The smoke test: the golden arrow in an admin’s quiver

Software teams have long benefitted from using a smoke test to quickly validate a new software build. The smoke test is designed to verify basic functionality and the most common problems that appear in the product. Using a structured smoke test makes managing change across your Confluence instance much easier as it’s an easily reproducible test any administrator can perform. In this article we’ll cover how to use the admin tools to verify integrity, how to generate a good content test bed, and how to run those tests.

Atlassian Connect for Bitbucket: A new way to extend your workflow in the cloud

More than 3 million developers and 450,000 teams use Bitbucket to manage and collaborate on source code. But code collaboration is only a fraction of what software teams do on a daily basis to ship software. Nowadays, shipping great software involves constant context switching using tools that don’t integrate tightly. Even when integrations are made, […]

Stash levels up deployment flexibility with AWS support

Flexibility is an important consideration for all professional teams, whether it concerns infrastructure, workflow, or scalability needs. It’s a factor that is always first and foremost for us when we’re building products and it’s something our customers have come to know and love about Atlassian. With respect to infrastructure in particular, these needs are changing. Gone are the days when on-premise solutions were the status quo – with the advent of affordable, secure, and scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solutions, we’re now seeing a trend towards deployments in the cloud or a hybrid mix of both.

Happy birthday, Git! Cheers to 10 years

Dear Git, Watching you grow up over the last 10 years has been quite the journey. When your creator, Linus Torvalds, first announced you were coming into this world after only three days of coding, we had no idea how big of an impact you would have on all of our lives. You allow teams […]

Bitbucket snippets for teams are here with a rich set of APIs

We’re thrilled to announce Snippets, available now in Bitbucket, where you can create and manage multi-file snippets of all kinds. We took a different approach than standard pastebin or gist and we built Snippets around teams. Snippets can be shared with your team, made private to you, or fully public; you control read and write privileges. If you create a snippet owned by your team, the snippet will stay with the team forever, even after you leave that team.

Snippets for teams are here with a rich set of APIs

Teams that use Bitbucket often want to share important information that isn’t part of their project repository – favorite regexes, config files, code snippets, homebrew recipes (beers, and the package manager). And yes – image, audio, video, and a host of other MIME types. Currently, there is no way to share such information via Bitbucket. […]

Stash on Docker

Docker has been moving at ‘lightning speed’ and has been adopted by software development teams all over the world. Since the beginning, we at Atlassian, have been very excited about the potential of Docker. In fact, we wrote early on how to run Java in a Docker container, and created an internal self-service model to deploy applications on our cloud using Docker containers. We also experimented early with containerizing our products (see our experiments on bitbucket). We have been big fans of Docker, and I am proud to serve on Docker’s Advisory Board.

Meet the new gold standard in workflow automation

I’ve been called many things by many people, and “borderline OCD” is one that pops up more frequently than I should probably admit. It’s just so satisfying when my own records match those of my bank… when I know the next three turns I need to make when driving to someplace new… when the issues on […]
