In parallel, fear may come with the doubt of having bugs (even though testing is done). You can fix bugs related to software feature or functionality but the once which can hit badly are Security vulnerability  Licensing risk of open source component. Outdated open source component. Above checks needs to be done during the development phase and ruled out any discrepancy related to security or legal. WhiteSource provides one fine platform to solve such issues without putting much effort by developers, So that they can concentrate on core development instead of spending time on finding these issues which can be easily handled by WhiteSource . WhiteSource is an open source management solution which does Open source licensing and compliance management Open Source security vulnerabilities alerts and management Executive d...

  Continuous Delivery and Continuous deployment This article talks about continuous Delivery  and Deployment to depict the picture of the reason and what exactly we need to look at before moving to CD. Many times team may not have achieved the Continuous integration properly, may be due to lack to proper tool, workflow or historical process.
