Here is the quite subjective selection of smaller messages of the past few days:
- The software company Bitwarden has the general Availability of Passwordless.dev announced. It is a developer toolkit that provides a rich API for integrating FIDO2 WebAuthn-based passkeys into websites and enterprise applications. The company also announced that it will provide a free version of Passwordless.dev that includes the full developer toolkit and is expected to support up to 10,000 monthly users.
- The testing solution Jtest and DTP offered by Parasoft for Java developers now has reached version 2023.1. DevOps managers should be able to benefit from the AI-supported JUnit test functions that are now available. Among other things, the new release contains an integration into the Visual Studio Code IDE, which should enable a better view of the results of the static analysis and the code coverage.
- As announced earlier this year, Postman is now providing the first beta version of VS Code Extension ready for your own software. With this first version, users should be able to quickly test and try out their APIs while implementing them. The release focuses on developing the core API client, which allows API requests to be sent across multiple protocols from within Visual Studio Code.
- Google has announced that Google will launch Colab or “Colaboratory” soon AI-powered coding capabilities will introduce, building on Google’s family of code models called Codey. With Colab, developers can write and run their Python code in the browser. Codey is a family of code models built on top of PaLM 2, which Google announced just last week at its Google I/O conference. According to the company, Codey was fine-tuned for this purpose using a large data set of high-quality, freely licensed code from external sources.
- The Microsoft development team behind TypeScript has in a blog entry the availability of Deopt Explorer announced – a VS Code extension that can analyze trace logs generated by V8. Developers have used the software internally to explore the various deoptimizations, ICs, and object types that V8 creates during compiler execution. The tool is now available for download both in the Visual Studio Marketplace as well as Open source on GitHub ready to download.
