New Ruby on Rails Gem Announced by Mindfire Solutions

Mindfire’s Ruby on rails development team has created a gem called “Survey” and shared it in GIT (GIT link : https://github.com/mindfire-solutions/survey). Through this gem anyone can run a survey – all you need to think of is a set of questions and answers, rest all you need to do is add this gem to your Rails application.

Mindfire has been working in Rails application development for more than 2 years now and our development team has been contributing to the knowledge base by sharing our learning with the community at large through articles and tips (on new or useful things we learned during application development). This is one more step in that direction where we realized that there are no survey gems available for quick use by Rails developers worldwide, so we created one and shared in GIT.

Prerequisites for using this gem are:

• Ruby 1.9 or higher
• Ruby on Rails 3.1.3 or higher
• Application must have an authentication system with admin and normal user privileges.
• As we are using jQuery in the gem, so your application must support (include) jQuery-rails gem.

Details of the Survey gem:

Survey is composed of various modules those are listed and explained below:

1. Categories: All the questions and the answer sets are categorized. An admin user can add categories and a normal user can just view the categories.
2. Questions: Questions are the basic module of Survey. Questions can only be added by an admin user. They are broken into following types:

• Text Box: A question with a text box as an answer field.
• Text Box (Date): A question with a textbox and a calendar. Accepts only date as answer.
• Drop Down: A question with a drop down of choices. One of the choices needs to be selected to answer the question.
• Check Box: A question with check boxes. When a question can have multiple answers.
• Radio Button: A question with radio buttons. It can be used for selecting one out of multiple options.

3. Selections: Selections are the pre-defined choices/options for the questions of types Drop Down/ Check Boxes/ Radio Buttons etc. While creating a question if one chooses the question type to be any of the above three, a link is provided for adding a selection. A question can have as many selections as needed.
4. Validations: For the questions with Text Boxes, we can limit the input by adding validations. Validations can be chosen from the pre-defined list that appears if the question type is Text Box.
5. Question Sets: A Question Set is set of questions and sub-sets. Each question/sub-set that is added to the question set is called a Question Set Item. A Question Set is classified as follows:

• Assembly: A question set that cannot be integrated into other sets. Only Assembly Question Sets can be evaluated.
• Sub-Assembly (Sub-set): A question set that can be integrated into other sets.

6. Question Set Items: A question set item is any item that is being added to the question set. It can be a question or Sub-assemble question set.
7. Conditions: If the question set item is a question then we can add a condition based on the choice a user would made. For example, if the item is a question that states “Which car do you own?” and the selections are “A. Skoda, B. Audi, C. VolksWagon etc” now we can add condition if the user chooses selection A then we can show a question/set of questions, if user chooses B then we can show a different set/question or may be nothing. A condition can be applied to a question with Text Box too, but instead of using selections as a base the validations would be considered. If the question type is Radio/Dropdown the multiple selections in a condition would mean, if either of the selections. While in case of check box multiple selections would mean all of the selected options need to match with the user selections. Text Box (Date) type questions do not have any conditions.
8. Evaluation: Evaluation is sort of answering the questions in a set. A published and assembly type question set can only be evaluated. Any user can participate in the evaluation of a question set. Though they can view/edit evaluations made by them, they are not allowed to view evaluations made by other users in the system.

Why do we use frameworks in PHP development?

It helps a lot to understand why we use frameworks in PHP development before zeroing in on a particular framework. A PHP Framework forms the basis of the platform that allows software developers to develop web applications. Hence it provides the detailed structure to develop an application.

The advantages of using a PHP Framework are manifold. First of all it helps save time. Secondly, it helps avoid the need to produce repetitive code, and thus helps the developer go for Rapid Application Development (RAD). Therefore one can always imagine how difficult it would be not to have a PHP Framework in place. These difficulties manifest while producing applications because the developer has to repeatedly code a lot of PHP. Notwithstanding the above fact, it also becomes imperative for the developer to execute the connection between his database and the application that he has been trying to develop from scratch. In these circumstances using a PHP framework makes custom PHP development easier by ensuring that this connection remains intact.

