Running a Jenkins Job on an Amazon EC2 Windows Slave
Jonathan KauffmanBlogs, Continuous Integration, Open SourceNo comments

Continuous integration (CI) is a key component of agile software development that all organizations should strive to include in their development process.  However, for small organizations with little or no infrastructure, purchasing and maintaining a server to use for continuous integration is extremely impractical and often infeasible.  In these situations it is more cost-effective to […]

When developing an application in programming language A you may discover that certain parts of the program are easier to code using a different language B.  At this point you have one of three choices: Write the application entirely in language A. Write the application entirely in language B. Write most of the application using […]

Coveros StaffBlogs, Open Source, Security, TestingNo comments

As part of my ongoing collection of reviews and thoughts on today’s Security Testing Tools, I’m taking a look at the Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) by OWASP.  While, my last review of WebSecurify, looked at a very simplistic tool for Web Application Security Testing, this review will bring us a slightly more complex tool.   So where […]

Coveros StaffBlogs, Continuous Integration, Development, Open Source, Project Management, SecureCI, Security, Software Tools, TestingNo comments

I recently published an article about using CAT.NET security scanner on your .NET web application. Once you get it running, it’s fairly simple to integrate it into your continuous integration process. Our strategy here will be to use a down-stream job in Hudson to run static security analysis on our application build after the main compilation/packaging […]

Resizing a VirtualBox hard drive image under Windows
Coveros StaffBlogs, Software ToolsNo comments

I use a lot of virtual machines for the work I do. Invariably, I start with small virtual hard drives that continuously grow until I run out of space. I used to go through wild gyrations to add an additional hard drive to the machine. It’s actually much simpler to just expand the hard drive. […]

Teaching Firefox to use a CAC
Coveros StaffBlogs, Software ToolsNo comments

Setting start up position for Windows RDP Windows
Coveros StaffBlogs, Software ToolsNo comments

I have an annoying situation where I create RDP windows and they seem to always start the same (but wrong) size. For example, one of my sessions starts “maximized” but only 1280×1024 sized so it ends up having scrollbars inside my 1920×1200 monitor. I then have to de-maximize it, move the window somewhere, and drag […]

Subversion load and performance testing in 10 lines or less?
Coveros StaffBlogs, Development, Software Tools, TestingNo comments

I needed a quantifiable test that can measure svn performance during a check out. This script take 2 arguments, number of checkouts and parallelism. For example, if I want to run 100 checkout 2 at a time ./load.sh 100 2 or 100 checkouts 50 at a time ./load.sh 100 50 #!/bin/bash i=0;  url=”<a href=”http://mysvnrepo” while”>http://mysvnrepo” while</a> [ $i -lt $1 ]; do […]
