ML KIT & Its Feature Highlights

What is an ML Kit? ML Kit is a mobile SDK that brings Google’s machine learning to Android apps in easy to use format. Google announced the ML Kit in Google I/O 2018, it also became one of the interesting announcements for the mobile app development company. Various ML technologies, provided are Google Cloud Vision API, TensorFlow Lite, and the Android Neural Networks API together in a single SDK.

Feature Highlights ML Kit provides some awesome features that are available on device and cloud. Let’s take a look at these features. It takes some ML uses cases and decorates them in a beautiful API.

On device features – Text recognition – Face detection – Barcode scanning – Image labeling – Custom model inference

Cloud features – Text recognition – Image labeling – Landmark recognition

Text Recognition The issue of text detection in natural scene pictures is challenging because of the abandoned size, colour, background and alignment of the character. Text Recognition provides detection and recognition of textual information in videos, documents, images, and other sources.

ML Kit’s text recognition APIs allows you to recognize text in any Latin-based language. Text recognition can be an easy data entry for receipts, business cards. With the cloud-based Text recognition API, you can extract the text from any type of document and also keep track of the real-life objects.

For example, you can use text recognition to obtain the number of a credit card, license card, name of the credit card or license holder, and the date of expiry from the front of a card.

Face Detection Face detection is a process of detecting the face from the images. You can use this to identify key facial features and get the contours of faces. ML Kit’s Face Detection API has been designed to work on the device itself which makes it fast, accurate and proficient of identifying faces in real time.

Below are the features provided by face detection in ML Kit ~ Recognize and locate facial features Provide the coordinates of the ears, eyes,  nose, cheeks, and mouth of every face that was detected.

~ Get the outlines of facial features Easily extract the contours of identified faces and their eyes, eyebrows, lips, and nose.

~ Recognize facial expressions It determines a person is smiling and his eyes are open or close.

~ Track faces across video frames Get a detector for each individual person’s face that is detected. for example, do image manipulation on a particular person in a video stream.

~ Process video frames in real time Face detection is performed on the device and used in real-time applications, such as video manipulation.

Barcode scanning Barcode Scanning is done to interpret the data encoded in the barcodes. ML Kit barcode scanning is working on the device so it is easy to implement and make it work fast and accurate. Using the barcode scanning we will be able to encode the 2D barcode and also encode the data like wifi network credential.

Below are the features provided by face detection in ML kit ~ Reads most standard formats – Linear formats: Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, EAN-8, EAN-13, ITF, UPC-A, UPC-E – 2D formats: Aztec, Data Matrix, PDF417, QR Code

~ Automatic format detection It supports scanning for all supported barcode formats immediately, without having to mention the format you are looking for. Or, enhances the scanning speed by limiting the detector to only the formats you’re interested in.

~ Extracts structured data Structured data that is stored by using one of the supported 2D formats are automatically interpreted. The supported information types comprise of the URLs, contact details, calendar events, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS message prompts, ISBNs, WiFi connection information, geographic location, and AAMVA-standard driver information.

~ Works with any orientation Barcodes are identified and scanned regardless of their orientation: right-side-up, upside-down, or sideways.

Image Labeling ML Kit’s Image Labeling is an API and model that can identify items in an image, and provide information about those items in the form of labels. On-device APIs can process the data quickly without an internet connection. This is helpful if you don’t want to utilize the mobile data of your users and you need fast processing.

The on-cloud APIs provide much more compelling processing capabilities. Thanks to Google Cloud Platform’s ML technology, however, these APIs need the Internet connection to continue to work. In case you are using the Google Cloud Platform, after 1000 requests you will have to make payment.

Example, if you have a Facebook or Instagram account, you might be familiar with face recognition. As soon as a user uploads a photo, Facebook will instantly suggest tags of your friends. Besides the tagging feature, image recognition also does the content translation for visually impaired people with screen readers. It also helps to identify irrelevant or objectionable images.

Landmark Recognition ML Kit’s landmark recognition API can provide well-known landmark labels directly from image pixels. It helps people better understand and maintain their photo collections. This API recognizes the number of famous landmarks over the world including bridges, building, place of worship etc. Landmark recognition provides the information about the images such as place name, a region of the image, coordinate of landmark etc. Landmark recognition API is fast and accurate. This API is free for 1000 uses of this API per month.

Custom Model Interface The custom model interface of ML kit provides you features. You can easily host your TensorFlow Lite models with the help of Firebase or bundle them with your app. Using the custom model for hosting provides your user updates with the latest version. It reduces your app’s binary size and provides automatically downloading of new versions of your model. It can automatically manage multiple model resources.

Difference Between Marketing & Branding

Are you among those who think that marketing & branding is the same thing? Have you been doing your marketing thinking that you are doing the branding too of your company? Well, then let me tell you that you have got it all wrong, there is a whole lot of difference between the two. Branding is who you are and marketing is how you build it. Branding is strategic, while marketing is tactical. Let’s dig deeper into each of the two. As a digital marketing agency, you must know & be able to tell your clients the difference between the two.

What is Marketing? Marketing is the process used to build a connection between the customers & the company. There are many activities like advertising, selling, exploring, creating products based on the demand adding to the company’s profit. You can use a variety of strategies and platform to market your company’s products or services.

