July 2023

A Big Welcome to CM Matchpoint ALM

We would first like to welcome a new addition to the CM WebClient newsletter, CM Matchpoint ALM (you can find more on our Matchpoint product here). In future issues, you will see additional content related to Matchpoint ALM, for a broader look at CA Plex application development and management than you have seen in the past.


In this issue...


We've covered AI quite a bit in recent issues, and plan to follow up with more given the vastness and high speed of change in the area. Our "heads up" article just below this shares some tips and best practices on coding with AI.


Going beyond AI, we have article finds on SOLID principles with Clean Code, Elizabeth Hendrickson on the urgency of code structure, low-code vs. traditional, and top tools for extreme programming.

Heads Up

Fortunately, it's still early, and Info World has a solid primer on getting started if you haven't developed your own system as of yet.

Do you want to write clean code without 'code smells,' or the need for refactoring spaghetti code pushed out in a rush? SOLID principles just might be the answer. SOLID is an acronym for the first five object-oriented design (OOD) principles by Robert C. Martin (AKA Uncle Bob the author of Clean Code).


Better understand the first principles that help you write clean code and avoid these common pitfalls for good in this video.
