quality Gates in a JavaScript build on VSTS. For regular VSTS builds (based on MSBuild that is) Sonar provides an excellent extension that enables several goodies including a “Publish Quality Gate Result” build task. Unfortunately this task requires MSBuild to function correctly and our usual client side/