What is Branding? Before we jump to branding its pivotal to know what is a Brand? A brand is the name, logo, sign, or a slogan of your company that has impacted the human minds and leaves a print forever. It is what helps the consumers recognize your company when you sell or promote your products or services. Branding is doing activities that create that image or leave an imprint of your company on the consumers.

What makes a Brand? A brand is a brand because of many things. First and foremost the promises it makes and keeps. Secondly, the standards it maintains to keep it as a brand, and thirdly, the marketing team does not promote any product or service in a way the brand cannot fulfill. No false marketing tactics are used by a brand, they actually don’t need it.

Marketing & Branding Marketing is actively promoting a product or service, sending across the message to the targetted audience. You may use different ways of marketing. One such way could be having celebrities in the ads or using social media, but because of a celebrity it will not be a brand, he/she is only promoting it for you. A brand is bigger than marketing tactics you use to contribute to making it more known. After all, the marketing efforts what is left is the Brand. Marketing tactics you use is what prints the brand in the minds of the users. So, they aren’t similar at all.

A brand will ensure the loyalty of a customer to it, while marketing will push a customer to buy the product or services. But, whether you buy it or no will depend on what kind of a brand it is. When we go shopping when there is a heavy discount, we will look for discounts on the brand we use, because we trust its quality and more importantly we trust the brand. It is the brand that encourages you to buy something, marketing only pushes you towards it. This is the biggest difference between marketing & brand.

Major Differences ~ Where branding brings reputation, marketing increases sales. ~ Marketing is a set of activities done to bridge the gap between the customer & the company, while branding is a practice to naming a product in such a way that consumers connect to it and can recognize it every time they hear or see it. ~ You make a brand for the customers, but you do marketing for the company. ~ Marketing adds customers, while branding builds trust & customer loyalty. ~ Marketing promotes the value of the product, while branding creates the value. ~ Marketing targets potential customers, branding targets emotions.

Marketing activates buyers, Branding makes loyal customers All businesses run in the same way, because all need to sell, either their products or their services. What strategies they use to sell might differ from company to company, but their actions decide whether they have built or destroyed the brand. Every action or marketing activity carried out leads to either adding more loyal customers to the brand or cutting them off. If marketing is pushing the customers then branding is pulling the loyal customers towards it. Marketing plays a strong role in influencing customers to make the buying decision, while a brand influences the buying decision of the customer by leaving its impact on them.

According to OnBrand more than 70% of brand managers feel that building, an audience is more important than increased sales. This clearly states that both are different. One does marketing to increase sales, but if you have already built your audience means you are already a Brand and your marketing techniques will work perfectly fine.

Conclusion Branding & Marketing are two different things used for different purposes. Branding is used to make, communicate & deliver a promise made by the brand and is a long-term commitment. While marketing is used to communicate and connect with prospective customers who will have interest & benefit from the promise made by the brand. Marketing helps you to make a sale whereas a brand enhances the customers to buy the product because of the brand’s promise & reliability.

Being recognized as an online marketing agency in India we ensure to know the difference between the two. We know the value of a brand and hence we carry out our online marketing activities based on the requirement and popularity of your company. We work towards building your online presence and leaving a positive impact on your target audience.

Why Choose Swift Over Objective C?

Dedicating 6 years in improving & using the Objective-C, Apple finally decided to snap another challenge to developers. Again, iOS developers will have to learn this new programming language – Swift.

In this article, we are going to look at some points of Swift compared to Objective-C. If you know Objective-C (at least the basics) then this tutorial is best suited to you and want to see what the equivalents are in Swift.

So let’s get into it!

Swift Language is Easier than the Objective-C: ~ Objective-C has been created using two languages: C and Smalltalk. hence, Objective-C has such a complex, Verbus Syntax. ~ Objective-C obtains its object syntax from Smalltalk while Syntax for the non-objective operations is similarly as C. ~ While the Swift Language is an option to the Objective-C language, the Swift Language is defined as “Objective-C without the C”. ~ Swift is a comparatively a new programming language. Apple started to work on Swift in 2010 and published it to the public in 2014. In 2015, Swift graced open source. It rejects the Smalltalk and C heritage and has all the features that modern programming languages have: generics, high-ordered functions, type interfaces, Optionals.

Swift Support Modern Programming Language Features

Swift rejects the Smalltalk and C Heritages and has all the Features that Modern Programming languages have:

Generics Generics code allows you to write adaptable, reusable functions and types that can work with any type, subject to requirements that you specify.

Optionals Optionals are dominant features in Swift Language which come to resolve the intricacy of non-existing value.

Type Interface Type interface refers to the automatic detection of the data type of an expression in a Programming Languages.

High-Order Functions High Order Functions is a function that you can pass arguments of other functions.

The Following Some High-order functions is: ✓Map ✓Filter ✓Reduce ✓FlatMap ✓Chaining

Swift is Faster than the Objective-C ~ iOS development with Swift is much faster than in Objective-C. ~ The Swift usage of generics and higher_order functions results in cleaner, more reusable code. ~ Optionals and type interface resulted in the responsibility for the code safety being transferred from the programmer to the compilation. ~ Let programmers write some lines of code with the similar effect as in Objective-C. ~ This helps to make the development process faster.

