You've forgotten to add frontend validation to number fields, and now people are getting an error when they enter text into those fields. However, this is an issue that's easily preventable-by implementing a proper test that checks for edge cases, but how do get started with software testing? Avoiding bugs in production is just one advantage of testing, it also helps you be more confident about your applications, opens up the potential for a full CI/CD pipeline, and much more. In this post, we'll introduce you to software testing, as well as provide pointers on how to move from beginner to advanced.
This month, both Flutter and Codemagic have an anniversary to celebrate! Flutter 1.0 was released in December 2018 at Flutter Live. At the same event, we launched Codemagic, the community’s favorite CI/CD tool for Flutter. This also marked the beginning of the ongoing partnership between the Flutter team and Nevercode, the company behind Codemagic CI/CD.
Xray is one of the most popular Jira apps for testing and QA. It enables test management natively within Jira so that software teams can seamlessly integrate quality management into their everyday workflows. You can easily link requirements to Xray test cases within Jira to keep tabs on all tests, know where tests went right/wrong, and bring focus to quality at scale. Together Katalon and Xray streamline test automation and test management efforts for agile teams and their CI/CD pipelines.
At Google I/O 2021, Google announced the next evolution of Material Design, Material You, along with Android 12. The Material Design system’s biggest overhaul yet brought redesigned components, new colors, a wide range of shapes, simplified typography, new elevation, better accessibility, and many other tweaks. With this update, Flutter apps can have a consistent design across multiple platforms.
Another year around the sun has passed, and Codemagic has already turned FOUR years old! Who remembers our launch in December 2018 at Flutter Live?! It feels like yesterday! We started out as a Flutter-specific CI/CD and then added support for other platforms, such as React Native, native iOS, native Android, Cordova, and Ionic. This year, we started supporting Unity CI/CD. We’re learning and growing year by year together with the community!
Last year, we introduced an easier way of distributing your app to users via the App Store. It simplified and automated publishing apps on App Store Connect with a few lines you could add to your codemagic.yaml file. This feature automated your iOS releases from start to finish and pushed the CI-verified builds straight to the App Store. We are excited to announce that we have simplified this process even further! Now, you can directly reference the API key and authenticate with App Store Connect!
Codemagic is a CI/CD (continuous integration and continuous delivery) tool that is best suited for mobile developers. It can help you speed up your release cycle, get actionable feedback faster, and forget about the pain of manually submitting your apps to stores. Codemagic is evolving fast: This year, we added M1 Mac mini build machines and changed our pricing so that everyone can afford to use the friendliest mobile DevOps tool on the market.
