To develop a &lt;a href="https://echoinnovateit.com/top-marijuana-apps-like-leafly/"&gt;marijuana application&lt;/a&gt; like Leafly, you have to consider some essential things. Let’s see an overview of how to make a marijuana application. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Provide accurate information
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is quite common that different people from different parts of the world have their own needs and requirements in the weeds and cannabis. Some people use weed and cannabis for recreational purposes, while some others utilize them for medical purposes. Whenever you are going to develop a marijuana application like Leafly, it should have a wide range of strains for different needs and requirements. It is necessary to provide a strain based on laboratory reports, feelings, and customer reviews. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You have to develop a marijuana application that keeps your customers with the latest information about the weeds and cannabis news. You can provide detailed information about the medical behind the marijuana, and legalization updates involved in the cannabis content. You can also provide the procedures to use the weeds and cannabis in the form of tutorial videos or written documents. The success rate of the marijuana application depends on the knowledge and to purchase the weeds and cannabis. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Incorporate blockchain and cryptocurrency
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever you are going to &lt;a href="https://www.credencys.com/blog/mobile-app-development-lifecycle/"&gt;develop an application&lt;/a&gt;, it is necessary to pay more attention to safety and security features and options. Plenty of marijuana Applications available in the digital world is paying more attention to blockchain and cryptocurrency technology. The main reason for using blockchain technology and cryptocurrency is because of their safer transaction systems. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever you are using a blockchain for your marijuana application, you are able to provide alternate options for the transactions. The traditional and old banking systems overcome blockchain technology, and it provides detailed information about the transaction details. In addition to this, whenever you are using advanced transaction technology, the cybercrime criminals and hackers will not enter into your network system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Integrate advanced features
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever the customer is using a marijuana application, he/she will look for advanced features and options. You have to incorporate the following must-have features of your marijuana application. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The application should contain a wide range of weeds and cannabis strains.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The marijuana application is available with the filters and sorts for recreational and medical weeds and cannabis. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The application should contain information about flavors, strengths, and effects.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It should be available with different payment modes and push notifications features and options.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It should contain information about the local doctor’s prescription, clinics, and delivery services.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At last, the application should be available with the best offers and great deals for the customers. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Development approach
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In order to create an effective and reliable marijuana application, you have to consider the following development approaches. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1. Regulatory requirements
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In order to earn more revenue with marijuana applications, you have to pay attention to the regulatory requirements. Whenever you are not considering the regulatory requirements, you can’t reach the targeted people.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  2. Platform
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The next essential development approach is considering the platform. You can either develop the application either on a single platform or multiple platforms. Whenever you are going to develop a marijuana application, it is recommended to select the platform that supports website applications, android applications, and iOS applications. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  3. User profile

      <dc:creator>Credencys Solutions</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 03 Dec 2020 11:20:37 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/credencys/the-buyer-s-guide-how-to-choose-the-best-pim-solution-in-2020-and-beyond-i8j</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/credencys/the-buyer-s-guide-how-to-choose-the-best-pim-solution-in-2020-and-beyond-i8j</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Project Information Management, or PIM for short, is an important term to consider for all the entrepreneurs involved in the online product selling business. If done right, the PIM solutions can save the buyers as well as the business owner a lot of time and money. So, whenever a company is planning to start an eCommerce business, it is extremely important to search for the best PIM solution for it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What is PIM, and how it is important for an eCommerce business?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PIM solution is an important term to consider for almost every eCommerce industry. And if a company is not taking it seriously then the data and statistics state that it can be hazardous to the business. As it is clear that the products and the information about the products seem of utmost importance for a business, it is essential to manage the PIM flawlessly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The best PIM solution is the key thing to consider in an eCommerce business. These websites have the products as their key assets and it is important to let the buyers know about the products correctly. If the website somehow fails to do this, then a long list of consequences may get triggered.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How poor PIM can cost you as a business owner?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some surveys and stats show that the buyers often return the product if they don’t find the product as per the description or find some other fault in the quality of the product. Statistics also show that the company can lose sales up to 3.2% due to poorly done PIM, and this may make them lose the customers forever. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, the company’s sales can increase up to 400% and it can get the best response from the customers by choosing to have the right strategy and implementation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a business owner, the poor PIM can hit you both financially and in market reputation. The poor product description somehow depicts that you don’t know much about the products listed on your website. However, by choosing the best PIM solution for your business, you can easily provide the customers with the right information about the product and let them decide whether they want to buy the product, or not. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With a reliably done PIM and other management systems, the eCommerce website or business can earn more profit and sales than a business that has a poorly managed product information management system. So, do the research, provide the users with the best and legit information about the products on your website and your business will be a great hit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Ways to select the best PIM solution for your business
