E-commerce applications have various business processes like online fund transfers, marketing, inventory management, supply chain management and more.

In order to develop an eCommerce website, we need to find out designs and features which are customer friendly. In addition to that, it is important that these features are properly working and doesn’t have any bug in it, to give the customer a nice and enjoyable experience thus e-commerce website testing is an essential part of the development of eCommerce website.

The eCommerce website testing requires knowledge of the web-based testing techniques. Not just that, the eCommerce website testers test their websites continuously. Moreover, testing is done in different browsers, different platforms, various combinations are tested and also testing occurs on devices like mobiles and iPad.

The e-commerce application testing ensures that all the pages of the website are thoroughly tested all the eCommerce transactions are secure and validated and the application can be now given to end users to use. To check the usability of the application, how user-friendly it is, make the application defect-free are the reason we perform testing on eCommerce application.

Maintain Quality Assurance standards are also a vital part of software development, so to see if our application complies to the quality assurance standards we perform testing.

Some common things which should be tested in eCommerce applications are:

1. TEST PLANNING

Test Planning is one of the early phases of Software Testing Life Cycle. A good planning is a key to a smooth execution phase, whereas, a bad planning can result in unnecessary time consumption. Hence, Test Case writing, resource assignment etc. are some of the activities that are performed as a part of Test Planning.

2. WEBSITE FUNCTIONALITY

First of all, we’ll run through the main functionality of an eCommerce website that needs to be tested. However, your website may not have all these items, or some may not include here. We should test

• Main pages (i.e.Home page, Featured Products, Special Offers, Information pages etc.)
• Product category pages
• Product detail pages
• Filtering & Product searching
• Shopping cart
• Checkout and Payment Systems

4. UI ELEMENTS

UI elements and content play an important role in the success of any eCommerce website and hence, you should actively get involved in ensuring the correctness of UI elements and content.

Think about your own user experience when you visit a website: Are you more likely to purchase if you can easily find what you’re looking for or if you have to click through 50 options?

One of the best and most proven ways to test is something called A/B testing. A/B testing is comparing two versions of a web page to see which one performs better. You compare two web pages by showing the two variants.

5. MOBILE RESPONSIVENESS

The website should respond properly to devices on which it is displayed and this is why testing mobile responsiveness is an essential part of the process.

If you wish your website to be used by visitors viewing it on their Smartphone or tablet then you also need to test all of the functionality on each of the following mobile devices.

Many of the browser testing tools can help with mobile websites like Appium, AppAssist, fast lane etc.

6. SECURE PAYMENTS & CUSTOMER INFORMATION

Payments are an essential part of testing eCommerce websites. After all, this is what allows users to purchase for their items without the need to call a number to place their order.

eCommerce business owners also have to ensure that all the payment and sensitive information regarding customers are completely secured at all times like all the payments are processed via servers that are SSL encrypted.

Different payment types should all be tested, e.g. Credit Card, PayPal, Bank Transfers, Installments, etc.

7. TESTING : KEEP IT REAL

It is advisable to test your eCommerce store in the real-world scenarios. However, the production environment is always different in terms of infrastructure, software configurations, shared networks and links. This is the reason the impact of the application is different in a real environment and devices than lab environment.

Lastly, acknowledge that continuous testing and monitoring is essential to make your e-commerce site grow Faster. Hope this helps and happy testing.

From the shocking launch of a new language to prominent similarities with other languages, it has been just 3 years and still, it looks like Swift has come a long way! Swift is getting popular each and every day. Any good iOS Swift developer hoping to start new iOS project would choose nothing but Swift language to begin with.

IOS SWIFT DEVELOPER

In order to save your time and make the transition easier and interesting, we have prepared a list of libraries that according to us every iOS Swift developer must know. If you are looking to hire iOS App Developer, get in touch with us.

1.) ALAMOFIRE

Almost every application nowadays deals with web service calls. API integration is the base for almost every application in today’s era. Alamofire is an HTTP networking library built on top of NSURLSession and the Foundation URL loading system. Alamofire comes to the great rescue when one wants to abstract away and simplify networking in the application.

2.) SWIFTYJSON

Well, the API integration part is done and one feels like that is it! Now only part left is to manage JSON and use the data from it. Is it that easy as it sounds? well, you’ll know! And then what saves us from handling explicit data types that cause bugs and crashes is SwiftyJSON. It really deals with JSON in a well readable way which handles options unwrapping automatically for us.

3.) OBJECTMAPPER

So, We made a successful call attempt to APIs and managed well to receive but what next?! Fetching data by mapping resource is another tedious job to handle. ObjectMapper helps us convert JSON into a model object and not just that but vice versa too! It supports nested object pretty well too.

