I am a software engineer and part of a team at Mobi Lab, a design agency. In Mobi Lab, we build successful digital products and augmented reality solutions for people on the go. In this post, I will share what we have learned about the importance of continuous integration and delivery (“CI/CD”) and how Codemagic improves our workflow and makes our clients happy.

Before we dive into the world of testing Cron jobs, let’s first know what they are.

In this article, which is based on my talk at VueConf Toronto 2023, we'll explore how to harness the power of Vue.js and micro frontends to create scalable, modular architectures that prioritize the developer experience. We'll unveil practical strategies, best practices, and real-world use cases that empower developers to build robust, maintainable applications without compromising on agility.

Many developers are being forced to replace their outdated, monolithic development methods with a more simplified procedure in order to produce faster, more dependable, and more accurate development cycles. Teams have implemented a continuous integration and continuous delivery strategy (CI/CD) for their software delivery pipelines to reach true agility.

Service virtualization vs. mocking vs. stubs (or test doubles/fake APIs)–In Part 2 of our series, learn the benefits, drawbacks, and when to use each.

In this blog post, we dive into the top five developer struggles associated with maintaining self-hosted CI/CD hardware, and present solutions offered by Bitrise.

Volume testing - also known as flood testing - examines the stability and response time of a system. Learn why it matters and how to get started.

Ruby on Rails has always been at the forefront of developer productivity, and building robust, highly interactive web applications has never been easier.
