Common media such as pictures, audio and video are now often not enough to instantly engage and thrill ever-demanding audiences. In search of ways of delivering an exceptional digital user experience, businesses have to resort to technically advanced methods such as 3D, virtual reality and augmented reality (AR). AR is a relatively versatile technology that […]
ELEKS is a software development company that began designing applications for wearables two years ago, when Google Glass was first released. Since then, ELEKS has worked with multiple wearables platforms, including Pebble, Android Wear, and the Apple Watch, and has designed 10 wearable apps. In ELEKS’ interview with Clutch, Matsekh described the process of designing […]
Being a member of the presale team for the last two years, I dealt with lots of testing projects. The solution that fitted most of them was Ranorex, an out-of-the-box tool for automated functional testing. Still, some projects fell out of scope, making us more creative with testing. When working on a project like this, […]
UPD November 2018: It has been four years since we reviewed the Xamarin platform as a mobile сross-platform tool and analysed the pros and cons Xamarin had at that time. We focused on two different use cases: Xamarin-based apps intended for use inside the enterprise environment (such as warehouse management and time tracking) and commercial mobile […]
It is sometimes really hard to understand people. First, everyone is saying “I don’t get smartwatches”, and the next minute 2 millions Apple Watches are sold in the first week. That’s more than the number of iPhones sold after launching. What the hell is going on? My misunderstanding is understandable, given that I’m a techie. […]
You probably have a mobile phone, a smart one. A computer? Yup, maybe a laptop and perhaps also a tablet, and a bunch of other devices that run on electricity. Annoyingly enough, all of them need charging. When you switch the charger of any device on, the electric grid load grows by 10-300W, and when […]
Thanks to techniques like automated testing and continuous integration, software can be developed at a high standard, easily packaged and deployed to test environments. Clearly, automated testing clings to an integral part of the software development process. But are we satisfied with our automation test results? Are they informative enough? Do we have to rerun […]
According to Juniper, fitness and activity trackers are dominating the wearables segment and will boss around at least until 2018. And it’s not surprising, since the health and fitness sector has been the first to offer a range of wearable devices at a good variety of prices and functionality already in early 2005 when Nike […]
In the era of digitalization, the main focus of software vendors has shifted to the optimization of the product delivery lifecycle process where testing gets exposed too. And it is because of the slow performance and excessive resource consumption that classical software testing approaches became inefficient. This gave us a huge drive towards finding a […]
Wearables will greatly influence our lives in the near future, and we at ELEKS strongly believe in it. By combining great engineering ideas, delightful design and fashion, they can provide extra data and value that were not available to people before. And companies understand this perfectly clear. Here’s what Google found out when they analysed […]
