Datadog Launches Unified End-to-End Testing Platform

PR Newswire

With the addition of Continuous Testing, Datadog provides a full suite of
test automation services to help engineering teams create, run and remediate test results more quickly

NEW YORK , Oct. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG), the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, today announced the general availability of Datadog Continuous Testing, a new product that helps developers and quality engineers quickly create, manage and run end-to-end tests for their web applications.

Complex use cases in modern applications have made it extremely time consuming for engineers to write, run and manage software tests, resulting in slow release cycles. Datadog Continuous Testing provides a complete testing workbench that simplifies test creation and maintenance and makes running tests much faster. With this product, engineers can create tests right from the UI without scripting, run tests in parallel and integrate with popular CI tools so tests become a part of their existing CI processes.

“Thanks to Datadog Continuous Testing, we have doubled our release cycle speed and reduced the number of critical bugs shipped in production to near zero over the past 12 months,” said Paul Vidal, co-founder and CTO at Collective.work.

“Creating and running end-to-end tests today is a time-consuming and error-prone process that many teams struggle with as they scale. This impacts release velocity as engineers need wide test coverage in order to safely deploy new code in production while avoiding regressions. On top of this, teams need tests to be fast and resilient, otherwise developers start to avoid the CI so that they can ship code faster,” said Renaud Boutet, SVP of Product at Datadog. “Continuous Testing solves this problem by giving engineers a platform to quickly create, run and manage their tests in one place.”

Key features of Datadog Continuous Testing include:

  • No-Code Test Creation: Using a no-code recorder, any team member can simply click through their application—just as a user would—to create end-to-end tests.
  • Parallel Testing: Run multiple automated tests simultaneously to reduce testing time.
  • Self-Healing Capabilities: Tests automatically track UI changes in an application and adjust to changes with no user intervention.
  • Failure Troubleshooting: When used with Datadog APM and Real User Monitoring, users can drill down into backend traces and session replay to pinpoint the root cause of failures.
  • CI Tools Integration: Out-of-the-box integrations with top CI providers, including GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Circle CI, and Jenkins, mean that teams can leverage Continuous Testing with their existing technology stack.

Datadog Continuous Testing is generally available and pricing details can be found here. To learn more, please visit: https://www.datadoghq.com/product/continuous-testing/

Datadog Introduces Cloud Cost Management

PR Newswire

The new product is the first to unify cost and observability data for finance, FinOps and engineering teams to understand and take control of cloud costs


NEW YORK
, Oct. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG), the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, today announced the general availability of Cloud Cost Management, which shows an organization’s cloud spend in the context of their observability data. This allows engineering and FinOps teams to automatically attribute spend to applications, services and teams, track any changes in spend, understand why those changes occurred and include costs as a key performance indicator of application health.

As organizations continue to migrate their workloads to the cloud, controlling cloud spend has become increasingly important. However, reconciling what resources an application is using with the cost of those resources has required substantial manual work to correlate data across multiple point solutions. As a result, Gartner planning assumptions estimate that by 2024 60% of infrastructure and operations leaders will encounter public cloud cost overruns1.

Cloud Cost Management addresses this challenge by unifying observability and cloud data to provide finance, FinOps and operations teams with detailed cloud spend reports. Teams now have the ability to drill down and investigate changes in cloud spend by cost center, application, service and resource. And as Cloud Cost Management is part of the Datadog platform, engineers can do this as part of their existing workflows, bringing an additional level of cost awareness to their work.

“Best practices are important, but there is no substitution for real measurement and cost optimization. Datadog Cloud Cost Management helped us attribute spend at a granular level over dozens of accounts to achieve significant savings. It also enabled us to bring cost data adjacent to operational metrics in a familiar environment for our engineering teams to monitor cost as part of overall service health,” said Martin Amps, Principal Engineer at Stitch Fix.

“As the shift to the cloud accelerates so does the need for organizations to rightsize their cloud spend,” said Yrieix Garnier, VP of Product at Datadog. “Datadog Cloud Cost Management helps organizations do this by improving cost visibility across organizations so engineering, FinOps and finance teams can work together to make better business decisions about their cloud usage.”

