Purpose of Regression Testing: Advantages and Importance
Purpose of Regression Testing: Advantages and Importance
Companies that maintain complex software systems (fintech platforms, healthcare applications, SaaS products, or ongoing legacy modernization projects), share a common set of challenges. Each new release risks breaking functionality that once worked when seemingly unrelated code paths are touched. Deployments become stressful for engineers and worrisome for stakeholders who depend on stable, predictable releases. Development teams want to make updates faster without sacrificing reliability, defects must be detected early in the lifecycle, before customers are affected. Achieving these goals requires automated regression testing.

Dot NET Application Migration and Development Services Company
Dot NET Application Migration and Development Services Company
Modernizing .NET applications is a strategic priority. Many legacy .NET Framework versions are past their official support dates, leaving organizations exposed to unpatched vulnerabilities. Modern .NET versions are built for today’s needs: cross-platform deployment, cloud readiness, and high performance out of the box. Teams need microservices, containerized workloads, serverless functions, AI/ML features without needing to rebuild everything from scratch. CTOs, CIOs, and hiring managers modernize to give their teams the tools to move faster and work more securely.

Dot NET Automated Testing
Dot NET Automated Testing
Poor software quality has a huge business cost – $2.41 trillion per year. Automated testing for .NET applications is a business-critical, board-level strategy. Automation frees engineers from repetitive work, letting them focus on higher-value tasks, boosting morale and retention. It mitigates risk. Earlier defect detection and higher application stability reduce costly production failures, data breaches, and reputational damage. Superior product quality and faster delivery strengthen competitive positioning and bottom-line results.

.NET Linq? ZLinq
.NET Linq? ZLinq
ZLinq v1 was released last month (April 2025). It already has more than 2,000 GitHub stars. ZLinq removes the long-standing compromise between LINQ's syntax and the speed demanded by high-performance .NET workloads. Traditional LINQ incurs heap allocations that turn into bottlenecks in tight loops, forcing many teams to abandon it. By eliminating those allocations, ZLinq makes it ideal for scenarios where every microsecond (and allocation) counts. It also breathes new life into legacy projects trapped on older .NET Framework versions.

Hire ASP.NET MVC developers in 2025
Hire ASP.NET MVC developers in 2025
ASP.NET Core is cross-platform and fast, and MVC rides on top of it. In 2025 the pattern is still actual. Blazor and Minimal APIs make sense, but when teams need a data-driven, server-rendered app - or a rock-solid API - they default to MVC with its separate layers, easy tests, loads of built-ins. That is gold for big enterprises - banks, hospitals, insurers keep their MVC stacks alive. MVC also inherits every new .NET boost - faster JIT, tighter security, cloud-native hooks. Hiring proves the point - companies still chase MVC talent to nurse legacy apps and guide them toward the modern stuff.

Healthcare Application Modernization
Healthcare Application Modernization
Everyone in U.S. healthcare -providers, insurers, pharma, and tech companies - is busy modernizing their ancient systems. Thanks to grown-up technologies like cloud, AI, and microservices, healthcare is getting the investment it needs to cut the bureaucracy. That means less clicking for doctors and better digital experiences for patients. But of course, nothing good comes without pain-cybersecurity risks, legacy systems that don’t want to die, and the ever-present chaos of human error are still in the mix. However, these things are manageable.

Business Intelligence Consultant for Fintech
Business Intelligence Consultant for Fintech
Every segment of fintech in the U.S. - from digital banking and payments to lending, insurance, wealth management, and crypto - relies on Business Intelligence to compete and operate efficiently. BI consultants turn huge datasets into dashboards, reports, and predictive models that drive day-to-day decisions and long-term strategy. Whether it’s a neobank analyzing onboarding funnels or a crypto exchange monitoring trade flows, the ability to extract insights from data is a differentiator. This is why fintech firms invest in BI functions and talent: data-driven decision making helps them innovate faster, serve customers better, manage risks, and achieve better performance in a highly competitive industry. Each segment uses BI in unique ways (appropriate to their domain), but all share a common theme: leverage data or fall behind. Hiring skilled BI professionals - or consultants who can advise on BI strategy - gives fintech companies the tools to harness data as a strategic asset.

LLM Summarization of Large Documents: How to Make It Work
LLM Summarization of Large Documents: How to Make It Work
Summarizing text is one of the main use cases for large language models. Clients often want to summarize articles, financial documents, chat history, tables, pages, books, and more. We all expect that LLM will distill only the important pieces of information, especially from long texts. However, this isn't always possible with the expected level of quality. Even a larger token limit isn’t a guaranteed solution. Fortunately, there are approaches that help summarize texts of different lengths - whether it’s a couple of sentences, paragraphs, pages, an entire book, or an unknown amount of text.

Software Testing in Financial Services
Software Testing in Financial Services
In financial systems, you’re not testing if your automation script ran green, but whether the system still moves money, handles identities, calculates correctly, and doesn’t trigger a compliance call. It is about protecting revenue, enforcing compliance, and avoiding regulator fallout. Whether you are building something new or trying to keep legacy from breaking, this is what real QA looks like.

Financial LLM: Use Cases and Examples
Financial LLM: Use Cases and Examples
A major expectation in banking is that LLMs can serve as intelligent assistants for both customers and employees. In the world of asset management, including hedge funds, mutual funds, and other investment firms, the interest in financial LLMs centers on gaining an informational edge and productivity boost. Fintech companies and startups view financial LLMs as an opportunity to differentiate their products with AI and to build new services faster. When the insurance industry speaks of a financial LLM (sometimes explicitly an "insurance LLM"), they mean a model that can understand insurance-specific language and workflows. Companies that provide financial data, analytics, and news have been quick to explore LLMs, often coining their solutions as financial LLMs to market their domain expertise. Their perspective is that a financial LLM should function as an expert financial analyst that a user can talk to on demand.

