Test cases are important. But what is it? A test case is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine whether a system under test satisfies requirements or works correctly. The process of developing test cases can also help find problems in the requirements or design of an application. Irrespective of what approach you follow (TDD/ BDD), unit testing, integration testing and end-to-end testing are important.

If you’re an android developer and have published apps in the Google Play store, then creating and delivering an app is no-brainer for you. But imagine you aren’t a developer, and you have a fantastic idea for an app like Instagram or Whatsapp. You’ve already started designing the workflow and are motivated to start working on it, but now comes the difficult part: you have no knowledge of how to create the backend, let alone scale it to support a large number of users.

Imagine you are near your favorite restaurant or coffee shop and you receive a mobile coupon from them. Or you receive a notification that your child or pet is outside of specific area/region. Or you’re able to track a valuable piece of luggage that’s lost within the airport. How do all these examples work? Through the application of geofence and LBS (location-based services). Modern apps and products are becoming smarter by adding geofence intelligence, so let’s take a look a its applications and basic implementation.

App publishing automation can be a helpful step when creating apps. It’s one thing to develop an app, but it’s another to manage publishing it. App development can be fun, but unfortunately the process of publishing apps can be quite rudimentary and tedious. To remedy this, it’s worth considering automating the process to save both your sanity and your time. However, the automation process is not without its challenges. AUTOMATION OPPORTUNITY There are many situations where automation is beneficial: An individual developer with a handful of apps who needs to balance managing the publishing against developing code. A developer working for a client who has tens/hundreds of apps to be developed and published and needs to reduce the amount of manual grunt work. A single code base that churns out white labeled (branded) apps for tens/hundreds of customers and needs to automate the process.

WHAT ARE CHATBOTS? A chatbot is a service, powered by rules and sometimes artificial intelligence, that you interact with via a chat interface. The service could be any number of things, ranging from functional to fun, and it could live in any major chat product (Facebook Messenger, Slack, Telegram, Text Messages, etc.). Most chatbots learn from past conversations and don’t just answer questions about whether or not you need to bring an umbrella on your commute (though they can do that, too).

Crowdsourced QA services: benefit or detriment? Remember the chilling chant in the Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises”? Did you know that the chant was a product of a crowdsourcing exercise by the composer and musician, Hans Zimmer? Thousands of Batman fans in 107 countries around the world uploaded the chant in their own voices, which Zimmer then mixed together to build his massive worldwide choir for the final movie score. Nothing like movie bragging rights to get a fandom involved in crowdsourcing! Thus starts the topic: crowdsourced QA services…

Application security encompasses measures taken to improve the security of an application often by finding, fixing and preventing security vulnerabilities. Do you remember the game we use to play in childhood called “Ball in the Maze” where we had to use the balancing techniques to guide the ball to come to the center of the Maze? Most of us have played this game at some point in our lives. But what does this have to do with Application Security Testing? Today’s Application Security challenges are similar to this maze, and can help simplify understanding the importance of periodic testing.

It only took a few decades for a room-sized computer to fit into our pocket (and with more power). We’ve also quickly moved from software applications being installed on the computer, to applications being served through the cloud. And now, the need for physical servers is being replaced with virtualization. We’ll take a look at the Amazon Web Service (AWS) serverless offerings that have made it possible for developers to create and run API applications with virtually unlimited scalability and without managing any servers.

The substantial commitments and investments of big upfront projects have always also brought the risk of potentially not achieving the desired final product. However, the sharing economy is changing the way we work on those big projects and reducing risk. Thanks to the Lean experimental approach, Smart Contracts, and Blockchain.
