The use of digital signatures is outlined in the FDA’s regulations, particularly in the context of electronic…

… if the build and test pipeline does not pass. After stumbling across this recent community post, it inspired us to write a little something about pull requests, reviewers, notifications and what to avoid. Adding reviewers to pull requests before ensuring the code successfully passes the build and test pipeline is an…

After recently checking if there has been any progress with BSERV-10715 (Labels for Pull Requests), with no luck. We have decided to do what we can to assist those out there looking for a better label solution for their Bitbucket instance. Today, we’re excited to announce a significant enhancement to our Organizr for…

Development teams, QA teams, and other Bitbucket teams often face challenges in managing their reviewer groups. These groups are essential for efficient code review processes, but they require manual creation and maintenance on a project or repository level. This can lead to duplication and busy work when people join or…

Here we are again, Atlassian Codegeist, for the 2nd time. Forge and AI sounded just too familiar after we made it to 6th place in Codegeist 2020, and we could not resist having another go after 3 long years. Ideation - How AlBert was conceived I must say we actually did a very selfish thing - since there was no comparable…

In our previous post, we covered how to use Git-merge and effective merge conflict resolution strategies to enable fast moving teams to collaborate effectively. Today, we’ll have a look at alternatives to git-merge, namely git-rebase and git-cherry-pick. Alternatives to Git merge: Git’s Rebase and Cherry-pick In addition…

Understanding Git Merge Conflicts What are merge conflicts? Merge conflicts occur when Git encounters conflicting changes in different branches that it cannot automatically resolve.

We have all experienced the slowest and most laborious method of locating a problematic git commit. It involves checking out an old commit, ensuring the faulty code is absent, proceeding to a slightly more recent commit, conducting another inspection, and repeating this process iteratively until the flawed commit is…

We've got the tips and techniques you need to streamline your code history and manage commits like a pro - when you stick to a few rules it's easier than you think. Understand the difference: git…

It's time to take playtime seriously. You've likely heard the common advice to "think outside the box," but now I think we should look deeper at what that really means. Lego, a cornerstone of childhood creativity, has become a powerful tool for workplace success. I'm putting pen to paper, or better yet, fingers to keyboard…

Introduction to Shift Left in Agile Software DevelopmentAs companies increase their adoption of Agile software development methodologies, there is a growing focus on “shifting left” some aspects of the development process to an earlier stage in the project lifecycle.

Until recently I made my (otherwise joyful) developer life a lot harder than it needed to be, and no it's not what you’re thinking, I haven’t run out of coffee. It’s much worse, and I’m sure others have come across this as well. Yes that's right, recurring merge conflicts. To be more precise, I’m talking about recurring…

Some of your team may consider themselves close to perfect (it's scary, right?), but most are humble about the fact that they make small mistakes, all the time. The earlier we catch those small mistakes, the better! For one there are automated tests running in your…

No doubt: pull request merge-checks are a God-sent for larger teams that require a thorough pull request review process. At the end of the process, only when all conditions are fulfilled, the pull request can be merged. However the process and merge-check requirement can become too rigid and actually slow down the process…