Essentially, PHP development is based on the Model View Controller (MVC) fundamentals which is an architectural pattern featured in a number of popular programming languages. The MVC architecture helps separate the domain logic from the user interface. Hence it is often quoted that, the key to understanding PHP Frameworks better comes through a thorough knowledge about the MVC architecture.

Although it may seem very convenient to pick up the most popular PHP framework in the market, it is also quite important not to get confused with what you need your framework to do and the features that are already bundled in the framework. Not every PHP Framework offers the same support for databases, communities, and an easy to follow user guide. At the same time if you are an end user company and you would like to build a content management system for your company using PHP, then you would obviously require some expert counsel from a professional PHP development company. When you are at this juncture of the software development phase then you can always approach Mindfire Solutions to address your PHP development needs. With over 10 years of custom PHP development experience along with deep expertise in the numerous PHP frameworks widely available in the market, Mindfire Solutions can be your ideal software development partner to help you from start to finish of your project. Not only will it help you decide judiciously on the framework to be used, it will undertake with utmost professionalism all the tasks that are essential towards the completion of the project.

Our 750+ spirited software engineers located across three advanced development centres in India have collectively executed more than 1000 projects for our 300+ client base.

At Mindfire we have worked for projects involving various challenging features and work. For example recently we worked on a project which involved Magento and vTiger integration. The customer had a CRM application (Vtiger) with inventory tracking and wanted product sales website using an existing e-commerce product (Magento) for quick turnaround. The challenge was to bring the CRM data to the web while keeping the CRM data in sync with the web based e-commerce application for inventory tracking, sales orders and customer management.

Another challenge we faced as we proceeded with development and overcame was the mapping of entity attributes/datatypes in the two separate systems that had their own schemas and ways for storing customer, product and sales order data.

We architected and developed a solution using the codeigniter (PHP) framework to synchronize the information between the two systems; Magento - one of the biggest online shopping solutions and vTiger CRM, a branch from the Sugar CRM code.

The bridge requires some initial configuration in order for it to work. The application requires the user to enter the Magento and VTiger API credentials in order to connect to their API's and access data. We used PHP SOAP client for accessing Magento APIs and PHP CURL for connecting to vTigers API/database.

Why WordPress is the favorite CMS?

For most businesses WordPress is the favorite CMS. So what are those ingredients that make it the CMS of choice? We all know that choosing a CMS for a website is the most crucial first task for a webmaster. The chosen CMS will play a great role in defining how the particular website is created as well as what tools will be available for creating a desired website.

Here are a few advantages that WordPress has over the gamut of CMSes that are currently available and sets it apart from them:

• Speed of development: The speed with which WordPress comes out with its multitudes of minor and major upgrades is unmatched in the CMS market. Additionally, WordPress makes it extremely convenient to update both the core and complimentary plugins. The presence of an agile WordPress application development community ensures that upgrades are readily available.

• Greater Security: At one point of time, websites built on WordPress faced the maximum number of hacks and security issues. Today however, with the availability of many security plugins for WordPress which makes the work of managing the security even simpler, WordPress is once again the most widely used CMS.

• Higher Flexibility: The idea behind creating WordPress was to be able to utilize plugins to create just about any type of website that a webmaster might need. WordPress which no longer remains a simple blogging platform, has graduated into the most powerful CMS that can be used to create full-fledged websites, sales pages, squeeze pages, and even membership sites

• Search-Engine Friendliness: Only a few content management systems have the advantage of being search engine friendly. WordPress, with its library of plugins has been designed specifically to be search engine friendly. This allows for amazingly fast load times coupled with a lightweight core which makes adjusting the settings of particular websites to meet the needs of search engines easy.

• Smaller learning curve: Compared to other Content Management Systems, WordPress seems to have a much smaller learning curve. The back-end is designed to be very intuitive and user friendly which helps to download and install plugins from inside the dashboard. The ease of updating the core and plugins with a single click and the flexibility of having the updates notified on the dashboard whenever they are available substantially helps in making it the CMS of choice.

