Hey everyone. As promised, I am writing this new series on how to automate your releases/versioning using a git based source code control management. To achieve this I believe I might write two or three blog posts, let's see how it goes. I started from the end showing a release automation process, but there are … Continue reading Automating your versioning (part 1)

Gitlab Runner and LabVIEW-CLI
Usually I've been trying to run all my testing pipeline using docker images (docker image repo). Mainly because it is a very clean and nice way to run reproducible tests, as each container has a limited life cycle and gets destroyed after a job. Last week (for some reason that I am still trying to … Continue reading Gitlab Runner and LabVIEW-CLI
Release Automation with Gitlab CI
Hey everyone, I am back. I am having some time to write in the Carnaval Holidays. This time I will talk about a feature in Gitlab that is not explored in many projects, mayb because it is not part of the git itself, but it has been a way to describe the tags and attach … Continue reading Release Automation with Gitlab CI
Gitlab Code Quality Report – Update
Hi everyone, it's been a while without writing something. Not that I don't want to, but this 2020 has been very crazy.

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?
This is one of big points that I consider very important in maintaining a source code, being public or in your company. As the LabVIEW Community grows with open source code, it is important to know this software engineering trick. Let's have some discussion about it. Why? I could enumerate many things here, but there … Continue reading Keep a Changelog, but Why?
LabVIEW + Docker + Windows = Match?
The last few weeks I've been busy, I mean, really busy trying to figure out how to assemble everything together, and I finally got something to work. After all, is LabVIEW + Docker + Windows, a match? Continuous Integration During my mission of implementing Continuous Integration in my development workflow it wasn't clear until so … Continue reading LabVIEW + Docker + Windows = Match?
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
Project Templates
Hey, I'm back. It's been a while without posting, and now I'm bringing something that I've been researching in the past few weeks.
