With large complex software applications, builds can often be split into different steps and tasks creating a series of jobs for our build pipeline. On my current project we are utilizing Jenkins to implement Continuous Integration/Continuous Deliver (CI/CD) and between the jobs for compilation, smoke tests, acceptance tests and deployment across environments in several […]
The R programming language is an open-source, interactive language that was designed for manipulating datasets, creating visualizations, and performing statistical analyses. It is based on the S language, which was originally developed at Bell Laboratories. R is a full-featured language (it supports conditionals, loops, functions, I/O, etc.) and its functionality can be easily extended by […]
Testing applications and web sites that send email can be difficult. During testing you might generate many email notifications and you don’t want to flood a real mailbox. Or you might not want email from a development system being confused for production email. And especially when using production data during development, you might want to […]
Despite the fact that I am running a 64-bit version of Windows 7, I sometimes need to run 32-bit applications. By default these applications are only able to use 2 GB of memory, regardless of the amount of available memory on the system (see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/memory/memory-limits-for-windows-releases ). However, I sometimes need these 32-bit applications to be […]
I was working on a SharePoint DoD project, due to security requriements(STIG) it needed to display a disclaimer notice banner when a user initiates a session with the SharePoint Site. This solution tells how to customize and deploy the SharePoint Global.asax that triggers the new session start event to display the disclaimer notice banner. This solution was split into two SharePoint […]

When developing an application in programming language A you may discover that certain parts of the program are easier to code using a different language B. At this point you have one of three choices: Write the application entirely in language A. Write the application entirely in language B. Write most of the application using […]
I recently published an article about using CAT.NET security scanner on your .NET web application. Once you get it running, it’s fairly simple to integrate it into your continuous integration process. Our strategy here will be to use a down-stream job in Hudson to run static security analysis on our application build after the main compilation/packaging […]
I needed a quantifiable test that can measure svn performance during a check out. This script take 2 arguments, number of checkouts and parallelism. For example, if I want to run 100 checkout 2 at a time ./load.sh 100 2 or 100 checkouts 50 at a time ./load.sh 100 50 #!/bin/bash i=0; url=”<a href=”http://mysvnrepo” while”>http://mysvnrepo” while</a> [ $i -lt $1 ]; do […]
Inspecting source code for security vulnerabilities is an important part in any secure development process. While this can be done manually, it’s much easier to start with a static analysis tool that can scan code for known vulnerabilities. Statistics out there claim anywhere from 30-50% of coding vulnerabilities can be found with a code scanner. For .NET […]