Cloud Cost Management helps teams:

  • See cloud costs directly in engineers’ existing workflows: Engineers can view cloud costs in their existing workflows to understand how they are driving cloud costs across their organization.
  • Understand cost changes: Use observability data—CPU and memory utilization alongside instance costs or the number of reads and writes to S3 buckets along with their associated sizes and costs, for example—to automatically surface cost changes and help teams understand why changes have occurred.
  • Take ownership of costs: Use flexible, out-of-the-box dashboards and powerful data visualization to make cost data an easy-to-understand metric for engineering teams as they monitor the health and performance of their services.

Cloud Cost Management is generally available for AWS customers, with multi-cloud support coming in early 2023. To learn more, please visit: https://www.datadoghq.com/product/cloud-cost-management/

Canon Colorado 1650 UVgel Ink Approved for 3M™ MCS™ Warranty program

PR Newswire


MELVILLE, N.Y.
, Oct. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced that 3M has recognized the exceptional quality of the Colorado 1650 and its UVgel 460 ink for approval in their 3M™ MCS™ Warranty program. This approval provides assurance that applications printed on the Colorado 1650 in combination with the UVgel 460 and 3M’s approved media will achieve the highest quality standards. Applications covered by the 3M MCS Warranty include vehicle graphics, signs and displays, floor graphics and many others.

To qualify for the approval, the Colorado 1650 and its UVgel 460 inks, in combination with a variety of 3M media, successfully passed a series of rigorous tests carried out under 3M’s stringent assessment conditions. Underpinned by the thorough testing of ink, printer and media combinations, including also 3M’s elaborate weathering technology, the 3M MCS Warranty gives both print service providers and their customers peace of mind and confidence that their images will perform as expected for the intended lifetime of the printed graphic.

Widely recognized as a top industry standard and representing the most comprehensive, all-inclusive warranty for finished graphics, the 3M MCS Warranty provides non-prorated protection for the graphic’s intended lifespan, including protection against fading, cracking, peeling, blistering, discoloration and many other aspects of graphic performance.

The industry’s most productive 64-inch printer, the Canon Colorado 1650 uses the unique UVgel ink technology, which incorporates all the best aspects of alternative ink technologies, such as the color gamut and light fastness of eco-solvent, the fit-for-indoor use and quick drying time of latex and the productivity and low-temperature printing process of UV. UVgel technology also enables unique options, such as the production of output with a matte or gloss finish or even the two combined in one print.

UVgel inks produce odorless, ultra-robust output fully certified for indoor use, as well as being very durable for outdoor use. With customers benefitting from zero VOC emissions, zero hazardous air pollutants and a low average ink usage of 6.4ml/m2 across the more than 2,500 UVgel engines installed worldwide, UVgel has already proved itself to be a sustainable and cost-efficient alternative for latex and eco-solvent technology.

“At 3M we take pride in the ability to provide graphics manufacturers the widest selection of premier printing solutions. Extending the warranty through our partnership with Canon reinforces our commitment to quality and to our customers’ success, which in turn inspires confidence in the printed graphics,” said Woonsik Shim, vice president, Graphics and Personal Auto Business, 3M Commercial Solutions Division.

“UVgel is a breakthrough technology that is transforming the way wide format graphics and other applications are being produced.  By securing the 3M MCS Warranty, we have passed yet another milestone in our long-term strategy to encourage adoption of the technology,” said Shinichi “Sam” Yoshida, executive vice president and general manager of Canon U.S.A., Inc.  “By working together with key industry partners such as 3M, we will continue our mission to offer print service providers in this exciting market a wider choice of print technologies and demonstrate the significant difference UVgel could make to their business.”

Canon is seeing a rapid growth in the take-up of its Colorado platform and patented UVgel technology and, in 2020, invested in a new, state-of-the-art ink factory at its headquarters in Venlo, Netherlands, which is now fully operational and increasing its production capacity continuously to keep up with demand.

