Managing JIRA Scrum Sprints using API. Atlassian Jira is a great tool for organizing Agile processes, especially Scrum. But managing Scrum Sprints manually using Jira web GUI maybe time consuming and annoying. So, I decided to automate some routine operations using JIRA API and Python.
I will use my domain account for authentication. First of all let’s see how to get Jira Scrum Board ID by it’s name and get all the Sprints related to the Board.
Programmers are also people who also make mistakes. It’s the first part of our talk with Daniil Svetlov at his radio show “Safe Environment” (or “Safe Wednesday” – kind of wordplay in Russian) recorded 29.03.2017. We were discussing why Software Vulnerabilities are everyone’s problem. Full video in Russian without subtitles is available here.
I added manually transcribed Russian/English subtitles to the video:
Why vulnerabilities are dangerous for business and for ordinary people?
How vulnerabilities appear in programs?
How to write code safely?
What motivates vulnerability researchers?
Vulnerabilities as a first step in writing malicious software
We wanted to talk today about software vulnerabilities. Tell me, what is it all about, why are they dangerous for business, for ordinary people and what are the difficulties with their remediation.
Speaking about vulnerabilities, it’s probably worth to tell how they generally appear in programs.
Let’s say we have a company. This company is developing some software. Some programmers work in it. Programmers are also people who also make mistakes. And if some mistakes that are directly related to the functionality of this application, can be detected quite simply in the testing process…
Are you talking about functional testing?
Yes, it is about functional testing.
QA specialists can quickly find these vulnerabilities, or these problems, these bugs. Some problems can not be detected in such a simple way. For example, some problems related to security.
Why? Because the main task of the programmers: the program should work.