Katalon Regression Testing Nightmares
Regression automated testing means running the same tests over and over to make sure old features still work after recent changes. On the surface, Katalon seems built for this: it lets you record user actions (clicks, form fills, navigation) and replay them automatically. Once a test scenario is recorded, you can re-run it any time to check for breakage. As one SoftwareAdvice review puts it: “test cases can be created easily using the visual interface.” Sounds perfect for teams without QA automation engineers, or at least, that’s the promise. But then reality hits.

Truewind AI ($17M): AI Use Case in Finance and Accounting
Generative AI, machine learning capabilities, and predictive analytics are gradually becoming part of modern applications. The finance and accounting industry is no exception: startups are emerging. They not only attract investment but also have real clients. One of them is Truewind — founded just around 2 years ago (at the time of writing). A core component of its offer for companies working in accounting is document classification, assigning categories, displaying a confidence score for classification accuracy, and explaining why a particular classification was applied. Integrating such a solution into a B2B SaaS product enables building a sustainable business model, gradually scaling and deepening automation in accounting processes. Truewind relies less on custom large language models, and its senior full-stack engineers build the application using the OpenAI API and vector databases.

However, the success of startups like FidoCure (animal cancer) that has raised $17.1M, demonstrates the strong investor interest.

Speech Recognition Software in Healthcare
Speech Recognition Software in Healthcare
The medical speech recognition software market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of more than 11% over the next five years, according to various software market trend research reports, providing an opportunity for medical technology startups, especially cloud-based ones focused on North America. The potential of advanced AI, machine learning, and NLP to decrease the manual effort required for healthcare documentation, reduce associated costs and eliminate barriers to making more profit for health organizations are key factors driving market growth. Today, it is hard to distinguish medical transcription software from healthcare speech recognition software because they have essentially become the same, especially for tasks where real-time AI-based speech recognition and transcription are employed, with direct inputs into EHRs and other systems, as well as automatic coding. However, in general, transcription is often considered a subset of speech recognition.

Relational Databases in Healthcare
Relational Databases in Healthcare
Relational databases are historically the first databases, that's why they are so widely used in different industries including healthcare. The main goal of a relational database is to reduce data duplication. Relational databases store single pieces of information within tables, familiar to everybody today, using predefined relationships between them, like “this patient has this name/surname in the Patient Database Table and has this diagnosis from the Diagnosis Database Table”. Such databases are also known as SQL databases because SQL programming language is used to store, manipulate, and retrieve data from them. Talking about databases we can’t ignore infrastructure issues around databases, because they do not exist in a vacuum. In fact, healthcare businesses choose a database not on the fact of whether it’s relational or not but by taking into account hosting providers and their services.

This component-based approach allows engineers to reuse pieces of client apps' user interfaces in multiple places and makes the code maintainable at a lower cost.

Healthcare Penetration Testing
What happens when a healthcare system is hit by a cyberattack? Hospitals sever connections to their online systems. As a result, electronic health records systems, patient portals (which enable patients to view their medical records and communicate with their providers), phone systems, and various systems used to order certain tests, procedures, and medications become unavailable. Non-emergent procedures, tests, and appointments are paused. Staff don’t have patient orders and can’t page doctors. Medical, nursing, and clinical teams have to utilize manual processes or documentation methods that they moved away from 20 years ago. Switching to paper records and processing everything by hand, are again in place for various clinical activities, such as dispensing medication, inputting health records, ordering, and completing diagnostic tests and procedures.

To make this possible, there is a special computer program (an app) that can connect QuickBooks and HubSpot together. This app acts as a bridge, allowing data to flow between the two systems. You can find this connecting app in the HubSpot Marketplace, which is HubSpot's own store for add-ons. The app covers most of the common data you'd want to share between accounting and customer systems. However, the pre-built ready-to-use integration app cannot cover absolutely everything that your business needs. This is where custom QuickBooks and HubSpot integration enters the scene.

Best EHR systems and its Disadvantages
Best EHR systems and its Disadvantages
Pre-built EHR systems have numerous disadvantages. The main thing is it forces your doctors to fit predefined limitations. You have to change your workflow to adjust to the new software. Moreover, you will not be able to easily make app modernization over time to maintain a high productivity rate. The ready-made EHR software targets a wide range of consumers and it is not cost-effective for EHR product vendors to customize it for specific customers. Medical software development focused on building your custom EHR system is a different thing entirely.

JSF to Angular migration
JSF to Angular migration
The strong point for JSF is that your in-house or dedicated Java developers don’t need to know everything about frontend to do frontend stuff. However, over time, JSF projects become too complex to maintain, even if your team consists of 100% senior engineers. You're always days behind schedule when you require a use case that isn't provided with existing widgets/features. Developers are forced to create monstrosities of code trying to use JSF to work around the lack of some critical functionalities (like simple REST services). Switching from JSF to client-side frontend frameworks like Angular, React or Vue.js greatly improves developers' efficiency, makes state management much easier and code testing much more streamlined. You don’t need to move your entire JSF-based app at once, break it down and do it in pieces.

Why use Front-end Frameworks
Why use Front-end Frameworks
What are front-end frameworks? Front-end frameworks are software development tools used by custom web application development companies for building user interfaces. They provide a collection of pre-written code that can be reused by following specific standards, which typically include conventions for organizing different parts of the code. By adhering to these standards, front-end frameworks help developers understand and work with code written by others more easily, making them especially useful when different dedicated developers are working on the same codebase. This ensures that your front-end developers apply a single set of rules, documentation, and best practices to write code. If you lose one of the developers, it's easier to find a replacement without much onboarding time, as every developer immediately understands how to do the same kind of work in the same way.
