#PowerShell
Windows PowerShell is a Windows command-line shell designed especially for system administrators. Windows PowerShell includes an interactive prompt and a scripting environment that can be used independently or in combination. Initially a Windows component only, known as Windows PowerShell, it was made open-source and cross-platform in 2016 with the introduction of PowerShell Core. The former is built on .NET Framework while the latter on .NET Core.
Unlike most shells, which accept and return text, Windows PowerShell accepts and returns .NET Framework objects. This fundamental change in the environment brings entirely new tools and methods to the management and configuration of Windows. Like many shells, Windows PowerShell gives you access to the file system on the computer.

#TDD | Test-driven Development
Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: requirements are turned into very specific test cases, then the software is improved to pass the new tests, only.
Each iteration starts with a set of tests written for a new piece of functionality. These tests are supposed to fail during the start of iteration as there will be no application code corresponding to the tests. In the next phase of the iteration Application code is written with an intention to pass all the tests written earlier in the iteration. Once the application code is ready tests are run.
Any failures in the test run are marked and more Application code is written/re-factored to make these tests pass. Once application code is added/re-factored the tests are run again. This cycle keeps on happening till all the tests pass. Once all the tests pass we can be sure that all the features for which tests were written have been developed.

#Bamboo
Bamboo is a continuous integration and continuous deployment server developed by Atlassian. It support builds in any programming language using any build tool, including Ant, Maven, make, and any command line tools.
• The build and test process is not dependent on a specific local environment.
• Build and integration tests are triggered automatically as soon as a developer commits code (continuous integration).
Some of the advantages of Bamboo over its contemporaries like Jenkins are that it has built-in Git Branching workflows and deployment projects. It also has built-in integration with other Atlassian software like Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, HipChat etc. which are also widely used.
Note: Bamboo is an on-premise, commercial continuous integration tool.

#Docker
Docker is a technology that performs OS-level virtualization, also known as "containerization". Containers allow a developer to package an application with all the part it needs, such as libraries and other dependencies, and ship it all out as one package so that the application can work efficiently in different environment. It is a very important tool which is used in DevOps.
Unlike a virtual machine, rather than creating a whole virtual operating system, Docker allows applications to use the same kernel as the system that they're running on and only requires applications be shipped with things not already running on the host computer. Each container shares the services of one underlying operating system. This gives a significant performance boost and reduces the size of the application.
The Company: Docker, Inc. is the company behind development of Docker (software).

#BI | Business Intelligence
BI or Business Intelligence is defined as the process of gathering, cleansing, analyzing, integration and sharing data to accelerate business growth. It help companies get better and detailed insight on data that in turn helps the company to make better decisions.
BI is not achieved with one tool or via one system. It is a collection of applications, technologies, and components that make up the entire implementation. The raw data is organized to give insights into user behavior. E.g. Youtube showing related videos OR Amazon showing recommended products after a User search.
From Testing perspective, it is recommended to test the entire flow, right from data collection at source till the end reports & analytics.

Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information.
• Build automation tool used primarily for Java projects, can also be used to build and manage projects written in C#, Ruby, Scala, and other languages.
• Resolves Dependencies: define dependencies in POM file instead of manual adding it to your Build Path. Maven will take care of all the dependencies or jar which are defined in pom.xml.
An XML file describes the software project being built, its dependencies on other external modules and components, the build order, directories, and required plug-ins. Maven dynamically downloads Java libraries and Maven plug-ins from one or more repositories and stores them in a local cache. It comes with pre-defined targets for performing certain well-defined tasks such as compilation of code and its packaging.

<< Java on WhatsApp : https://rzp.io/l/parikshramjavabytes >>
Jenkins is an open-source continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) solution written in Java. The idea of CI is to merge code from individual developers into a project multiple times per day and test continuously to avoid downstream problems. CD takes this a step further to ensure that all merged code is always in a production-ready state. Jenkins enables developers to automate this process as much as possible -- up to the point of deployment.
Builds can be triggered by various means, for example by commit in a version control system, by scheduling via a cron-like mechanism and by requesting a specific build URL. It can also be triggered after the other builds in the queue have completed.
Running automated tests in Jenkins allows you to run your tests every time your software changes and deploy the software to a new environment when the tests pass. This concept is meant to remove the problem of finding later occurrence of issues in the build lifecycle.

#Info #Bytes | JSON (Structured Data) --- parikshram.com
JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is an open-standard, readable format for structuring data. It is used primarily for asynchronous browser–server communication as an alternative to XML.
JSON syntax (human-readable text) is derived from JavaScript object notation syntax:
• Data is in name/value pairs.
• Data is separated by commas.
• Curly braces hold objects.
• Square brackets hold arrays.
Browser-server communication can only be text >> JSON is text >> Convert any JavaScript object into JSON >> Send JSON to the server >> Convert any JSON received from the server into JavaScript objects >> Work with the data as JavaScript objects, with no complicated parsing and translations.
• Less verbose – XML uses more words than necessary.
• JSON is faster – Parsing XML software is slow and cumbersome.

Apache POI Java APIs are used for manipulating various file formats based upon the Office Open XML standards (OOXML) and Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document format (OLE2). In short, you can read and write MS Excel files using Java. In addition, you can read and write MS Word and MS PowerPoint files using Java. Apache POI is your Java Excel solution (for Excel 97-2008). OLE2 files include most Microsoft Office files such as XLS, DOC, and PPT as well as MFC serialization API based file formats.
For each MS Office application there exists a component module that attempts to provide a common high level Java API to both OLE2 and OOXML document formats. This is most developed for Excel workbooks (SS=HSSF+XSSF). Work is progressing for Word documents (WP=HWPF+XWPF) and PowerPoint presentations (SL=HSLF+XSLF).