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--oTomPc37--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/srq4g47ajwce19pq99ag.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--oTomPc37--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/srq4g47ajwce19pq99ag.jpg" alt="how_to_select_PIM_solution"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now, let’s talk about the best PIM solution for your business. Here are the few steps that can be opted by a business to achieve the faultless PIM and gain smooth business operation more than ever before. The better PIM involves three major steps, which are listed below. Take a look at them and then plan accordingly to improve your overall business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1. Data Onboarding
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The first step to build a proper and strong PIM system is to gather information about the products. For proper PIM, it is important to have proper communication with the suppliers and the products that are being supplied. Apart from using different sources to get information about the product, there is one more reliable way to get dependable information about the particular product. That is the supplier portal. The supplier portal can be an excellent way to get information that can be shared with the customers. As you are getting the information directly from the supplier of the product, you can be sure of getting it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For more transparency, an ideal PIM system should offer a supplier portal where the supplier can make the necessary changes about the product and the information that can be important for the buyers. Also, it will offer seamless information sharing between the client and the supplier.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Along with the supplies details and other important things, the supplier portal can also share the product catalog that can be an extremely useful step to get the right &lt;a href="https://www.credencys.com/product-information-management/"&gt;product information management&lt;/a&gt; system and better PIM. So, be sure to take the data onboarding step seriously and try to get the best and most legit information from the supplier’s end to get the desired benefits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  2. Data Management
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once the supplier and the other sources provide the data, it is time to manage it cleverly. It is a crucial step for picking the best PIM solution for your business. Easy flow of the information and better management is the key to a better PIM solution, and if you can achieve it, then there won’t be any issues to reach the new heights for the business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try getting the best information about the product then compile it for the potential customers. By this, the customer can get the required information and can easily decide whether he should buy the product, or not. So, be sure to have proper management of the product information and other data including the available products and the demand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  3. Data Distribution
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The last and the most important step for the PIM system is the data distribution. This is the final step for the PIM, and you must do this right. The website must show the correct information with the right product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is extremely important to connect with the eCommerce system and marketplace. Moreover, this is the point where the information is shared on a node basis. And if you are finding it hard to achieve, we will suggest hiring someone who has the expertise to work with the eCommerce platform.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Conclusion
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, if a company is looking for better business and repeat customer rate, it is essential to choose the best PIM solution. Try the above-listed strategies and get the best benefits and better results to enhance business and customer satisfaction. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Node.js vs Python: Which is the Best Technology to Develop Your Web App's Back End in 2020 and Beyond?</title>
      <dc:creator>Credencys Solutions</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 15 Jul 2020 10:15:39 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/credencys/node-js-vs-python-which-is-the-best-technology-to-develop-your-web-app-s-back-end-in-2020-and-beyond-3n69</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/credencys/node-js-vs-python-which-is-the-best-technology-to-develop-your-web-app-s-back-end-in-2020-and-beyond-3n69</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Summary: From this blog, you will know which is the best and go-to technology from Node.js vs Python for your web application’s back end in 2020 and beyond. We will discuss and give you a clear idea of these technologies and suggest to choose one that best meets the needs of your project. Shall we get started?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Make it work, make it right, make it fast.” - Kent Beck&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kent Beck said well that we need to make things work, make them right, and the most important one is, make them fast. This same goes for our web application development project. If we want to make our project work, then we have to make the right choice in technology so that we make our application run faster and smoother. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As we all know that every single web app development project has its own demands and requirements; however, it is important to choose the right technology to code it. When it comes to choosing the right technology, the two most demanding and talk of the town technologies that come in our mind are &lt;a href="https://www.credencys.com/blog/node-js-vs-python/"&gt;Node.js vs Python&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do you know which of these technologies is right for your project? How will you select one to make your project successful? Bit confused? Well, don’t worry because we are going to compare both these technologies and help you to choose one. But before we compare both these technologies in detail, let’s get to know the basics of Node.js and Python to give a clear idea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What is Node.js?