Swift is Safer ~ Because of its Features – generics, optionals, and type interference – all the apps being developed in Swift are less likely to have bugs or crash than other apps developed in Objective-C. ~ To present an anticipated behaviour Swift triggers a runtime crease if a nil optional variable is used. This crash provides consistent behaviour, which eases the bug-fixing method because it limits the programmers in fixing those issue right away. ~ The Swift runtime crash will halt on the line of code where a nil optional variable is used. ~ This indicates the bug will be fixed sooner or bypassed completely in Swift code.

Apple is focused on Swift ~ Apple continually develops these languages and providing continuous support to the Community. In every WWDC there are a bunch of amazing technical talks about Swift; the time indicating that Swift should be taken seriously.

Swift is easier to read ~ Objective-C suffers all moles you expect from a language built on C. ~ But in the Swift falls the legacy conversations. Therefore, you no longer need semicolons to end lines or punctuation to encircle conditional expressions inside if/else statements. ~ The Result is Cleaner and a more expressive language with a simplified syntax and grammar.

Easy to Maintain Codes ~ Swift code almost follows natural English, in addition to other modern programming languages. ~ And then it also very easy to understand the code and then make the necessary changes simple in Swift.

Swift requires less Code ~ Swift decreases the amount of code required for repeated statements and string manipulation. In Objective-C, working with text strings is very tedious and demands many steps to combine two pieces of information. Swift embraces modern programming language features like adding two strings together with a “+” operator, that is missing in Objective-C. ~ The type system in Swift decreases the intricacy of code statements — as the compiler can understand the types. As an example, Objective-C needs programmers to remember special string tokens (%s, %d, %@) and implement a comma-separated list of variables to replace each token.

Version History of Swift ✓ Swift 1.1 ✓ Swift 1.2 ✓ Swift 2.0 ✓ Swift 3.0 ✓ Swift 4.0 ✓ Swift 4.1 ✓ Swift 4.2

~ In a short span of time, Apple has invented many versions of Swift. It has features that are an easier language and provides good features for developing an iOS app. ~ The Apple is regularly updating the Swift Language and making it more easy for us to use each day.

Third Party Library ~ In day-to-day many third-party libraries are converting in Swift rather than the Objective-C.

Your popularity will increase with your developer’s team ~ According to a 2017 Stack OverFlow Developers Survey, Swift is at the forefront of the most favoured programming language, while the Objective-C is the most dreaded one. ~ Swift syntax is easier to understand for the developer’s team, they can easily understand each other’s codes.

Swift Support Dynamic Libraries ~ Powerful libraries had never been supported on iOS until the launch of Swift and iOS 8, despite powerful libraries were supported on Mac for a long time. These dynamic libraries are external to the app are executable but have been included within the app bundle downloaded from the App Store. It decreases the original size of an app as it is loaded into memory since the external code is linked only when used. ~ As a result, the executable is smaller and, because the code is loaded only when it is needed, the startup time is usually faster.

Conclusion If you are looking for iOS development with Swift then you can get in touch with us and we will provide you with the best. You can also hire iOS developers from us for your projects. If you any queries you can also write back to us on info@9spl.com.

6 Hot Technology Trends to Look Forward in 2019

The business change will get speed in 2019 as ventures settle on the most basic choices about their advanced system. Mobile app development is hitting the sky, using these latest technologies will help to transform your business universally. Which technology will best suit your business, puts you in dilemma sometimes, these 6 trends will help you make better decisions.

1. Companies after the digitalized business moonshots In 2019, additional undertakings will make a wager with the organization duties to advanced business. It’s another sort of corporate race as organizations embrace these moonshot objectives. Hope to see a scope of advancement: new plans of action, new innovations, and even whole new organizations worked from computerized.

Undertakings should beat back obstruction from those following half breed conventional computerized procedures and inside contending specialty unit techniques — and bind together the whole business around a typical advanced program. Think of your ability, subsidizing, working model and official consideration for this program. Having bound together advanced technique between the business and IT is the best way to empty the specialized obligation that is keeping organizations away from investigating moonshot computerized activities.

2. Ventures adopt cutting-edge IoT stages As ventures delineate physical world to a knowledge-rich one, keen “things” will turn into the main impetus. Endeavours will begin to actualize cutting edge stages in 2019 that can scrutinize huge amounts of industry-explicit information gushing in from the internet of things (IoT) and utilize Artifical Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to discover innovative connections between’s information recently thought to be autonomous.

For instance, exactness drug takes information from new sources (Wifi-associated heart screens, wellness watches, wellbeing records, the human genome) and incorporates it with conventional sources (blood science, dietary data). Working with these different information sources of info will result in progressively exact judgments and treatment designs.

Independent driving is a case of the criticality of constant IoT information pipelines through investigation and into enhanced execution. There are a limitless number of irregular occasions that can happen when driving from indicating A point B. Information must be procured continuously and always inspected at the edge (at the vehicle) to execute on an occasion. The information can likewise be sent back to the production line (the centre stage) for handling with other information to find out about a specific course to enhance the constant investigation required for irregular occasions. Tesla gives a genuine model.

Tesla as the early adopter Tesla is a genuine case of the execution of a cutting-edge IoT stage. Tesla has the key favourable position of being established as a computerized association. It takes a gander at the vehicle as though it were a moving, information creating gadget — i.e., PC. Opening that information is the way to execution, dependability, operational proficiency, item structure and progressed examination prompting independent driving.

