Rangle has acquired key insights doing Agile software development projects for a diverse group of clients. In this article, we take a look at when testing ought to happen, which parts of it are actually worth doing, and how to tell.
As we've discussed in previous articles, the role of the QA has transformed over the years. Affected by a shift towards Continuous Delivery, technological advances (such as A.I. and machine learning) and changing expectations from clients and their own teams alike, the role of QAs of today isn't what it used to be a few years ago. Naturally, the skills that will be required of them in the future will also evolve.
Our recent whitepaper Advanced Agile: Five Ways to Accelerate Delivery, Improve Flexibility, and Reduce Waste (Available through our Contact Us form) summarizes five of the key insights Rangle has acquired doing Agile software development projects for a diverse group of clients.

In Creating Forms with Redux Part I, we hooked up our forms to Redux, learned about the reduxForm HOC and Field component, styled our forms, and made a custom input component. In this section, we continue creating reusable components for the most common form widgets, learn how to do field-level validation, and dive a bit deeper into the built-in action creators and selectors to help us create a more dynamic form.

There are few things less appealing than forms but they're still one of the most direct ways for a user to dump a hunk of data into your server. To make the process of filling a form as painless as possible, one needs a good form system that handles common concerns such as:

If you've been involved in mobile development in any way in the past few years, you may have heard of React Native - a framework that lets you build native mobile applications using only JavaScript and React.

eCommerce is no longer just an add-on to conventional brick and mortar sales, but an integral part of business strategy. Customers are buying online with increased frequency, while also using mobile to research purchasing decisions before stepping foot in a store.