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In a simple language, Node.js is an open-source server environment that is developed on Google Chrome’s JavaScript Engine. Developed by Ryan Dahl in the year 2009, it helps developers to build highly scalable, fast, and feature-rich web applications. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The latest version of this technology is v0.10.36, and it makes use of the non-blocking I/O model that helps developers to build lightweight, technologically advanced, and efficient apps that run on multiple devices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The best thing about this technology is, it offers a complete library of different JavaScript modules that ease the development of web apps. We hope that you have got a basic understanding of Node.js. Now, let’s understand what Python is and how it is useful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What is Python?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Talking about the most popular programming language of the time, Python is a general-purpose programming language that can be used to develop a variety of applications for web and mobile. Comes with high-level data structures, excellent binding, dynamic typing, Python is a perfect option for complex app development projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First introduced in the year 1991, Python is considered as an interpreted, interactive, and object-oriented programming language whereas Node.js is not a programming language, it is a runtime environment for JavaScript. Supports different modules and packages, Python motivates program modularity as well as reusing code. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the best things about this programming language is its wide collection of the standard library that is available in source form for all the major platforms. It can be distributed freely. So, we went through the basics of both these technologies, and now, we will compare both technologies and decide which one is the best for the web app’s back end development. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Shall we begin?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Node.js vs Python - A Comparative Analysis
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1. Speed and Performance
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The first point that we are going to consider and compare in both these technologies is speed and performance. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Node.js&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The speed and performance of the Node.js are excellent because the JavaScript code in Node.js is interpreted with the V8 engine that is the same engine used in the Chrome web browser. A large number of developers are devoted to Google to make V8 as fast as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another point is that Node.js has great and advanced tuning capabilities to boost the good performance and take it to the next level. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Comes with an event-driven non-blocking architecture, Node.js is powerful compared to Python to process different requests so developers are getting huge help at the time of accelerating the code execution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;To develop a faster, smoother, and rich performance giver application, Node.js is the best option because it utilizes a single mobile caching.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Python&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is said that Python is quite slower in terms of speed executive when it is compared to Node.js. It will not be the right choice for app development projects that demand complex calculations. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, it is also not suitable for the project that requires speed and good performance because Python is a single flow programming language that processes requests much more slowly. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The performance is not really up-to-the-mark when compared to Node.js as it requires more hardware resources to work at the desired speed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, if you are planning to develop a web application that demands speed, rich performance, and complex calculations, then don’t opt for Python. In this case, Node.js wins the situation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  2. Error (Exceptions) Handling Capability
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another point that we are going to consider and compare in both Python and Node.js is the error handling capability.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Node.js&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Generally, Node.js and Python both are considered good in dealing with errors and catching exceptions, but Node.js programming tools to area units are economical in handling errors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Node.js is not that bad in error management. In fact, it has excellent command in knowing exceptions that occur while writing the application code.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Python&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;In simple terms, Python is more powerful in troubleshooting the problems, errors, and bugs in the applications. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Python takes less time in solving the issues than Node.js as it has an upper hand in it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, error handling won’t be a problem when choosing Python for your web application development project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  3. Flexibility and Scalability
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The third point that we should consider is flexibility and the scalability of the technology. Scalability and flexibility are the abilities of an application to suffice the number of requests without compromising the performance and speed. These things play an important role when it comes to content-heavy apps and applications that have a number of users.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Node.js&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using Node.js for the backend of the web application, scalability can be achieved because this technology develops asynchronous architecture in a single thread. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The JavaScript-based technology, Node.js, feature ensures that smooth and seamless scalability and flexibility are achieved in the apps. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Python&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;To develop a flexible yet scalable application in Python, you need to enable multithreading. However, the Python language does not support multithreading as it makes use of the Global Interpreter Lock.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;As said Python has to utilize GIL even though it is badly affecting the performance because this programming language’s memory management is not thread-safe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another point is Python is a dynamically-typed programming language that is not a good option for the big projects that have an expanding development team. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this case, Nodejs wins that situation as it is more flexible and scalable when it comes to developing the backend of the web application. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  4. Libraries
