The concept of code coverage affects any existing software application, from PC programs, mobile apps, the latest application for your SmartTV or router firmware. While it’s not a concept that depends on whether the software is connected to the Internet, it does affect us all. Let’s explain what it is and how to deal with it. Broadly speaking, one could consider that a software lifecycle project...
The Internet of Things – A blessing and a curse
By now IP devices are already more than just a fancy hype. The Internet of Things (IoT) will connect about 5 billion terminals and devices this year, with a rising tendency - in 2020 about 25 billion intelligent objects are expected to be connected to the Internet, about three times more than the world’s current population. For end users as well as for business clients, IP devices such as smart...

Or that our surname began with a different letter, which is more or less the same. As in this example, there are a lot of things in our...
Router and Server for onsite applications
It is quite obvious to say that corporate communications have evolved. Not so long ago, a few decades ago, “dumb” terminals were connected to a mainframe.