Canon is currently setting up new labels and packaging so that the Colorado 1650 and its UVgel 460 ink will be available for the 3M MCS Warranty starting January 1, 2023. At this time, customers will be able to register to apply for the 3M MCS Warranty Certificate for the Colorado 1650 and UVgel 460 ink.

HashiCorp and Intel Collaborate to Help Platform Teams Improve Cloud Adoption and Migration Efforts

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HashiCorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCP), a leading provider of multi-cloud infrastructure automation software, today announced a go-to-market and development collaboration with Intel. This collaboration will accelerate migration to the cloud with HashiCorp Terraform, new operational efficiency optimizations for Intel Xeon-based platforms, and supporting services from Intel’s extensive global ecosystem.

Digital transformation efforts are still in the early stages for most organizations, with smart cloud migration being a core component of these efforts. Organizations migrating targeted workloads from private data centers to the cloud have challenges with their existing tools and often lack the skills required to execute effectively.

HashiCorp and Intel aim to address these challenges through this collaboration from two industry leaders — combining HashiCorp Terraform, which organizations rely on to standardize infrastructure provisioning and management for cloud and private data centers, and Intel’s best-in-class processors. Terraform has been downloaded hundreds of millions of times by enterprises worldwide for infrastructure automation, and Intel processors continue to be the industry standard for organizations to run their workloads in their private data centers or cloud environments.

Intel will invest in a new migration offering to support and integrate with public cloud providers. The offering will include the following:

  • HashiCorp Terraform Cloud or Enterprise license for infrastructure provisioning and management.
  • HashiCorp Sentinel policies for Intel intended to validate that the chosen Intel instances comply with business planning, preventing costly re-deploys or using less performant instances during initial provisioning and “Day 2” management and operations.
  • Cloud migration services through Intel’s network of partners, including Integrated Service Providers and Systems Integrators. Customers can purchase efficient and cost-effective cloud computing resources through public cloud providers for their cloud migration to support their business needs.

“We are pleased to work with Intel on this program to help accelerate cloud migrations,” said Armon Dadgar, co-founder and CTO, HashiCorp. “HashiCorp’s products help the world’s largest enterprises automate the provisioning, networking, and security that underlie their cloud operations. This collaboration will make the process of migrating to the cloud easier and more effective for companies all over the world.”

“Intel and HashiCorp see an opportunity to deliver optimizations through automated infrastructure provisioning that ensures customers realize the return and value from their cloud investments. Through this collaboration, HashiCorp is leveraging Intel® Xeon® processor technology and creating a library of Intel recommendations using Policy as Code (PaC) to influence the developer experience at the point of consumption,” said Janet George, corporate vice president and general manager of the Cloud and Enterprise Solutions Group, Intel.

The cloud migration offering will be available in early 2023 through the AWS Marketplace and Microsoft Azure Marketplace.

Award-winning musician featured in art, flavor text

RENTON, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The art of music comes alive as Wizards of the Coast, a division of Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), reveals new Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair cards, designed and imagined by Grammy award-nominated 3x diamond-certified recording artist Post Malone.

This highly collectible product series has become a fan-favorite and iconic showcase for the creativity and passion of artists, brands, and entertainers around the world.

Post, a noted Magic: The Gathering enthusiast, provided creative input for cards in Secret Lair X Post Malone: Backstage Pass. Not only are the featured cards selected from his personal deck, the design features Post in a starring role.

In Secret Lair X Post Malone: The Lands, the scenery for the land cards features Post’s iconic tattoos somewhere among the setting. In addition, Post handwrote and drew the text for the land cards, making each one a personal expression from Post to the players.

“Post is helping us celebrate 30 years of Magic, and that includes this Secret Lair,” said Mark Heggen, a product architect for Magic: The Gathering. “We’ve loved working with him to find this new and unexpected way for him to connect with his millions of fans – either through his Magic enthusiasm or his immensely popular music.”