3. Activity at the edge disturbs the cloud In 2019 more applications and information will move to the edge, expecting ventures to oversee applications and information distinctively by means of what we call “the Matrix,” the unavoidable, canny data benefits that go past cloud.

Information “gravity” turns into an essential plan guideline for multi-idleness frameworks. Since information’s setting is much of the time nearby, the capacity to boost information’s esteem relies upon the local response time. Information gravity implies information collected sectionally; and with the enlarged size of data graphs, along with the analytics. This takes us back to the Matrix, which puts that clever communication — and us — nearer and nearer to the information.

Subsequently, the movements toward occasion driven applications and serverless models that enable little applications to keep running in lightweight conditions as close as the gadget in your pocket, on your wrist, retrofitted to your work area or outside your home on an arch. Also, truly, 5G remote will change the information gathering designs in troublesome ways.

4. Ventures enter a period of Information Enlightenment As undertakings move to astute activities, they are tested by expanding information landing volume (computerized slant 3) and information diagnostic multifaceted nature. The move to wise tasks implies responding quicker turns into an aggressive goal. Information esteem decays rapidly after some time; the esteem might be most elevated right when the information is made however much lower just seconds or minutes after the fact.

In this way, in 2019, deciphering wide and profound data into activities will turn into a centre competency. In this period of Information Enlightenment, organizations will comprehend their data environments better and realize what to improve, quicker, information-driven choices. ML devices will be the key for preparing frameworks and speeding reaction times. Ventures will understand it’s occasionally better to make a move dependent on a solid likelihood of being correct (e.g., 70%) than wait for being impeccable (100%). That implies focusing on how ML rules are constructed.

5. Undertakings upgrade client encounters in the midst of data privacy rules In 2019, protecting client’s information will constrain organizations to reexamine their computerized procedure as the full impacts of the General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR) set in. Inability to agree to GDPR will foil a venture’s capacity to lead business universally. Imaginative organizations will see this advanced pattern as a chance to convey better client encounters and to construct client trust and steadfastness.

Undertakings must have an unmistakable technique for overseeing client information and procedures. They should consider changes over their information scene, particularly in showcasing databases, request age frameworks and client relationship the board frameworks. Endeavours will likewise need to rethink their data environments with accomplices and providers, making protection driven data biological communities based on examination and security, as they intend to convey secure co-operation and predominant client encounters.

6. Endeavours start shutting their data centres The enterprise data centres have already started to fade away. In 2019 we hope to see a recognizable move of big business data centres outstanding tasks at hand to multi-occupant data centres in the public cloud. Data handling is turning into a utility, and clients (and their information) are broadly circulated. Open cloud suppliers are giving enormous transmission capacity and deliberately put data centres, and undertakings are moving to them for proficiency and to amplify their information’s esteem.

As a result, enterprise data centres will end up becoming virtual compartments in multi-inhabitant open mists and along these lines will be closed down aside from their centralized computer outstanding tasks at hand. Centralized outstanding burdens will move to specific data centres until they, as well, in the end, leave. We will see a great deal of “lift and move” in 2019, however, the pattern will happen throughout the following 3 to 5 years, as cloud relocation offers an approach to “worked for cloud” substitutions.

Closing Note Considering these six computerized patterns will guarantee that the undertaking’s advanced change venture keeps on being fruitful. If you are looking for development or services in any next-generation technologies like IoT, Big Data, Machine Learning, AR/VR, Chatbots, & Blockchain then you can contact us anytime.

SoapUI provides a unique solution to many problems posed to load test your functional automation testing. The various strategies available help in testing the AUT in many different ways and scenarios. The Statistics table provide statistics which are easy to understand and interpret. And Assertions check if the load test statistics are within specified limits. For Load testing API functional tests, SoapUI definitely seems a worthy option.

Automation with SoapUI – Part II

In the previous article Automation with SoapUI – Part I, we learned about various features of SoapUI for functionality testing of API services and automating test cases & creating Test Suites. However, the usage of SoapUI is not limited to Functional Testing. SoapUI has amazing abilities for non-functional testing like Performance Testing and Security Testing. One of the most important features of SoapUI for performance testing is that we can create complex functionality scenarios and then load test them. This helps test various business scenarios on different loads depending upon usage. In this blog, we will learn the various feature of SoapUI in the Performance Testing domain.

Performance Testing can be classified into various categories – 1. Load Testing – In Load Testing, the Application Under Test (AUT) is subjected to a higher load than its handling capability to test the behavior of the AUT. 2. Stress Testing – In Stress Testing, the AUT is exposed to much Higher loads than its handling capacity to test its breaking point. 3. Soak Testing – The AUT is continuously subjected to high loads for long durations, to test its reliability for higher loads. 4. Baseline Testing – Testing the AUT for the expected normal load, and check how the AUT behaves under normal load. 5. Scalability Load – AUT is subjected to rapid & sudden variations in loads to check AUT behaviour under peak loads.

