The most flexible native mobile-app testing solution.” It’s a bold claim that we are making about the BitBar Real Device Cloud. One of the essential features of being the most flexible is being framework-agnostic. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at this term and see how QA teams and managers can benefit from such a platform. BitBar Cloud recently extended Flutter support to include Flutter 2.2 released by Google on May 18th, 2021.

A revolution is transforming organizations and it's driven by low-code. Using low-code, organizations can quickly build—even in only a few weeks—enterprise applications that would once have taken months to get off the ground. Forrester predicts that by the end of 2021, 75% of development shops will use low-code platforms (up from just 44% in 2020).[1] With that kind of momentum it’s no wonder the low-code market is exploding.

Enterprise mobile application development is a fundamental capability of the Appian Low-Code Automation Platform. Any application you build with Appian is instantly mobile-ready on all devices, without the additional hourly cost of using developer resources. With the flexibility of Appian Mobile, organizations can focus on creating native apps for a variety of use cases, such as completing field inspections or managing help desk tickets.

The best applications emerge when business users and developers work together. But that’s notoriously difficult on both sides. For business users, it’s hard to know what features you need until you see them coming to life. And for developers, it’s hard to build the perfect solution if you haven’t lived through the problem.

After more than a year of navigating the sudden impacts of COVID-19 on employees around the world, we’re beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Vaccination rates are up—with over 50% of American adults having received at least one dose—daily virus case totals have dramatically declined, and many organizations are putting large-scale return-to-work plans in motion.

I recently had the opportunity to attend and present at NRF’s Retail Converge Event. After a year of disruption, changing operations, and a new normaI for consumer behavior, several important topics came to the forefront for leading retailers. Here are my top five takeaways from the event: There is a heightened push to modernize supply chains.

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.

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.

It’s no secret that there has been massive disruption across global supply chains over the past year. In fact, 94% of Fortune 1000 companies have stated that they are facing supply chain disruptions from COVID-19. Many factors have conspired to drive disruption, leading to increased costs and delays for many industries and ultimately impacting the prices that companies and consumers pay for goods.