Both Secret Lair sets are available for preorder now until Nov. 14. Once the preordering window closes, they are gone for good! Both sets will be available in foil and nonfoil editions.

Secret Lair is a celebration of Magic: The Gathering through collaborations with world renowned artists, familiar franchises, and special events. It is a totally wild exploration into what it means to be a Magic card.

Keysight Solutions Support Industry Adoption of the New USB4® Version 2.0 Specification

Keysight Solutions Support Industry Adoption of the New USB4® Version 2.0 Specification

New test and measurement solutions accelerate the development, implementation, and deployment of new USB 80Gbps compatible devices

SANTA ROSA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company that delivers advanced design and validation solutions to help accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced new simulation and test and measurement solutions that accelerate the development, implementation, and deployment of new USB 80Gbps compatible devices.

USB4® Version 2.0 specification enables a plug-and-play interface for inter-digital communication, offering significant advantages in bandwidth and data delivery. Keysight’s industry collaborations, coupled with extensive research and development efforts, have enabled the company to deliver solutions specifically for design characterization and validation for USB 80Gbps. As a result, an ecosystem built around reversible and backward compatible USB Type-C® connectors, consisting of silicon vendors and system integrators, can effectively address a growing digital device market with applications including high-resolution displays and higher-fidelity virtual reality devices.

Specific to USB4 Version 2.0, Keysight is introducing the D9050USBC Transmitter test application, which automates the testing of measurements required for transmitter compliance and return loss testing for USB 80Gbps. In addition, the N5991U42A Receiver test application automates the complex calibration and receiver testing of USB 80Gbps products. Keysight’s 7019A USB Type-C® Active Link Fixture provides access to all USB Type-C signals in a USB 80Gbps live link.

“Visions like the metaverse are part of the next chapter of the world’s digital transformation. A wide range of products, including smartphones, AR/VR devices, computers, tablets, and digital cameras, will rely on this next-generation high-speed digital standard,” says Joachim Peerlings, Vice President of Network and Data Center Solutions at Keysight. “Our commitment to supporting the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) and an ecosystem based on the USB4 specification will help drive the adoption of the ubiquitous USB digital connectivity standard.”

In conjunction with the D9010USBP USB Protocol Trigger and Decode, customers can configure protocol-level searches and triggers to debug and decode USB 80Gbps sideband and high-speed traffic. Keysight’s network analyzer application software, such as S96011B Enhanced time-domain analysis with TDR and S94USBCB USB Type-C interconnects compliance test application, simplifies and automates the complex test and characterization process of USB Type-C interconnects compliance testing to support the USB4 / USB Type-C test ecosystem.

To enable early design stage simulations as well as extensive system level post-layout analysis, Keysight’s PathWave Advanced Design System, Pathwave ADS, now offers a USB4 Version 2.0 IBIS-AMI model maker which facilitates the development of such models for USB 80Gbps devices. The IBIS-AMI models generated using the W3081E are then used in ChannelSimulation to predict and simulate the BER, eye metrics, and other design parameters.

“USB-IF is committed to working closely with the industry and its members, such as Keysight, who support the delivery of high-performance USB solutions while ensuring reliability, ease-of-use and quality,” said Jeff Ravencraft, President and COO of USB-IF. “Keysight’s early solutions helped facilitate the roll-out of the USB4 specification to accelerate the market introduction of certified USB 80Gbps products.”

Keysight offers a comprehensive portfolio of high-speed digital instrumentations.

  • Keysight’s Infinium UXR-Series Oscilloscopes deliver accuracy in waveform representation across a wide frequency range.
  • Keysight’s Vector Network Analyzers measure both the amplitude and phase responses caused by the device. The resulting transmission and reflection measurements, impedance, and s-parameters are then used for compliance tests and characterization.
  • Keysight’s highly integrated Bit Error Ratio Testers (BERTs) identify errors introduced into the system when data is received. This is a critical capability in physical layer characterization, validation, and compliance testing.

USB4®, USB Type-C® and USB-C® are registered trademarks of the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF).