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The fourth point that we need to consider in the mind is the number of libraries that these technologies offer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Node.js&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Discussing the Node.js libraries or we can say Node.js modules, they are simple or complex functionalities that are organized in a single or multiple JavaScript files to resume throughout the Node.js apps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Node.js libraries and packages are mainly handled by the Node Package Manager (NPM). it is considered as the most popular repository of software libraries. It is fast, easy-to-use, well-documented, and instant to access for developers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Python&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Python is popular for its wide collection of libraries with different functions and methods, allowing users to perform multiple actions without writing their own code.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Python libraries, modules, and packages are managed by “Pip install Python”. Its abbreviation is Pip that is quite fast, reliable, and instant to access. Thus, it is easy for developers to learn and use the libraries for app development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Comparing both the technologies for libraries and modules, Node.js and Python both stand equal as both the technologies have their own libraries with top features and functionalities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here, we went through the general comparison of Node.js vs Python, explaining to you which technology is best when it comes to developing web app’s backend. Still, if you have some general queries in mind related to Node.js vs Python, then continue reading the frequently asked questions that we have answered here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  FAQs
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1. Which is the faster Node.js vs Python?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answer:&lt;/strong&gt; When comparing both the technologies in terms of speed and performance, then Node.js is fast and more powerful than Python because it is based on Chrome’s V8 engine. In fact. Node.js is one of the fastest server-side solutions on the web.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  2. What are some of the best features of Node.js?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answer:&lt;/strong&gt; Here are some of the exclusive features of Node.js that make it a perfect option for web application development.&lt;/p&gt;

      <dc:creator>Credencys Solutions</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;DevOps. Have you ever come across this term earlier? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;These days, it becomes a buzzword across the organizations who are aspiring to tie up with the reliable IT outsourcing service providers for software development. DevOps has gained tremendous fame in the last five years by enabling companies to achieve scale.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Previously, agile practices were in demand for successful project execution and delivery. Well, DevOps does not replace Agile practices. But, it definitely provides extended support to complete the project effectively by establishing next level collaboration and communication amongst the businesses and software service providers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Let's start with what DevOps is all about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span&gt;What is DevOps?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The name itself suggests that it is something related to development and operations. DevOps provides a set of processes and philosophies that drive a cultural shift to an organization by promoting collaboration between the development and operations team. It contains dour key components such as collaboration, culture, practices, and tools. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;DevOps as a Service, a relatively new discipline, enables organizations to deliver high-quality software, improve time to market, boost productivity, reduce operational cost in order to serve their customers efficiently and stay competitive in the market. Moreover, it helps in a faster software release, unplanned work management, solve the critical issues quickly, and gaining trust &amp;amp; confidence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;For the effective collaboration amongst the development and operations teams, DevOps provides a variety of principles and practices. In this post, we are going to cover # best DevOps practices that one should not ignore. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span&gt;8 Best Practices That Every Enterprise Should Know Before Adopting DevOps as a Service&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;#1. Test Automation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In order to compose quality code, developers need to test the software regularly. DevOps allows for early testing that gives developers an opportunity to identify and resolve the issue during software development rather than later in the process. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Automated testings allow for quicker execution of SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) in comparison to manual testings. Test automation can be applied to the database and networking changes, middleware configurations, and code development using regression testing and load testing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Test automation can be accomplished by performing varied activities such as identifying test scenarios and cases, choosing the right set of tools for automation, setting up an appropriate test environment, running test cases and analyzing results.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;#2. Integrated Configuration Management&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Configuration and change management are integral parts of the operations. Configuration management is about automation, monitoring, management and maintenance of system-wide configurations that take place across networks, servers, application, storage, and other managed services. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Integrated configuration management enables the development teams with a bigger picture. It allows to utilize the existing services during the software development rather than investing time and efforts in reinventing the new services from scratch. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;#3. Integrated Change Management&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Change management is a process in which configurations are changed and redefined to meet the conditions of dynamic circumstances and new requirements. During the configuration management, if any changes are required then change management comes into the picture. The operations teams provide their inputs on what opportunities and consequences the change might expose at the wider level and what other systems could be impacted.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;#4. Continuous Integration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It is a DevOps software development practice where the development team regularly updates the code changes in the repository after which the automated builds and tests run. Continuous Integration practices allow developers to carry out integrations sooner and frequently. Whereas CI tools help them to detect the integration challenges in new and existing code and solve them at the earlier phase only. Thus, CI improves collaborations amongst the teams and ultimately builds a high-quality software product. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;#5. Continuous Delivery&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Continuous Delivery is a DevOps practice where the newly developed code is updated by developers, get tested by the QA team at the different stages by applying both automated and manual testings, and once the case passes all the testings, it gets into the production. It allows the development team to build, test and release the application faster and frequently, in short cycles. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It helps organizations to increase the number of deliveries, reduce manual works, minimize the risk of failure during production, and more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;#6. Continuous Deployment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The deployment process contains varied sub-processes such as code creation, testing, versioning, deployment, post-deployment, etc. In the continuous deployment process, the code is automatically deployed in the production environment once it successfully passes all the test cases in QA, UAT, and other environments. A lot of tools available that perform continuous deployment start from staging to production with minimum human intervention.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;#7. Application Monitoring&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;App infrastructure monitoring is very crucial to optimize the application performance, whether it is deployed on the cloud or local data center. If a bug hits the application during the release process, then it will be turned into the failure. So, it is very important for the development teams and operations teams to consider proactive monitoring and check the performance of the application. Various tools are available for application monitoring that offer a lot of metrics related to applications, infrastructure, sales, graphs, analytics, etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;#8. Automated Dashboards&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Leverage the DevOps intelligence with the automated dashboard. It will provide the data along with detailed insights and reports of every operation such as the number of tests run, tests’ durations, the number of failure and success in testing. It allows to review configuration changes made to the database and server and deployments that have taken place across the system.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The dashboard acts as a centralized hub that enables the operations team with real-time data insights which help them in selecting the right set of automation tools testings. Moreover, there are varied logs, graphs, and metrics that enable operations teams with a holistic view of changes happening in the system.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;Summing Up&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.credencys.com/devops-as-a-service/"&gt;DevOps as a service&lt;/a&gt; is a culture that most of the software development companies are aspiring for in order to deliver high-quality application by establishing transparency and open collaboration across development teams and operations teams. DevOps practices allow for incremental implementation so organizations do not need to make required changes and updates from the beginning. Following the above mentioned DevOps practices, IT service providers can ensure to develop and deliver robust software solutions that help companies to achieve their business object effectively.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Mobile UX: It Focuses More on User Engagement than Creativity </title>
      <dc:creator>Credencys Solutions</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 01 Apr 2019 05:37:39 +0000</pubDate>

      <description>

&lt;p&gt;These days mobile app design is not just about presenting creative and vibrant graphic art. No matter how attractive your visuals are but if the app doesn't address users’ expectations, it is worthless. when it comes to mobile app development, we have to consider two different design aspects to develop an app that appeals to the users’ sentiments. User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI). &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.credencys.com/mobile-application-development-services/"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--niNGgFi6--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/dqf0b0r6cc0w4xmhegx6.jpg" alt="mobile-ux"&gt; Mobile App Development Company &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All the graphics come under User Interface. UI helps users to communicate with the app through different design elements. It plays a major role in attracting the customers but what about engagement. Then, the term “User Experience” came into existence. In this post, you will get insights about the basics of mobile app UX design and what aspects you need to consider while creating a great UX. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt; What is UX? &lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;UX is all about enhancing the overall experience of the users while they interact with your mobile application. The ultimate aim of practicing in the UX process is to understand how customers feel about your mobile app. It involves a user’s perception, expectations, needs and desires from your mobile application. &lt;br&gt;
A good UX ensures that users understand how the app works, in one go. It makes sure users do not feel lost or frustrated while using the mobile app.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt; User Experience is All about People &lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before starting with user experience design, UX designers have to understand the behavior and interactions of targeted users while they use the app. To develop a successful mobile app, the UX must consist of a complete understanding of users motivation, goals, needs, wants, and desires. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Without understanding users’ perspective, UX designers cannot create an app that satisfies users’ expectations. UX design is quite dynamic and UX requirements always keep evolving as per the new technologies come into existence and users &lt;br&gt;