• Less Resource Consuming: WordPress consumes less server resources than any other available CMS and does not load the server as such.

If you finally choose WordPress as your desired CMS, then you may seek WordPress experts who would help you set up your site in time with full functionality. We would be glad to assist if you hire our expert WordPress development services.

Mindfire Solutions is a 12-year old leading Software Development and IT services company with a strong track record of working with SMBs worldwide on projects as these.

Salesforce Development Services

The conference Board’s CEO Challenge Survey 2006 which was conducted in July gave out some interesting facts about CEOs and the challenges they were facing in running their small businesses. Improving Sales pipeline visibility was the highest priority need voted by 76% CEOs. While Increasing sales revenues was still there at 65% CEOs voting it as a challenge, the interesting thing to note was that most of the top hunks in the organisations, about 57% of them were keen on improving customer data quality and management.

And when a year later, these CEOs were asked to take up Salesforce platform and asked the question whether their needs were met by salesforce – it was a rhetoric Yes! 110% of the CEOs said Customer data quality and management has become smooth! Salesforce helps CEOs manage, measure and grow their businesses in a single dashboard. There are a lot of metrics including Sales Metrics, Service and Marketing metrics which can be measured in Salesforce.

However, every business is unique and each business might need customizations to the salesforce application. That is where you can hire Salesforce experts who can do Salesforce CRM customization to perfectly fit into the needs of your enterprise.

Salesforce development services enable Salesforce CRM customers to customize and extend Salesforce. Salesforce.com is one of the most popular and powerful customer relationship management (CRM) products in the world today. Since every business is unique, Salesforce CRM is by design highly customizable.

To suit one’s unique business needs better, Salesforce CRM customers usually get some Salesforce customization done. Business needs evolving over time may also necessitate further Salesforce customization and extension. Whereas simple customization requires point-and-click and basic understanding of Salesforce.com system, more powerful Salesforce development requires knowledge of Apex programming language and Visualforce framework.

Salesforce development service providers, such as Mindfire Solutions, come in handy in times such as these. With years of experience of providing Salesforce development services for a variety of industries and customer needs, they can make the process of customization faster and worry-free.

The Salesforce development team at Mindfire has helped many clients in adapting Salesforce.com functionality to their company’s existing processes and workflows and in improving them to make them more efficient and effective.

Companies providing Salesforce development services, such as Mindfire, can also help with Salesforce migration (migrating your customer data from other applications to Salesforce) and Salesforce integration (with your organization's on-premise applications or external cloud services). They can also help you create powerful custom applications on the Force.com PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) cloud platform.

If you are an existing Salesforce.com user and want to extend its capabilities or new to Salesforce.com, migrating from other technologies, endless possibilities await you. With professional Salesforce development services, you can make a customized Salesforce CRM your competitive advantage.

QTP Keyword Driven Testing

First of all – Why is QTP Testing needed? And then Why is QTP Keyword driven testing important at all? The main advantage of KDT (Keyword driven testing) is its low cost for maintenance. If there is a change to the test case, only the test case file needs to be changed and the startup and driver scripts don’t even need to change. Result – Quicker turnaround and less cost. To know what all components and files are present in QTP testing – let us take a look at it in more detail.

The basic components of QTP Keyword driven testing framework are the control file, the test cases file, the startup script, the driver script and the utility script. The control file is the key of the Keyword driven testing approach and contains the list of all the test cases which need to be executed. Test cases file contains the detailed steps in which order a test case needs to be executed. The startup script executes the first step and initiates the sequence. Driver scripts read checks for the presence of keywords and calls the specific utility scripts for specific functions.

Software QA Testing is an essential part of software development life cycle since it lets you measure your software quality. Without testing, there is no way to verify that whether your software works correctly or not. It has been long 12 years for Mindfire’s Software QA and Testing team to serve global customers as a trusted offshore partner for QA and testing services.

