We’ve released a new version of our load testing plugin for Jenkins CI. Load Testing CI/CD Plugin helps to run load tests automatically as a Post-build action and mark the build as PASSED, UNSTABLE or FAILED based on errors received during the test run and the average response time. Use the Post build actions and define your load test limits in order to mark the build UNSTABLE or FAILED.

Field testing is a critical step in the last phase of mobile testing. After all regression tests pass, testers would go into the real environment to verify an application’s usability and behavior. The purpose of field testing is to determine how an application works before releasing it to end-users. Therefore, teams test to see how end-users use the application beyond the initial frequent use, in a real-world scenario. Testing is carried out using mobile networks only.

Patients don’t spend much time with clinicians allowing them to collect data. Even most hospitalized patients only stay for a week or so. That’s why healthcare companies need to pull in external data as well. The data collected directly from patients is just a small sampling.

Deciding whether to run applications in containers or virtual machines used to entail analyzing which trade-offs you could accept in exchange for certain advantages. With Firecracker, we can leverage the benefits of both technologies. In this blog post, we are going to talk about why exactly Firecracker is setting the serverless computing world on fire and what you need to know about this emerging technology.

It’s a long tradition at Bitrise that we compile the biggest learnings from the previous year in our annual State of App Development blog post. your builds ran for 5,232,196 hours. That is also roughly the amount of time that has passed since the 12th birthday of Joan of Arc.

Retail businesses understand the value of demand forecasting—using their intuition, product and market experience, and seasonal patterns and cycles to plan for future demand. Beyond the need for forecasts that are as accurate as possible, modern retailers also face the challenge of being able to perform demand planning at scale.

In our latest guide covering the essentials and best practices for software development we are detailing some of the necessary basics that you need to know about unit testing before you get started. To explain examples, best practices and some of the top queries around unit testing we’ve invited contributors Nelson Ford, Founder and Principal Solutions Architect at Pilotcore Systems & Ryo Chikazawa, CEO of Autify to share their thoughts below.

Microapps are small applications designed to perform specific tasks. Many companies have leveraged the benefits of microapps because of the poor user experiences associated with monolithic enterprise apps and their overly burdensome features. As a result, microapps offers a suite of productivity improvements to many organisations and enhance the usability of large enterprise applications.

The amount of knowledge needed for application development has fallen rapidly over the last decade as more companies take advantage of no-code and low-code platforms. Today, citizen developers can build new business applications in graphics-based environments with drag-and-drop functionality. Instead of reaching out to IT professionals to improve functionality and solve business problems, they can use development tools made specifically for non-IT professionals.
