Devlopment tales

Xcode 7 has introduced new UI testing features fully integrated into the IDE. I learned about the new APIs and how UI testing fits in with existing testing features in Xcode. Also got to see how to get started by recording your app, and how to efficiently craft and maintain UI tests. check this link introducing this API and UI testing tool in WWDC/2015 Though this tool is in beta stage, IT industry has taken this as a tool for future UI testing for apple apps and have started using it already. I came across another good article related to this. It summarizes the WWDC 2015 UI Testing talk and gives the detail of coming beta releases as well. Check it out here

When looking at the existing JavaScript solutions for building native iOS and Android apps, it's a fact that they're powerful and can extremely reduce the amount of application development time. On the other side it's also clear that they come with drawbacks and limitations. It depends heavily on a project's requirements and of course on the developer skills and sensibilities. App performance and UI responsiveness are the main aspects when it comes to the question of using a JavaScript solution or not (native apps with a single C# code base can be realized with Xamarin). It should be clear that WebView wrapper approaches will never reach native-quality UI performance. So developers should start with a proof of concept when choosing a HTML-based WebView solution: mastering dynamic data and optimizing form controls are non-trivial tasks. The Mobile App Framework Matrix represents a comparison and documentation of current technologies for building native iOS and A...
