Mobile DevOps is more than simply adopting a new set of tools and practices: it also comes with the need to adopt a completely different mindset, in the form of a cultural-organizational change. The approach is based on the Agile methodology, but takes its practices further: not only by getting other teams more involved, but by replacing function-based teams with product-, and project-oriented teams as well.

Creating content for your website is like decorating the interior of your new house, if you don’t get it right, you would have your visitors dissatisfied and see them leave! Whether it is business or life, time is of the essence and the biggest currency in modern times. So, how can you create unique content, coping up with your busy schedule and other projects? It is quite simple, and you can go mobile! How?

Xcode is excellent and got better over the years if it comes down to tests. Last WWDC 2019 brought us Test Plans, and earlier, we got features like code coverage and parallel testing.

Welcome to the winter Bugfender newsletter. We hope you’re feeling refreshed after the holidays. We’ve had a fair few updates in the last quarter that we’d love to share with you to kick start the New Year!

Whenever I meet an engineer and chat with him about Bugfender, one of the questions I get asked most often is: what does it take to build a log aggregation tool like Bugfender? What’s behind it? When processing millions of log lines per day for several thousand users, coming from millions of devices, good architecture is key to enabling uninterrupted high-speed processing and growing the platform as new users sign up.

In this post we’re going to talk about how to integrate Intercom into your mobile apps. The company offers both iOS and Android SDKs and you’ve probably used them before in your different products (we certainly use them in Bugfender).

When you start a new project, everything is very easy and agile. You can develop, commit code and publish new versions quickly, without much testing. You probably don’t have a QA team, your test data is similar to your production data and you don’t develop multiple features at the same time. But as the project grows, it starts to become more and more complex.

When Apple introduced SwiftUI back in July we immediately knew it was going to generate a lot of expectations. As app developers ourselves, we are very aware about the complexity of User Interface development in iOS. UI has been keeping apps especially expensive and error prone along the years. Many frameworks were created to improve this situation like ComponentKit, Texture or even React Native.

It’s nearly five years since we started Bugfender as an offshoot of our software company Mobile Jazz. We’d gotten tired of chasing users who were experiencing problems with our apps and wanted to build an internal remote logging tool that would feed the information straight to us. It really was a garage project back then. We were running code sprints on our own time, so we wouldn’t have to dig into our savings. But we soon realized this could be much more than an internal experiment.
