Development of cross-platform mobile applications – promising methods and standard practices

The study reveals the current methodological aspects of the development of cross-platform mobile applications. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the generalization and analysis of software products and IDE environments that provide cross- platform development, as well as code generation utilities. The results of a comparative analysis of cross-platform development approaches and the results of a comparative analysis of cross- platform mobile application development tools are presented. The factors that slow down the development of a cross-platform application are identified. Solutions for minimizing functional losses in the conditions of building a universal software product are indicated. Data on the use of Shell scripts was provided, which will increase the efficiency of using the code generation utility. The steps for integrating common logic into native projects are identified. The practical significance of the research results is represented by the methodology for developing cross- platform mobile applications using a combination of tools to remove the identified limitations. The study contains a set of sequential actions and conclusions that the researchers came to in the process of forming a methodology for the cross-platform development of mobile applications. The methodology will allow us to develop a cross-platform software product adapted for subsequent modifications and extensions. This material can be designed in the standard of the developer company in the format of an internal document (instructions) of the developer company. Read more...

Automated solution for functional testing of the electronic services portal

The article presents a solution for the development of an automated functional testing system for the electronic services portal. The proposed solution takes into account the features of the architecture of the electronic services portal and integrated information systems with it. To obtain the result, methods of emulating the actions of real users of the electronic services portal and methods of organizing work with automated tests, checkers, user accounts were used. The implementation of the functionality of the schedule and queue of automated test launches is presented. The implementation of the functional testing component is supplemented with a description of the process of creating new automated tests. Using the automated functional testing system, the operator of the electronic services portal will be able to carry out this process as often as it deems necessary. Verification of the obtained development results was achieved by presenting the structure and content of the screen forms of the system interface. The practical significance of the results lies in the fact that an approach has been proposed to create simple and cost-effective methods for conducting functional testing of electronic portals, with the help of which system users, including those who do not have special programming skills, will be able to create automated tests and update existing automated test scripts. To ensure these capabilities, the article presents solutions for creating a pseudo-language and an interpreter for it. All the solutions presented are scalable and can be used when working with other electronic portals. Read more...
