This month we have released one of our biggest UX updates since Bugfender 2, the new viewer. We are quite excited because we have been working on it over several months, we hope you like it!

Conditional Breakpoints and their variants, Exception and Symbolic Breakpoints are powerful tools for advanced debugging, applicable to both iOS and Android. We’ll explore them in this article. In the first post of our How to Debug from Zero series we learnt the basics of breakpoints. At this point, you should know how to add a new breakpoint and how to use the “step over”, “step in” and “step out” commands.

The answer to creating an inclusive data culture is in your hands. At Yellowfin, we firmly believe that organisations are far more successful when all their people engage with data. And whilst this has always been the goal of organisations on their journey to being “data-led”, the reality is most are still a long way off. For this to happen, all decision makers need access to insights, in a way that they can understand, not just the data analysts.

We've got a brand new mobile application coming now out and lots of people have been asking me what’s in it. To be honest, it's much easier to tell you what's not in it - and that’s dashboards and reports. I can hear you saying, ‘How can an analytics vendor have a mobile app with no dashboards or reports?’ But the truth is no one really uses a mobile app to view dashboards or reports. It's the wrong format for looking at a clunky dashboard or detailed report.

Welcome to the Bugfender summer newsletter. Over the past few months you may noticed a few improvements to Bugfender’s web app, if not, we’ve summarised them here and you should go and check them out. The machine learning algorithm, which solves problems without requiring detailed instructions, is one of the most exciting technologies on the planet.

Reactive programming is a programming technique for asynchronous applications that lets you structure your code based on “reaction” to data input changes instead of an imperative programming style where you have to poll or block and wait for changes to happen. If you’re not 100% familiar with ReactiveX (RxJava being the implementation for the JVM), perhaps you know Java Stream, which is a similar concept introduced in Java 8.

Meet Dominika Dronska, head of Digital at Abbey Road Studios where the Beatles recorded almost all their albums. Using Flutter, Abbey Road Studios have built the award-winning Topline app that lets musicians record their ideas on the go and share them with each other.

Ever since we started logging with Bugfender back in 2015, we’ve been working towards integration with Firebase, the app development platform created by Google. Firebase is famous for the breadth of its integration libraries and millions of people use the product around the world, drawn to its sleek UI and range of features.