A Load Test executes the parent Test Case repeatedly for a specific time with the required number of threads or virtual users. A load test can be added to a test case, by right-clicking the Test Case in the navigator panel and selecting New Load Test from the list menu. In the load test window, we can adjust various parameters like the Number of Threads, the Time Limit, Normal & Random Delay. Multiple Load Tests can be added to the Test cases and multiple load tests of multiple Test cases can be run in parallel to each other.Testing Strategies

We can also select the strategy for the load test from the given options. These Strategies allow us to change the number of threads during execution, which allows us to change load while the load test progresses. Thus we can monitor the results, and change the load on the AUT as the Load Test executes. The data collected for the load test is shown in the Load Test statistics table and is continuously updated as the load test is being executed. The collection and of statistic data is asynchronous and independent from the actual Load Test execution, not affecting the load test directly. Let us see the load testing strategies

1. Simple Strategy In this strategy, a specified number of threads are running with the specified delay between each run to simulate a real-life scenario for the AUT. Simple Strategy is the default strategy in SoapUI. It has two fields namely Test Delay for entering the delay time and Random field to enter random delay time. The Simple Strategy is commonly used for Baseline testing. It helps to test the basic performance of the AUT and check if there are any bad responses or embedded resource download issues. This strategy can also be used for soak testing and load testing.

2. Variance Strategy In this strategy, the load varies over time in a sawtooth manner. There are two fields available in this field. First is the Interval field, where we can enter the period in seconds for which the variance in load will take place. Second is the Variance, that is by how much the load needs to be varied. This strategy is good for testing AUT under rapid changes in peak loads.

3. Burst Strategy In Burst Strategy, a high number of threads are executed for a short time to simulate a burst in web traffic. This strategy is used to test the recovery period of the AUT after it breaks for the unusually high load due to the Burst load. There are two fields in Burst mode namely Burst Delay, where we can enter the period for which the Burst load is to be delayed. Another field is Burst Duration, where we enter the period for which the high load is applied to the AUT. 4. Thread Strategy In this strategy, you can increase load linearly while the execution of the load test is on. Its main purpose is to identify on which level, statistics begin to deviate from normal behaviour and certain errors are occurring. There are two fields, Starts Threads and End Threads, where we can enter the number of the thread to start with and the number of threads to end with respectively. Test Statistics: In the Statistics table, we can see all the statistics related to the load test executed. There are various statistical parameters like CNT, TPS, BPS, error and many more to determine the result of the test and form a detailed report of the performance of the test case.For better visualization of test results, SoapUI provides two graphs showing results of the load test in graphical form. ~ The Statistics Graph shows all relevant statistics for a selected step or the entire test case over time, allowing you to see how values change when you increase the number of threads. ~ The Statistics History Graph shows a selected statistic value for all steps allowing you to compare them and see if the distribution of any value between test steps changes over time. – Assertions Similar to functional assertions in Test Steps of a Test Case to validate the results, we can add Load Test assertions to a Load Test to check both performance and functionality during the execution of the LoadTest. The assertions are continuously applied to Load Test and can fail the Load Test just like their functional counterpart. The assertions which you can add to load test are as follows – 1. Step Average – Asserts that the average value of a Test Step or Test Case doesn’t exceed the specified limit. If the average goes above the value, it fails the load test. 2. Step TPS – Asserts the Transaction per Second (TPS) value for the corresponding Test Step or Test Case. If the TPS is less than specified, the load test is failed by this assertion. 3. Step Maximum – Asserts the maximum value for the corresponding Test Step or Test Case. If it exceeds the specified Max Time, the assertion is failed. 4. Step Status – Checks the errors occurring for the specified number of executing requests does not exceed the specified error limit, else the assertion is failed. 5. Max Errors – Checks that the number of failures for the Test Step or Test Case does not exceed the configured Max Absolute Errors and/or Max Relative Errors value.When execution of the Load Test, assertion failures are displayed in the Load Test Log. Double-clicking a log entry displays the corresponding result, allowing you to view the failed request message.

Conclusion SoapUI provides a unique solution to many problems posed to load test your functional automation testing. The various strategies available help in testing the AUT in many different ways and scenarios. The Statistics table provide statistics which are easy to understand and interpret. And Assertions check if the load test statistics are within specified limits. For Load testing API functional tests, SoapUI definitely seems a worthy option.

VUE.JS & Its Features

Nowadays, Application of software development is one of the most popular businesses being practised both at the individual as well as enterprise levels. Various tools and techniques are being used by the developers for launching successful applications. Many software technologies are also being used by the developers to make the applications faster, more attractive and user-friendly among them. Vue.js is one of those new software technologies that are being widely used all over the world for web development. Vue.js is simply a JavaScript framework with various optional tools for building user interfaces.

In the age of new javascript frameworks that are component-driven, Vue is distinct by its simplicity and performance. It mainly focuses on the view layer and offers a lot of functionality for the view layer and used for building powerful single-page web apps. Vue.js uses JavaScript ES5 or ES6 while Laravel provides a core library for Vue.js. The ecosystem is vibrant, with more and more people switching to Vue every day.

Vue is called as Progressive JavaScript framework with various features for building user interfaces.

~ Virtual DOM Vue.js utilizes virtual DOM. Virtual DOM is, essentially, a clone of the principal DOM element absorbs every change intended for the DOM and is present in the form of JavaScript data structures. The changes made to the JavaScript data structures are compared with the original data structure. Only the final changes will reflect in the real DOM, which viewers will be able to see. This is a creative method, cost-effective and the changes can be done quickly.

~ Data Binding This feature helps manipulate or assign values to HTML attributes, change the style, assign classes with the help of a binding directive called v-bind available with VueJS.

