Gitlab Requirements Management
Recently I've been digging around Gitlab, and I noticed a new feature was released to the general public, the Requirements Management. How is this feature going to help me? In every programming language and project we have to deal with requirements, in any other way, requirements that you write, requirements that your client want, and … Continue reading Gitlab Requirements Management
VI Analyzer and Gitlab Code Quality
In one of my previous post, I wrote about how I managed to integrate Docker and LabVIEW into my Continuous Integration chain. Some of the readers asked about a little feature in Gitlab that I explored, Code Quality. Let's discuss about it. Code Quality Reports Some weeks ago, digging into the Gitlab help pages (btw, I … Continue reading VI Analyzer and Gitlab Code Quality
Keep a Changelog, but Why?

I could enumerate many things here, but there … Continue reading Keep a Changelog, but Why?

The fact is, I needed a new shape for the app, and also redesign the code. It was initially a Proof of Concept … Continue reading User Interface and the Dependency Manager
Interfaces, OOP and JSON
Everyone who has read my previous posts knows that I enjoy the JSON format, mainly for its easy readability, adapt very good to classes, very interoperable with most web tools, and usually faster than other human readable formats, such as YAML). A couple of days ago I was fooling around with the new Interfaces in … Continue reading Interfaces, OOP and JSON
VI Analyzer and Git
For a while we've been trying to adopt good software engineering practices with LabVIEW. We've been aware of the VI Analyzer and the benefits of including the static code analysis in the workflow. For those who not know, the VI Analyzer Toolkit provides tests to your code that helps validate some style and practices and, … Continue reading VI Analyzer and Git
