No matter what you’re coding, there’s always room to optimize your code and improve performance. This can be a painstaking process, and if you’re going over your code line by line you’d better cancel all your plans and forget about getting any sleep! Fortunately, there are better ways to examine and optimize your code. A JS profiler is an efficient tool to help you understand your code better – effectively finding, pinpointing and optimizing bottlenecks in your code.

It’s pretty impossible to be a modern company and not have a purpose statement. While purpose is ubiquitous, I’ve found that a compelling purpose can be illusive. It’s rare that companies have a clear sense of meaning that aligns and sustains their team. I gently offer that Testlio’s purpose is meaningful—and effective. In another life, I worked with SYPartners.

DreamFactory specialises in REST API generation for any number of database types however an underrepresented benefit is the ability to mount and manage any third party API via a HTTP service connector.

Data paves the way for every strategic move made by banks and insurance companies. Whether looking to create a new service, complying with regulations, or overhauling and re-engineering legacy operations, a massive data project is always central to the effort. For financial services businesses, the pace at which they can reshape and repurpose data has become a key determinant of their ability to predict market trends and meet client expectations.

Almost all software and web-based companies (SaaS, e-commerce, and more) that care about a bug-free user experience will eventually need a systematic and repeatable process to test their products. And for most software teams, the only way to feasibly accomplish testing fast enough that it doesn’t become a bottleneck in the software development lifecycle is to incorporate automation tools.

Today is a great day at Sauce Labs! We just announced that we’ve acquired Backtrace, a provider of best-in-class error monitoring solutions for software developers and engineers. Backtrace enables organizations to mitigate application risk and improve digital quality by empowering development teams to rapidly deploy code with confidence knowing that they can quickly identify and remediate bugs once in production.

As far as web test automation goes, Selenium is certainly the most popular toolset. That popularity is uncontested. A survey on test automation finding that 54% of the respondents were using Selenium might be surprising only in that the number is so low. Many of the alternatives to Selenium, Software-as-a-Service products that record and re-run entirely in the browser, still use the Selenium as the core driving technology.

We’ve upgraded our capabilities for tracking indirect integrations in Databox. All Zapier, Integromat, and Custom Token connections now enable Custom Date Ranges.

In this article, we will discuss the most useful and commonly used fastlane plugins that many developers use and love, and go through the things you should know about fastlane if you work in mobile development.
