Learn about the top test automation frameworks for testing iOS apps, including the benefits and advantages of each plus sample code. A huge number of mobile testing tools have been developed in recent years to support mobile development in response to the explosive growth of the mobile app and device market in recent years. When it comes to choosing what mobile test automation framework is right for you, there is a huge array of options, each with different strengths and weaknesses.

Before designing a holistic testing strategy for an application, the first question that comes to mind is which testing strategy to use. The two most important and widely used testing strategies are Unit testing and end-to-end testing. To decide which one to use, it’s important to understand their key differences. Unit testing is a testing strategy where we test individual units of the application code.

There has been widespread adoption of CI/CD tools to streamline software development and testing processes in recent years. 47% of DevOps teams say they have fully automated their testing journey in 2022, a feat most significant to enumerate the importance of automation to optimize resource usage. This trend has driven 35% of developers to release codes twice as fast, facilitating higher revenues and better effort utilization.

We discuss in detail how developers can reduce app size by compressing images, removing unused resources, and optimizing their APK and IPA files for different types of devices.

Routing is a crucial aspect of an app. Just like when you manage the application state or build the UI, you should give sufficient attention to optimizing the routing of your application. An optimized routing system helps users navigate your app and can handle the user state efficiently. go_Router is a declarative and minimal routing system built on top of Flutter’s Router API. go_router provides a convenient URL-based API to navigate between different screens.

Browser compatibility testing checklist? Website testing checklist? Or website QA testing checklist? Although the names vary, what stays common is that the need and importance of this checklist will define your site’s veritable success. Every year, more and more digital devices are launched, each with its specific combination of browsers, operating systems, and screen resolution. This makes the job of a tester infinitely more complex.

Flutter is an open-source tool designed to build fast and beautiful applications across multiple platforms. The Flutter SDK has been widely adopted for developing mobile applications, and many developers are learning Flutter every day. It is important to create content that can help them do this, and that’s the aim of this blog post! So, we’ve prepared a simple cheat sheet of different Flutter widgets (and in Flutter, everything is a widget!), which you can use to build your Flutter apps.

Hello everyone, Hope you are all doing well. We are aware that API testing is getting a lot of attention nowadays and we testers are more curious to explore it. But, often we felt lost in the middle of nowhere. It’s because of the lack of the basics. Before handling the API, you should know some basic stuff about that API. What type of API is that? What protocol is used by the API? Sounds interesting? Today we will learn about the types of APIs and the types of protocols used by the APIs.

Smartphones have revolutionized our lives, and you’re likely reading this on one. It’s hardly shocking to consider how pervasive mobile gadgets have become. Nearly half of people polled in a February 2021 survey conducted by L.Ceci via Statista spent five to six hours a day on their phones, not considering work-related smartphone use. Mobile devices handle more than half of all searches worldwide. Additionally, page speed is becoming a factor in mobile search engine rankings.

All software must be tested to ensure that it works as intended before being released to the public. Testing must be rigorous to ensure that users are satisfied with it and have no complaints. A bad review, or negative word of mouth, of your software, can hamper its success on the open market or mean that staff will not use the new software.

Mobile teams need to consider these four things to ensure they are measuring and managing code quality. Because at the end of the day, good code is clean and well-managed code.

Bitrise acquires Flare.Build. By adapting Flare.Build’s advanced caching and CDN technology to tools beyond Bazel, Bitrise can speed up feedback loops, iterate faster, and multiply app build performance by up to 10x.

State management is a very controversial topic in the Flutterverse, with many holding strong opinions on it. In the last few weeks, my Twitter feed has been overwhelmed with threads about state management, covering the entire spectrum of opinions, from GetX/BLoC/Riverpod fanatics on one side to a few rare enlightened ones on the other side who recommend not using any state management at all. While I personally enjoyed almost all of them, the impact on the Flutter community has been quite severe.

Google Chrome is the most popular web browser in the world. Chrome extensions are small programs that extend Chrome’s functionality. Google Chrome has a standardized API through which extensions can perform various tasks in the browser. In our daily lives, we use browser extensions for various tasks, like ad and tracker blocking, grammar correction, and translation. These extensions are made using JavaScript and use the Chrome extension API to interact with the browser.

This article is about mobile security tools and five recommended security tools for building secure mobile apps with automated testing.

In the simplest terms, a test environment is an interface (often a virtual environment) when software tests are executed. This includes the server required to power test infrastructure and hardware and software configurations to match specific projects and use cases; devices, browsers, operating systems, automation frameworks, network configuration, data, streaming implementation for testing over the cloud, etc.
