Preventing the threat of building technical debt.

According to Gartner, one of the top four mistakes organizations make when implementing bimodal IT is failing to maintain a disciplined focus on refactoring and managing technical debt. With Mendix, you can avoid the maintenance nightmare and still move with agility.

Application Quality Monitor

Make intelligent, proactive and contextual applications.

The cost of defects rises exponentially depending on the stage in the application lifecycle. Create highly-maintainable applications from the very early stages of development, rather than refactoring in retrospect.

The Mendix Application Quality Monitor offers a dashboard providing instant insight on the quality of the application models you’re building. This industry-first cloud service leverages the Mendix metadata-based Model API, performing static analysis of application models by a best-of-breed engine from our partner SIG.

REDUCE LIFE CYCLE COST

Addressing the root cause pays off.

Research conducted by SIG shows there is a strong correlation between the cost and effort of handling post-release issues and enhancements and the maintainability rating of an application. Issue resolution time and enhancement effort increase exponentially for applications with lower ratings.

While the average benchmark rating for applications is 3, SIG advises teams to strive for level 4 quality.

Partnership: The power of an ecosystem.

Mendix partners with SIG, an independent advisory firm for software quality and improvement. SIG has more than 15 years’ experience in applying the ISO 25010 standard, and has built mathematical engines to measure software maintainability based on this standard.

Both Mendix and SIG adhere to the highest information security standards. Mendix has obtained ISAE 3402 Type II and SOC 1 Type II assurance reports, and SIG’s services are ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified.

Rod Willmott

Fast Track Innovation Director at LV=

"LV= has made great progress with the Mendix platform and has very quickly built some substantial applications. The automated testing and performance analytics capability of the Application Test Suite and Performance Monitor is just what we need to allow testing and performance tuning in order to continue at the same rapid pace as the development."

Barrington Clarke

DevOps Lead at Zurich Insurance Company

“When I look back, I think we should have used the Mendix Application Test Suite (ATS) much earlier. From the moment we began using the test suite, we performed a regression test with each application deployment. It was truly liberating for our development team, a burden fell from our shoulders.”

Proactively address performance issues

There is nothing more frustrating to users than performance issues. As applications become increasingly complex, though, finding the root cause can be a daunting exercise. Mendix addresses this challenge by providing a unique set of tools as a cloud service to get a grip on application performance from an early stage.

Mendix partner since 2010, Mansystems has become a leading business and technology partner in our ecosystem. The Mendix Application Test Suite is a unique offering that provides the Mansystems product as a Mendix Cloud service.

Embed testing in your application lifecycle

Testing & quality assurance are essential disciplines in all software development projects. However, functional and regression testing can quickly become a burden for applications that go through iterative cycles of development and deployment. Mendix addresses this challenge by providing a unique cloud service to define, automate, and manage your tests.

APPLICATION TEST SUITE

Prevent the cost of defects. Reduce spend on testing.

The cost of defects can rise exponentially depending on the stage in the lifecycle. Applying the right test approach helps to proactively address functional flaws and technical defects early on. Despite the benefit, testing easily consumes 25 percent of a development project’s budget.

Automate your functional tests for the user stories you’re developing and bring down the overall cost of testing to less than 10 percent of your project budget. The Mendix Application Test Suite offers a suite of tools for embedding testing in your application lifecycle. These tools are built in Mendix on top of Selenium.

Functional test automation

Define a test case in just a few minutes.

The Mendix Application Test Suite applies the principles of keyword-driven testing, the fastest way to automate your functional tests. Define a test case in just a few minutes using out-of-the-box automation blocks.

  • Refactoring

    Change is a constant factor in any application. The intelligent refactoring mechanism helps you keep your tests consistent and avoid redundancy.

  • Keyword-Driven Testing

    Create your own keywords as reusable building blocks. Use parameters for keywords to pass/return data and use them in multiple scenarios. Avoiding redundancy saves time and keeps your tests maintainable.

  • Scheduling

    The scheduler runs your test at any time without manual input. By running tests in parallel you can process a full array of regression tests in less time.

  • Reusable End-to-End Tests

    Once designed, tests can be reused infinitely without additional effort. Use the same tests for multiple purposes in different stages (development, smoke/sanity, system, regression, etc.)

  • Platform Version Compatibility

    Upon platform updates, differences between platform versions are transparently normalized. No broken tests, no changes required.

  • Cross-Browser Testing

    Design once and run it in Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer without any changes.