share their feedback about the app.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt; Different Facet of the User Experience &lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It was a time when user experience was defined based on an information architecture that contains three aspects such as content, context, and users. The expectation was to develop an app with high usability. But with the time, the UX concept has evolved and now it focuses on seven different aspects. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These qualities have to be considered by UX designers while designing a user journey of mobile apps adopting simple methods. Let's have a basic understanding of each aspect.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt; Useful &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Make sure the app addresses everyday challenges of users’ life. If it does not fill the gaps in users’ requirements, they will not use it. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt; Usable &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Create easy to use mobile apps with intuitive UI designs so that users can effortlessly perform their intended actions quickly and effectively. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt; Findable &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keep the mobile app navigation flow should be very simple so users can easily find what they need.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt; Credible &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Understand design elements that influence users trust and implement them in mobile apps so that customers can easily believe what you want to convey. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt; Accessible &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The mobile app should be accessible to all the users of your defined parameters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt; Desirable &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Create User Interface with the attractive and engaging graphic elements that should be extremely pleasing. Visually appealing design drives positive emotional attributions from your target audience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Valuable &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Along with delivering the great user experience to the end customers, the mobile application UX design must help companies boost the business bottom line and improve customer satisfaction.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;How to Create A Great UX Design? &lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All the successful mobile apps have one common thing, they provide benefits to the users. They resolve the issues that are not addressed previously. If the mobile app doesn't satisfy users’ expectations, they won't use it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you work with an experienced &lt;a href="https://www.credencys.com/agile-software-development-company/"&gt;agile software development company&lt;/a&gt;, you will have an amazing UX design for your mobile app. They have a pool of skilled UX designers who perform an extensive research process that involves a competitive analysis, defining user personas, developing MVP (Minimum Viable Product), POC (Proof of Concept) and creating a prototype to test market validity or feature validity. &lt;br&gt;
The UX designers create a great UX by considering below-mentioned aspects along with attractive UI design.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Familiarity &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Using familiar elements such as symbols, icons, buttons, call-to-actions, colors, etc. in the mobile app designing, you can easily convey a message to the users. Moreover, it will be helpful to users who use your app for the first time. Newbies can easily explore the different features of your app. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Clarity &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The user interface should contain simple and clear visuals and language to avoid any ambiguity and confusions. The best quality of a mobile app is, it does not require a manual to make users understand how to use the app. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Consistency &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keep your User Interface consistent across the mobile app that helps users to understand usage patterns. Once users learn how a few sections of your mobile app work, they can use this knowledge to explore other features and functionality. Thus, they can quickly make decisions and take the required actions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Responsiveness &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;User Interface should be designed in a way that provides quick response to user action. While a screen is loading enable users with information on what's happening, it increases users’ interest and engagement by offering knowledge about the app. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Gain Attention &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Design your mobile screens in such a way that the users’ eye is drawn where you want them to focus. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;“Undo” Actions &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Allows users to undo any of their action. Never destroy any data or information permanently from your users' accounts. You never know when they want to re-look into the old details. So in a safety net, you need to provide an option of undoing the actions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Aesthetics &lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Deliver pleasant user experience to the customers by creating an attractive and fully functional UI design for your mobile application. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Takeaways &lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;UX ensures the effectiveness of your mobile app UI by increasing the usability of it. Create a mobile app by understanding customer behavior and expectations. People may be drawn to your mobile app because of attractive visuals or graphical presentation, but they stick around for a while if the app helps them in achieving their ultimate goals. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Define a moneymaking strategy for your mobile application UX design where users feel that they are knowledgeably in control of what they do in the app while you are driving them behind the scene. A robust mobile UX design comprehends your business requirements and end users needs to increase your loyal customer base and sales. Brands can ensure users, customers and clients have positive experience and interactions by creating amazing mobile app UX design. &lt;/p&gt;