4.) EUREKA

And when you just thought your job is easier, one more challenge arises when you have to display all the fetched data into table views. Not really difficult but boring to very high extent as it is one of the most used element. In order to spice it up, Eureka helps you write them in a simple and elegant way. It consists of rows, sections, and forms. It really saves abundant time especially when your application contains a plethora of forms.

5.) QUICK

A behavior drove development framework not just for Swift but for Objective-C too which is inspired by RSpec, Spectra and Ginkgo. One of the major benefits of using Quick is that it comes with Nimble which is a matcher framework for tests.

6.) SNAPKIT

Another latest approach to set UI for application is using Auto Layout. SnapKit is an Auto Layout library that simplifies coding for the same requiring nothing but just a minimal code that too without losing readability. It is type safe which comes at rescue in order to get rid of programming errors.

7.) RXSWIFT

RxSwift is nothing but the swift version of Rx and serves the same goal as to enable easy composition of asynchronous operations and event/data streams. Consequently, RxSwift is a framework for functional reactive programming.

8.) SPRING

Spring is an animation library. Be it inside of storyboard’s runtime attribute or through code, Spring helps one both ways to set an animation to an object. It supports number of already written animations, transitions and properties.

9.) CORESTORE

The main motive of CoreStore is to provide type safe and elegant interaction with Core Data. It is a wrapper library that provides APIs for all common methods to effectively interact with database.

10.) KINGFISHER

Kingfisher helps us download and cache images from the web. It does that all asynchronously. It caches downloaded images both in memory as well as disk in order to improve application experience to all new level.

What are your thoughts on the same, people? Do you know some library that deserves the place in this list? Please leave a comment and let us know.

PROS & CONS OF DEMONETIZATION

All those people who are panicked with this move by the government need not worry at all as the government has assured that Your money will be yours. You will not lose anything so there is no point in being scared. There will be no restrictions on non-cash payments by cheque, demand draft’s, and electronic fund transfer.

IMPACT OF DEMONETIZATION

Inflation: It will cause deflation in the market as people who have earned money through illegal ways would be afraid to declare the money as they may be prosecuted by the Income-tax department on the legitimacy of their income.

Reduction in Monetary Circulation: This will lead to the reduction of money circulation in the economy leading to deflation. The value of money will be increasing which we have because the total money supply will be going down but the commodities and things available in the market have not gone down. It will lead to inflation slowly but not overnight.

Cash Deposits in Banks: A lot of cash, which is legally earned, will be deposited in the banks and now the banks with more deposits will be able to do more lending.

Easy Loans: Loans will become easier and interest rates may come down. As banks will have more money so more loans will be given out which will increase the money supply in the market and it will create inflation.

ADVANTAGES

In the era of triple Ws, One will find a plethora of companies outsourcing to India irrespective of the region that country is in.

Not just that, but India accounts about 40% of the world outsourcing services. Moreover, The National Association of Software & Service Companies which we call NASSCOM too reportedly noted down that almost half of all fortune 500 companies choose to outsource software development to Indian firms.

INDIA ON THE WORLD MAP

With the world development; China, Mexico, Philippines etc have also emerged as few of the leading countries in the areas of outsourcing yet India has managed to stay as the top game player since forever.

LARGEST POSSIBLE TALENTS AND PROFESSIONALS UNDER ONE ROOF

Apart from being largest English speaking community across the globe, India also produces 1.3 million graduates every single year who are willing to provide high quality products for pretty lower rates compared to almost all the countries.

THE BIG BARGAIN THEORY

One more strong reason to outsource in India is because of the significant cost saving that a company can achieve. Cost of living in India is very low as compared to most of the developed countries which leads Indian developers to work for much much cheaper costs comparatively. As a part of example, one can find a good developer for $8 – $12 per hour which is not at all even nearby than this in US but a whooping $50 an hour minimum.

THE EXPANSION IN TECHNOLOGICAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE CAPABILITIES

Today, India has very strong 4G networks across the country as well as a very nice telecom, ISP and cellular networks not in just big cities but in smallest town, highway or on the top of the mountain. IT is always seen as the top most priority industry here and policies have been framed to obtain maximum benefit from it by India government. Not just that, Indian government also supports electronic contracts, bars cyber crime and e-filling of documents.

Considering Indian timezone ahead than the US leads one provide with a numerous opportunities for work to be completed earlier than expected, leading to greater efficiency and increased productivity.

Each of these stages gives answers for various arrangements of requirements, so as to settle on the right decision for your business, some essential inquiries that will help you comprehend your necessities in the fleeting and in addition the long haul.

