At ELEKS, we run several R&D projects related to IoT, drones and other smart devices. Over the course of these projects, we discovered that there are some tasks that are common for different devices and platforms. Our team has substantial experience with complex enterprise solutions, so when our partners from Cisco Systems suggested that we […]

Why Data Science? More and more companies today understand that human capital is one of the key factors influencing an organization’s ability to function efficiently in the long run. Objectively, identifying and assessing an individual’s ability to succeed or fail with future professional challenges is not an easy task. There are different ways that companies […]

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.

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 […]
