InfoQ's research widget has been deprecated. It should continue to work however, and we hope to relaunch it at some point in the future.

  • How Do You Unit Test Your JavaScript Code?

    Recently, we asked you about your JavaScript testing approaches, and your responses showed Unit Testing Tools as the most popular. To follow up, we now want to know which unit testing tools you use.

  • What IoT Technology Have You Used or Learned About?

    InfoQ Research wants to determine the technologies mostly used by our community in their IoT projects.

  • What is Your Interest in the IoT?

    InfoQ wants to evaluate the involvement of our community in hobbyist or real-life IoT projects.

  • JavaScript Testing Approaches

    ​​​Testing, taken in the loosest sense of the word, is widely agreed to be a positive thing, bestowing various benefits, including allowing us to better understand our code, and identifying bugs. What we're wondering is how you are testing JavaScript code -- if indeed you are even testing ​at all. Vote for Functional Testing, Unit Testing Tools, Test Automation Frameworks, or not testing.

  • Common Causes of Team Conflict

    Team collaboration is one of the primary focuses of Agile. In agile teams, conflicts arise which are healthy as well unhealthy.

  • How Do You Handle Async APIs and Callback Hell?

    Asynchronous APIs are increasingly popular but they are more tedious to program than their synchronous counterparts. How do you handle asynchronous APIs and stay out of Callback Hell?

  • Java 8: Will It See More Rapid Adoption?

    Historically, organizations have tended to move to a new version of a language slowly (witness the looming crisis in Visual Basic 6). However Java 8 is arguably the biggest update to the language in many years and we therefore wondered if it might see a more rapid adoption.

  • What's Your Technology Stack to Create Mobile Apps?

    Since the impact of mobile applications is ubiquitous in the whole it industry, there are numerous ways to create an app. In this community-driven research initiative, we are examining the importance and adoption level of different tools and toolstacks to create a mobile application.

  • What CI Server Do You Use?

    Continuous Integration (CI) is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently - usually each person integrates at least daily - leading to multiple integrations per day. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible.

  • 30 Most Popular 3rd-Party Controls for .NET Applications

    .NET components not only enhance productivity but also enable developers to build applications with intuitive user interfaces. InfoQ wants to know which third party component is popular and widely used among developers for the development of ASP.NET, AJAX, MVC and Windows based applications.

  • Hadoop ecosystem capabilities: What to add next?

    The last 5 years the Hadoop ecosystem has expanded rapidly to satisfy for various production needs. Most recently a number of real-time workloads and tools have been brought to this new generation data processing and management platform.

  • Τrends of different Big Data Solutions

    Various Hadoop-based solutions for a new generation of data management have disrupted the market of traditional data processing and management systems in recent years. There is no longer a question on whether enterprises need a big data strategy - it has become a fact! But the questions remains - when and how to migrate?

  • Software Development Trends for 2014

    2014's lurking around the corner: what technologies will take off and have a major impact, which of the fashions and fads of 2013 will become important trends and game changers in 2014.

  • How do you document your APIs?

    Well documented APIs enhance the experience for developers and have become an essential requirement for defining an API's success. As a result, there are a variety of tools targeted at API producers to automate the process of generating richer documents that reduces costs and time and dramatically improves developer adoption.

  • How Do You Access Your Relational Data from Java?

    The Java language and platform offers a vast range of options when it comes to working with relational data, from raw JDBC to fully blown Object/Relational mapping (ORM) tools.

  • What Puzzles You Most About Functional Programming?

    With so much diversity, it’s hard to define the exact scope of what exactly functional programming is. Is it a question of how to design your program, that is, using functions as the primary abstraction? Or is it about programming with mathematical functions, meaning pure functions that do not have side effects? And what are those monads again?

  • What's Your Next Language on the Javascript Platform?

    JavaScript VMs are mature and ubiquitous - but what's the best language to write code for it? A long list of languages targeting JavaScript exists, but which one will you use for your next project?

  • Testing Tools for .NET Developers

    It often happens that the tools we rely on the most are also the most immature. We tolerate them because they fulfill an essential role. Other tools are really well designed, but aren’t important enough to justify the cost in time and money. And a rare few hit both marks. InfoQ wants to know which tools .NET testing tools you like to use and which you need to use.

  • Ruby On Rails State of Practice: Testing

    Rails developers can draw from a huge pool of libraries to build their applications. Dozends of options are available Just for templating: do you use ERB, HAML, SASS, or do you prefer a JavaScript approach with Backbone.js or Knockout.js? The possibilities are endless, so we want to find out what our readers are using, or planning to use in the future.

  • NoSQL Database Adoption Trends

    In this research survey on NoSQL database adoption trends, InfoQ would like to learn what NoSQL databases you are currently using or planning on using in your applications.

  • API Management Platforms Capabilities

    Every API program needs a set of capabilities to manage the technical and business aspects. The set of capabilities vary for each program based on the criteria for success but with this survey we want to find out which of them are most valued by API providers.