~ CSS Transitions and Animations This feature provides several methods to apply a transition to HTML elements when they are added, updated or removed from the DOM. It has a built-in transition component that wraps the element responsible for returning transition effect. Developers can with no trouble to add 3rd party animation libraries and make the user experience more interactive.

~ Template As already mentioned above, It offers HTML-based templates that bind the DOM with the Vue.js instance data. It compiles the templates into virtual DOM Render functions. A web developer can use the template of the render functions and they can replace the template with the render function.

~ Computed Properties A computed property is one of the important features of Vue.js. It helps to listen to the changes made to the UI elements and performs the necessary logic so there is no need for additional coding for this.

Use a computed property when we want to work on mutate a property that is dependent upon another property being changed. Computed properties are mainly dependent on other data properties.

Any change to the dependent properties will also trigger the logic for the computed property. Computed properties are cached based on their dependencies so they will only rerun if any dependency changes.

~ Watchers Watchers are applied to data that will frequently change. For example, form input elements. Here, a developer doesn’t need to do any additional events. Watcher takes care of handling any data changes and also make the code simple and fast.

There are three main ways to have components make use of Vue.js’s reactive nature. These are Methods, Computed Properties, and Watchers.

Use watchers when we want to perform some logic as a result of a change that took place on a specific data property. This is most useful when you want to perform the asynchronous or expensive operation in response to changing data.

~ Methods Methods are used when we want to change a component’s state or when an event has occurred that isn’t necessarily related to the instance data being mutated. Methods can take arguments but do not keep records of any dependencies.

This creates some difference within the component. Methods will be triggered each and every time when the component is reloaded.

~ Complexity Vue.js is simpler in terms of both API as well as design. A web developer can build simple applications in a single day.

~ Flexibility and Modularity It is a flexible, modular replacement to it. If you are among those who don’t find it interesting to code every single part of the app’s interface, then you can use Vue.js web-pack template as it does not restrict access to its advanced feature set like hot module reloading, CSS extraction, linting, etc. It is flexible to add any third party package in vue.js.

~ Runtime Performance When we look towards runtime performance, Vue.js has the definite edge as it abstains from e dirty checking. Vue.js clear dependency-tracking observation system with synchronized queueing ensures changes trigger individualistically.

~ Directives vs Components Vue.js has a reflective distinction between the roles of directives and components. Here Directives encapsulate DOM manipulations, While Components are self-sufficient elements with their own view and data logic.

~ Optimization Vue.js tracks component dependencies during render. This results in that the system already knows which components require re-render when the form changes, which does not. Each component will be able to call shouldComponentUpdate to avoid any kind of nested component warnings.

The benefits of Vue.Js are its simplicity & ease of learning. This presents Vue.JS as an ideal choice for startups, SMEs or any development organization that wants to quickly design high-performance web applications with an easy-to-read code.

Summary Vue.js is an excellent tool for web development interface. It gained its popularity since 2016 after Laravel started using it for its projects. Research on the related developments of the framework illustrates that it is the best solution for small and medium products development. 9series is an emerging vue.js development company and has plenty of experience working with different JS Frameworks and we can tell you that we really like Vue.js and it is here to stay.

SoapUI is one of the leading open source cross-platform Automation API Testing tool. 

[blog-9series-solution-blog]

Automation with SoapUI – Part I

The appearance of APIs (Application Programming Interface) and communication protocols like SOAP and REST took software development into an altogether different level. It became relatively easy to integrate completely different services and develop more powerful and useful softwares. APIs became an important part of software development and also one on which the entire software are sometime depended on. This led to the developers and more specifically, testers, to focus on making APIs more reliable and bug free as much as possible. API Testing today, is an integral part of the testing process. The APIs must be tested thoroughly by integrating them with others APIs to check the combine response of entire user cases, before they are implemented in the software to avoid bug multiplication. This is where API Test Automation comes into the picture.

API test automation helps reveal integration issues across the entire chain of services or systems, thus preventing number of bugs and issues, not to mention the time and efforts required to fix the issues after bug leakage. Even a small change in an API will give a different response, and will be detected by automating API testing.

SoapUI is one of the leading open source cross-platform API Testing tool. Testers can execute various automated functional, regression, compliance, and load tests on SoapUI. SoapUI interface is one of the simplest, enabling both developers and testers users to test seamlessly. Let us discuss some of the most helpful features of SoapUI.

Drag and Drop Test Creation SoapUI provides a great user interface for test creation using the drag and drop feature. For creating test cases, there is no need to code or script, one can simple drag the and drop the API requests in the project to test case without any hassle. So, it is equally easy for developers as well as QA engineers to create complex test cases and test suites.

This features increases productivity and saves times & efforts needed to write test cases using coding or scripting.

Assertions While automating API test cases, you need to verify if the response received is as expected. While it may be difficult and exhausting to verify the responses of each and every API in each and every test cases & suites manually, but it is necessary. To avoid this exhaustive process, SoapUI has Assertions. You add assertions to test cases to validate their responses while they are executed.

If the response does not matches the expected response mentioned in the assertion, the test case is failed and execution stops. This helps in validation of API responses in functional automation testing. You can add assertions for response codes, script assertion, property value assertion and many more.