Services can range from Flash Application Development, Flash Internet Application Development, Flash Website Development, Flash Template Design, Multimedia Flash Presentation, Flash Banner Design, Flash Animations & Elements, Flash Web Intro, Flash Game Development and much more!

Our experience and expertise, not only in Flash but also in areas related to it, has helped our clients reap the maximum benefit by working with us. Recently one of our clients, who is into selling medical products, wanted to build a product which would help it increase its sales. They had a marketing budget and wanted us to build something to help in advertisement. What we suggested was using Gamification to build the application, where the whole message is conveyed in the form of a game. So it’s exciting and engaging for the user and by playing it, very subtly, he is made aware of our client’s products. We also did the social media integration so that it can be shared easily among users. Once the product was developed and delivered to client there was a wonderful impact in sales for our client – this proved to be the solution they were in need of. At the end of it all we felt happy that we could help our client realize the true benefit of technology and get a good return on their investment in it.

Since we have Flash development teams working exclusively in building apps for iOS, android based phones – we leveraged that and build the app as thought of by client.

Real testing in the smart phones helped in improving finer aspects of the app and this in turn benefited our client in getting a totally market ready app. Since at Mindfire we do the testing and development in parallel and handle the testing in house (as part of our own focus and commitment to deliver best quality product to our clients) - client got the whole app developed within time and with no extra overhead cost.

Cross-Platform Mobile App Development

As mobile Operating systems — especially Android & iPhone— wax and wane, the question open pops up – How does one choose which mobile devices to develop for and which devices to omit from your roadmap? Hence, Cross-Platform App Development is becoming increasingly more prevalent in today’s world. It is also known as multi-platform app development / multi-OS app development. As its name indicates, a cross-platform mobile app runs across multiple mobile platforms like iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, Symbian, WebOS, Bada, and tablets like iPad & Samsung Galaxy Tab. But first things first: what’s the need?

If you are a mobile services provider or an app developer, creating platform-specific versions of your app presents a great challenge. With so many platforms around today and more getting added by the minute, which platform(s) should you create your app for? iPhone? Android? iPhone and Android? iPhone and Android and Windows Mobile? iPhone and Android and BlackBerry and … Phew! And just imagine what it might do to your cost of development and time to market… let alone future app maintenance and upgrade challenges! And even after an epic struggle, your mobile app may still cover only a part of your target audience!

When you think of an idea which mobile users can use conveniently from their phones, it is highly limiting if your app works only in one “type” of mobiles. Something like the iphone was less known before 5-6 years and now is hot cake technology. Similarly, something which was most widely known like the Symbian OS or the Windows mobile OS have lost ground to other competitive mobile OS. There are even others which are no longer being used anymore. If your app idea is built with just that technology in mind, you would need to build the application from scratch every time you want to port it to another mobile platform. 

With Cross platform app development, that thing can be done with. Working with a cross platform mobile app team has its own advantages – from the very beginning, the app architecture will help in its porting to different platform while the need to build from scratch every time, removed.  In a changed world such as this, cross-platform mobile app development comes to the rescue. Using modern cross-platform mobile development frameworks such as Appcelerator Titanium, Adobe PhoneGap, Motorola RhoMobile, etc. one can create a cross-platform mobile app just once and deploy it to multiple mobile platforms like iOS, Android, BlackBerry, etc.

Companies like Mindfire Solutions provide expert cross-platform app development services backed by a strong track record of developing engaging cross-platform mobile apps using Titanium, PhoneGap, and RhoMobile. Whereas Titanium is considered to be one of the top choices for building cross-platform mobile apps by many, PhoneGap is a powerful an open source cross-platform mobile development framework, and RhoMobile offers an impressive suite of polished tools for cross-platform app development. 

Dedicated Titanium, PhoneGap, and RhoMobile teams at Mindfire have made deep use of these powerful cross-platform mobile app development frameworks and have successfully delivered many high-quality projects for global clients across diverse industries such as healthcare, entertainment, sports, retail, etc.
