I Google’d the word “reliable” the other day. At the top of the results page was a definition from the Oxford Languages dictionary. I started thinking, what’s “reliable”? I glanced at my mobile phone. I felt it was pretty reliable. I can make and receive calls, I play games, battery life is pretty decent, photos are amazing… But it’s kind of new, so maybe that doesn’t count. It’s not really reliable, the jury’s still out.

Financial services innovation continues to progress at a breakneck pace. For example, fintech developers can programmatically spin up accounts, move money, and issue and manage cards with Increase or embed financial services into their marketplace with Stripe – capabilities that were unimaginable just a few years ago.

Modern digital users have the patience level of a typical 5-year-old. Apps that incorporate software testing tools have one core objective to meet: not to make the first encounter with a glitchy UI and unusable functionalities. Software quality in software engineering is a general expectation business stakeholders have. Unfortunately, testing is also “sacrifice” for time to market, postponing the release date and rejecting builds last minute in the development process.

Customers are demanding new software products that are easily customizable and more functional and capable than the previous edition, which has presented DevOps with new hurdles. Customers desire these things in the present and at a low cost. In contrast to what they demand, software development has historically been beset by large expenditures and protracted development durations. Fortunately, service virtualization is making it simple and constraint-free for DevOps to satisfy customer demand.

Software testability measures how simple it is to test both the system as a whole and each individual component. Testability might mean different things for different members of the software development lifecycle. Remember how deeply frustrating it was to rewrite dozens of UI tests when a front-end developer made a small change that broke all the locators? Or the several restless nights spent fixing minor performance issues that aren't reproducible on the local machine?

In the 2018 WWDC talk, Tim Cook said, “We’re also happy to announce that this week we’re going to achieve another huge milestone. The money that developers have earned through the App Store will top $100 billion.” He further announced, “There are now 20 million registered developers on the App Store.” Although, this number might be way out of the ballpark considering that 2016 statistics showed just 2.8 million iOS application developers.

Data annotation is one of the principal factors in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). As technology is advancing at a fast pace, almost all industries will need to make use of data annotations to keep up with the trends. The use cases for data annotation and encompassing computer vision are enormous.