13 THINGS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN STARTING AN ECOMMERCE BUSINESS

Best eCommerce Platform : Magento VS. OpenCart

In light of your answers, you can now start to kill alternatives and tighten them down to your favored one.

BEST ECOMMERCE PLATFORM MAGENTO VS. OPENCART – THE LIKENESSES

For the most part, Magento and OpenCart really have a considerable measure in like manner. They are both open source stages that are eventually intended to encourage eCommerce movement.

Both are created in PHP and use layouts to transfer items, so they can be kept up by non-software engineers. They are likewise rich in assets, for example, augmentations, add-on items, and modules that can without much of a stretch be added to them to bolster new capacities.

One of the best favorable circumstances that both Magento and OpenCart clients appreciate is their capacity to bolster various dialects and monetary standards, making them a worldwide arrangement that can suit organizations all around the globe.

SOME MARKET SHARE FIGURES

As far as a Market offer, Magento is unquestionably greater, with around 30% of top eCommerce sites being based on Magento, making it the biggest e-Commerce stage on the planet. The open truck might be a great deal littler and more up to date available, yet that doesn’t mean it falls in quality. It’s fascinating however that as indicated by BuiltWith.com,

“… Magento is the most prominent open-source e-business stage among locales positioning in the main 1,000,000 such sites on the planet. Just when checking all open source e-trade sites in the whole Internet does Magento tumble to second behind OpenCart.”

Since we know pretty much what we’re managing, let’s investigate some particular necessities:

FACILITATING PLANS AND OPTIONS

Other than the choice of the e-trade stage, the nature of the web facilitating administration you buy will likewise have a major effect on the execution of your online store. Exposed as the main priority, however, that Magento has a tendency to devour a lot of assets, which implies you will require a more grounded facilitating plan to bolster your store execution. Disregard shared facilitating as it will no doubt be outgrown before you see it. You may likewise get propositioned, for example, facilitating your back-end on a different server.

Open truck for this situation will be less expensive to host because of its light weight and will tend to work better for little to medium size stores. Magento performs better in facilitating medium to extensive measured business sites.

USE AND FEATURES

The one noteworthy contrast amongst Magento and Opencart is established in their utilizations and components. Magento has been increasing overall acknowledgment for its capacity to do pretty much anything you like and assemble the store you had always wanted. It offers very adjustable shopping encounters, boundless outline choices, capable SEO assets and boundless modules and incorporations. Each component you can consider was most likely assembled as of now and is accessible on MagentoCommerce. In the event that it’s not on there, then without a doubt a skilled and ensured Magento designer can make that answer for you.

With its adaptability comes additionally its intricacy, which presumably isn’t an issue in case you’re a Magento designer and realize what you’re doing. In case you’re not a Magento designer or on the off chance that you don’t know PHP, you’ll most likely discover Magento a bit excessively mind-boggling, particularly when it comes, making it impossible to exploiting its adaptability and custom components.

OpenCart then again is a considerable measure less demanding to the program, however, has a littler group premise. It’s extraordinary for new companies that need to convey rapidly without numerous incorporations. It gives a capable shopping basket and some awesome apparatuses which are significantly more instinctive and straight forward, to such an extent that some expert designers may discover it a bit excessively shortsighted, with insufficient components, making it impossible to play with. It’s somewhat similar to looking at amongst WordPress and Wix, or Microsoft Office Picture Manager and Adobe Photoshop. Know more about the Best eCommerce Platform and how the Magento and OpenCart work.

GROUP SUPPORT

Best eCommerce Platform, Both Magento and OpenCart have settled designer groups that offer backing and exhortation by interest, however, clearly, the Magento people group is significantly more powerful. Magento likewise guarantees and prescribes engineers to give them with validity, which makes it simple to channel the guidance you get and know who you ought to listen to. We expect that extra time, as Opencart keeps on developing, more instructional exercises and assets will get to be accessible, and the quantity of clients that can give online backing will increment.

THE SEO PERSPECTIVE

Up to this point, we’ve stayed pretty much nonpartisan about our decision, however, With regards to SEO, OpenCart still has far to go. Despite the fact that it takes pride in its SEO well-disposed URL’s, it appears that adjusting metadata and performing activities, for example, 301 referrals and real sanctioned can be significantly more perplexing than they ought to be. Furthermore, in spite of the fact that there are different augmentations that can help, it doesn’t approach the unlimited potential outcomes that Magento brings to the table, for example, upgrading titles, pictures and URL’s and associating a store to a WordPress blog.