Correlation For creating complex business logic scenarios and workflows, data from responses of APIs needs to be used as request body for other API. To correlate these data, SoapUI provides a Property Transfer step to save these values in properties (similar to variables) at various levels like Test Suite level, Test cases level, etc. These properties can be referred anywhere within an API request depending upon its scope of declaration level. A property at Test Suite level can be used in any test cases within the same test suites. Similarly, a property at Test Cases level can be used in the requests within the Test case.

Correlation can be used for passing values generated during run-time or execution of automated test cases.

Environment Developers and Testers need different environment to test API. Sometimes, both developers & testers need to run tests in different environment like staging, deployment, UAT (User Acceptance Testing) or production. SoapUI allows users to save multiple environments beforehand. User can adds different properties, database connections and services in different environment. User can change to different environment by just clicking on environment dropdown list and selecting the user defined environments. This allows user to save time by preventing tedious amount of efforts to change environments.

Scripting Although, SoapUI does not need scripting to write test cases and create test suites, it can be used extensively for creating powerful and complex assertions and to manipulate the behaviour of the test cases according to needed specification. Using Groovy language, you can write scripts for test cases. Scripts can be written using various ways –

1. Script TestSteps –  These steps will be executed when the test case in which it is included is run. 2. Setup and TearDown Scripts – These script steps are executed before and after a test case is run respectively. Setup script is executed before the test case, while TearDown script are executed after the test case is executed. 3. Script Assertion – User can create assertion for test case using Groovy scripts. This allows users to write more complex assertion making it more reliable.

Scripting also allows users to expand the scope of the properties dynamically, so that test cases out the current scope can access the properties within the scope.Many more scripting options are available in SoapUI Pro version.

Closing Note Automated API testing is important process of Quality Assurance of any mature software development company. SoapUI is a very powerful and valuable tool in the hands of developers and tester for functional, load, regression and integration testing. It allows QA engineers to work on the workflow and business logic level to test the functionality of the system under development. As the result, the stability of the system is regularly maintained to ensure its continuous operation during production and afterwards. There is a second blog in this series.

Design Powerful & Impactful “Coming Soon” Pages

“Coming soon pages are an amazing way for websites/products to engage and connect with users, even before the actual websites/products is published..”

When your product/websites are not quite there yet. You will need a few more days or weeks to finalize the details of what a bang-hit it will be. In the interval, you let your initial users know that something is coming soon, and they should wait for it completely. Just saying that through email, tweeting or texting about it are nice expressions, you can do it to catch the initial interest. So, using the “Coming Soon” page is a better idea.

A well designed “coming soon” page is a great teaser to catch the attention of potential users and make them look forward to the website’s launch.

Here are reasons why a “Coming Soon” page is important

~ The page “coming soon” is a lot better than the default message like “This domain has been sold” or “This domain is under construction”.

~ There is a good chance to collect email subscribers.

~ It allows the people to know well in advance. Once they get familiar with your project, it will be easier for them to support your efforts.

~ The published “Coming Soon” page will begin calculating your domain age. When you tinker with your website, it has already crawled by search engines.

~ If your landing page is cool enough it is likely to go viral and will be included in a different showcase.

A creative “Coming Soon” page should bring visitors a transparent understanding of what the website will be about. Unfortunately, nobody can clearly say if your page is good enough to knock the others in the competition.

Here are points to be considered while designing  a “Coming Soon” page:

A. Infographics Design

Infographics are attractive visual forms of performance, which are easy to read, understand and remember. If you are lucky enough, you have 2-3 seconds to draw the visitor’s attention and keep them on your page.

Not only should the information be disclosed interestingly or surprisingly, using appropriate graphical components can help make it a keeper.

B. Actual Visionary Design

This web design and development company’s “coming soon” page looks like a true infographic. I also say that he is quite a thinker. It will be delighted to work with a person who has created this sleek design.

C. Layout Design

It could be that such a design was created without the use of web developers by testing with designers or the general public. They have an analytical mind and generally do not pay attention to the product’s appearance, as in the following areas:

~ Colors

If it is critical for you that the combination of which looks perfectly good, use tools to check color combinations (there are many free tools available on the Web). Use the “Coming Soon” page and the same colors while creating the entire website.

~ Call-to-action:

This is a mandatory one but shouldn’t ask the viewers or customers to do many things at once. You need to keep it simple, asking them to leave their email address, or subscribe through a simple subscription form is simply an option. Keep the form in plain view.

~ Social Media Icons

Modern businesses must be social. You are expected to be found on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and more. In addition, if your “coming soon” page is attractive & worthy of their time, people will help you by advertising the page by sharing their social media networks.

D. Engage Customers & Their Emotions

Do you think people are run by logic? No not at all! The decisions we make or exceed are based on our emotions. Very few people will leave their email addresses the coming soon website, (which still do not exist and probably will never be launched), they will not do this if you have not been able to build the trust to give away the information and wait for your website to launch.

It’s not easy to engage your customers, you need to have the skill and a plan to get their attention. But, if you can use some works or ideas of your future website users, that would be great!

E. Be Generous In Design

If you have something to share with people, do that! People like free things and various specialized things. It is up to you to share what goods or services you would like to give away as freebies for an email subscription: eBooks, Frequy Packs, Premium Data Basics Access etc.

It would be good if your potential customers and readers think a little bit about what they really need to do. Give them what they want.

F. Create Curiosity

Curiosity, Curiosity, Curiosity This is the thing that kills both cats and humans. Without any introduction you can do some viral marketing properly by designing a “coming soon” page, but it can be an interesting graphic or an icon.

