Dependency Injection needs a better understanding so let’s break the term Dependency Injection in two parts Dependency and Injection.

What is Dependency?

Consider the following Java class.

public class User {

private Database mDatabase;

public User() {

mDatabase = new Database();

}

}

In the above class, we are creating the object of class Database inside the constructor of class User. So here, we can say that the User is dependent on Database. So here, Database is a dependency for the class User.

What is Injection?

As we saw the User is Dependent on Database, now think how User can get its dependency, which is the Database.

We can consider the following two ways

Method #1

In AX 2012 R3

• For the computation of Depreciation in AX 2012, R3 provides two books. Both have their importance and client use this book as per need.

1. Valuation model
2. Depreciation book

• Value Model Depreciation should always be initiated through the Fixed Assets Journal. (Fixed assets | Journals | Fixed assets).
• Depreciation Book (Tax Book) Depreciation should always be initiated through the Depreciation Book Journal. (Fixed Assets | Journals | Depreciation book journal).

If you are a beginner and trying to figure out “What’s docker” then, believe me, you are in the right place. I’m going to start with a little background about docker, the problems it tries to solve and then come to the main topic.

I’m sure you would have heard the word ‘Docker’ in one or the other way (if you haven’t believed me you are in the wrong field). There is a buzz about Docker, Containerization, Kubernets etc. recently, so what is it?

“Docker is a containerization technology that helps you ship your product/software along with its related dependencies”

1. What is Elastic Search?

Elastic Search is a search engine based on Lucene. It provides a distributed, multitenant-capable full-text search engine with HTTP web interface and schema-free JSON and is released as open-source under the terms of the Apache License.

2. Why should it be used?

If we require, where we needed to get the data analytics for our site. We can add data analytics by using Elastic Search. Let’s suppose we have our site deployed to various environments for different clients and we have to extract useful data, such as the users who had logged in on a certain day, or the volume of users in different locales so that we can create and adjust their strategies accordingly.

Elastic Search is developed alongside a data-collection and log-parsing engine called Logstash, and an analytics and visualization platform called “Kibana”. The three products are designed for use as an integrated solution, referred to as the “Elastic Stack”.

3. How to install it:

For the real-world “usual” scenario concerning the performance testing involving 90 to 100 users is easily possible, but the limitation we face here is that the respective resources eventually get occupied. Henceforth, it becomes cryptic in the “Exceptional” scenario where the capacities of the users are on a large scale (say: 10k, 20k…nk). Well, in this scenario we tell machines to do our job because they can do routine work faster than a human can do or we add more resources to the machine so that it can perform those functions faster. A “Test Rig” network is meant for this purpose, i.e. to simulate large number of users through machines.

Visual Studio Test Rig can be used for running tests remotely, distribute tests across multiple machines, or run load tests. A Test Rig works as Master-Slave technology wherein “Test controller” is a Master and “Test Agents” are slaves.

• A Controller as the name implies controls Agents who work as clients for generating loads). For generating load on remote computers, one must install a Test Controller utility and then configure it to communicate with Agents.
• An Agent is responsible for accepting the command from the controller and execute script or web requests in specific order and fashion.

What is Jenkins?

Jenkins is a Continuous Integration (CI) Server or open-source automation tool written in Java with plugins built for Continuous Integration purpose. Jenkins supports the complete development lifecycle of software from building, testing and deploying a software development lifecycle.

For example, if the team is developing a project, Jenkins will continuously test your project builds and show you the errors in the early stages of your development that’s the reason Jenkins is more popular.

What is Jenkins Pipeline?

Jenkins Pipeline is a suite of plugins that supports implementing and integrating continuous delivery pipelines into Jenkins. Jenkins Pipeline is written into a Pipeline script. In Jenkins Pipeline it allows us to fill in details for the different steps of our Jenkins job.

Below is the diagram of the Jenkins Pipeline workflow.