It is better to place a contact or subscription form in a page, because we can not easily bookmark the site without knowing anything. And if you promise that you do not spam it will be better.

Conclusion

Simple, creative and informative “Coming Soon” is the success of the page design. When you keep these golden rules for all of these golden sites, try to get something from the users or offer something that definitely makes a buzz before the websites/product starts. To have a good design you must have the best UI/UX designer to create an attractive and artistic page for your business.

Introduction This is the 1st blog in the series in which we are going to discuss the attrition in an organization. An organization is built with teams and the team’s growth is dependent on each employee, but when an employee quits the job, it can disturb a team’s dynamics. Other team members may find themselves scrambled to cover the extra work for weeks, or even for months until a new candidate gets hired. Hence, it becomes important for any organization to work towards retaining the key employees.

Reasons Employees Want to Leave Their Jobs Here are some very common reasons that make an employee leave the job based on certain statistics we have collated the best information from various survey & studies to give you a clear picture of where an organization can go wrong and what causes employees to resign.

~ The job wasn’t what they’d expected ~ Lack of coaching or feedback ~ They didn’t get along with the boss ~ Lack of opportunity for career advancement ~ They didn’t feel supported or appreciated ~ They weren’t getting paid enough

The job wasn’t what they’d expected

Research Says 86 Percent of Employees Quit Within the First Six Months, and the primary reason for that is immediate supervisor does not mentor a new employee. If the hiring manager unable to communicate frequently with the new employee about their roles and responsibility that during the first few months, an employee will get disengaged.

The other core reason behind this is either they were misled by hiring managers or candidate did not understand the expectation of the job – like when an employer suddenly switches your boss on you. Leigh Branham calls it in his book: The 7 Hidden Reasons Employee Leave: How to Recognize the Subtle and Act Before It’s Too Late.

Lack of coaching or feedback Every employee often wants to know about how they are doing and there is no surprise in this. What is their expertise? What are the areas of improvement? What they need to do to grow in the organization?

If they get little or no feedback at work Seven out of ten workers in United States, are reported feeling actively disengaged. On the other side, the company who often provide feedback have a lower attrition ratio than the organization that doesn’t.

They didn’t get along with the boss One of the main reasons for employee attrition is that employees are leaving their Managers precisely and not the job. A poll of more than 1 million employed U.S workers surveyed by Gallup stated that the most common reason for people quitting their jobs is the immediate manager. 75% of workers who left jobs did so because of their bosses and no the position.

There are innumerable situations when an employee must have faced trouble working along with their immediate boss. Maybe they are not comfortable coming up with questions or concerns, or maybe their supervisor won’t discuss their issues.

Whatsoever the reason, the key point is that there is has to be a connection between the Manager and employee. It is the managers duty to make the atmosphere comfortable for them and discuss their goals. Some 54% of US workers are reported they felt most comfortable approaching their manager for their queries and concerns, and they are actively engaged at work. The ration quickly falls to 24% for those who gave the highest rating.

In another study of 7,712 U.S. adults, by Gallup respondents were asked to rate their manager on specific behaviors related to communication, performance management, and strengths. The final result stated that the ratings on these behaviors “strongly link to employee engagement and give organizations better insights into developing their managers and raising the overall level of performance of the business.”

Lack of opportunity for career advancement In a write-up, Inc. mentioned that 32% of employees might have left the job due to career advancement and promotional opportunities.

Most of us would agree to keep our most efficient and top performing employees in the same role for a longer time, but let’s be realistic here, this will not be acceptable by the employee. If, as an organization we cannot provide them with opportunities that will help them to grow, then when they find a company that is ready to provide them with this growth and new opportunities, they will surely quit. Everyone is looking for a job that will provide them with growth and better rewards.

Similarly, when an employee holding a higher level of education is not valued he will definitely look for opportunities. So, the higher the level of education an employee has, the more chances are there they’ll seek additional assignments that will challenge them to grow.

They didn’t feel supported or appreciated Everyone would like to get appreciated. Feeling recognized at the workplace can be the hardest thing for a company to measure of its employee, but it’s also a most significant thing to gauge. A Whopping 66% of employees report that they do feel not appreciated at work.

How would you feel if not valued? It could be as simple as not being recognized for the job done well. It could be as obvious as being handled disrespectfully or being asked to work in the miserable environment. It could also be other reasons, more behind the scene, like unequal pay grade, job responsibility etc.

They weren’t getting paid enough Surprised!! You must be kidding yourself. It is one of the most prominent ways to make your employee feel that you care about them, by offering competitive wages.

In a survey done by Gallup it said that, “highly engaged employees ratio is 43%, who are more likely to perceive that they are compensated as per their ability to work, compared to little or highly disengaged employees 15% and 13% respectively.

Conclusion It is not easy for the Human Resource person to retain every employee that plans to leave, but to work on them to reduce the attrition rate is what become important for them. 9series is a popular mobile app development company and believes in employee satisfaction. They carry out a lot of activities for employee engagement and retention which will be discussed in the next blog.  In this blog we have discussed some of the reasons for employees quitting their jobs, in the next part of the blog we will discuss about various factors and ideas that will help to keep employees more engaged by overcoming these scenarios.

Stay Tuned to read the next blog in the series!. We will be back with Part II soon!
