Posted on by Ajay Sahoo

Apple’s next big thing is expected to lunch iphone 5s and ipad 5 on 29th of June of this year. Apparently iPhone 5S Smartphone will be entering the consumer market much earlier than what was expected. It is designed as a high-end sibling of the present generation iPhone 5. DigiTimes has revealed that the IPhone 5S will feature a faster processor, based on Apple’s ARM processing cores. They have also claimed that, it will have a higher-resolution camera than its previous models. These features can be disappointing for most users who find the phone’s design to be little boring and outdated compared to other major smart device manufacturers. But the next-generation iPhone 6 is expected to bring a fresh, updated and completely re-designed phone. Rumors have it that its design is inspired form iPad mini tablet.

DigiTimes’ sources has also pointed out that deliveries of essential iPhone 5S components are already scheduled to May, which makes sense that the launch date might be true. Resources have also stated that Apple is planning to launch iPad5 along with the iPhone 5S in an event on 29thof June. While unconfirmed from Apple, this date fits well with the earlier humors of the launch, but the inclusion of iPad 5 comes as something of a surprise. And these devices might be running iOS 7.

DigiTimes has released in their website stating-“Components for the next-generation iPhone will start shipping at the end of May with the new smartphone to have a chance of showing up in the third quarter, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.”

“The new iPhone will not receive a major upgrade and may just be a slightly enhanced version of iPhone 5 (iPhone 5S), the sources said citing their latest specification data.”

If the event does really take place in June, It will be something of a test to iPhone 5S and iPad-5. This could also be the deciding factor of the company’s future. It will be the first major release from the company since the death of its co-founder Steve Jobs.

Major iphone application development company are also looking forward to the release of the new iPhone as well as the iOS 7. It will facilitate them to develop apps for the new OS with numerous new features and functionalities.

MacRumours has also reported that according to Barclay’s analyst Kirk Yang, Apple is undeniably working on iPhone 5S and a cheaper iPhone, and about to launch in the August-September of this year.

Yang assumes that both the iPhones will have two models, one being made especially for Chinese customers. MacRumours further stated that, “The report claims that Apple is still weighing production volume for the new phones, working to estimate how much the lower-cost iPhone will cut into iPhone 5S sales and still gauging appropriate volumes for an expansion to China Mobile. Regardless, Apple does expect total iPhone shipments to be higher than last year’s levels.”

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo point out that the next generation iPhone will be called iPhone 5S, which will be identical to the iPhone 5. It will feature a faster 28 nanometer A7 chip, fingerprint sensor, smart LED flash and enhanced camera functionalities with f2.0 aperture.

The phone is expected to be available in two colors, just like the current iPhones, which contradicts its earlier rumors that new iPhone models would ship with multiple colors like the new iPod touch.

Pointing to the budget friendly iPhone 5, he pointed that it would be priced between $350 and $450, with a comparatively thicker (8.2 mm) plastic casing. He also revealed that the production might begin during the third quarter of this year.

Analyst Brian White pointed that Apple will release a new iPhone model with varying screen sizes that will help the company to earn revenue for reach models. He mentioned that the smaller iPhone version is specifically manufactured to target Chinese market and to open up opportunities in India.

2013 will bring these 3 trends for the Software Testers

Posted on by Ajay Sahoo

QA

Mobile applications have emerged as the most frequently used software platform in the last year. Numerous Testers and Developers spent a substantial amount of their time, testing security related issues. And we also saw that some software testers took the role of business partners rather than bug fixers.

Software Testers will also face some major testing trends this year. Here we have outlined some upcoming trends to look after.

Mobile compatible web application

Since last year, mobile usage has been increasing at a very faster pace. People are using mobile phones more than ever, from checking emails to browsing the web. But most of the companies are still not ready for this trend. Because of the smaller screen size, it possesses the biggest problem of usability.

Developers have also created mobile websites but they are relatively slower when compared to a computer webpage. This year, performance testing of mobile sites is expected to be most promising trend.

Server Performance and cross browser compatibility Testing

The integration of third party apps and the success of JavaScript will deeply affect client side performance. The year 2013 will bring the testers attention towards browser performance and server performance testing.

Although all browsers are expected to behave the same way across all platforms, but this is always not true, therefore more emphasis will be given on automated cross-browser compatibility testing.

Agile Software Development

Agile software development practices are getting popular among the software companies. It is essential for the software testers to adopt a versatile approach. The design and execution of the tests are to be performed at the same time. The priority for most of the companies is to deliver the services quickly and creatively.

At Andolasoft we have expert team of quality analyst and testing engineers with strong market specific testing experience to provide extensive Quality Assurance Services throughout the product life-cycle. We also execute cloud based testing to provide the best in quality product services and always look forward to upcoming trends in Software Testing.

If you are doing a migration from v2.2.x to v3.0.0

You Need To Do the Following Changes.

  • Download SDK: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-php-sdk
  • Keep the two classes base_facebook.php and facebook.php with the certificate fb_ca_chain_bundle.crt
  • Include facebook.php in your PHP file.
  • If you’re currently using the PHP SDK (v2.2.x) for authentication, you will recall that the login code looked like this:
include_once("facebook.php"); OR include_once("base_facebook.php");
$facebook = new Facebook(…);
$session = $facebook->getSession();
if ($session) {
// proceed knowing you have a valid user session
} else {
// proceed knowing you require user login and/or authentication
}
  • The login code is now:
include_once("facebook.php");
$facebook = new Facebook(…);
$user = $facebook->getUser();
if ($user) {
// proceed knowing you have a logged in user who's authenticated
} else {
// proceed knowing you require user login and/or authentication

The control can be configured for categories like, specific places where purchases can take place and the types of transactions which can be allowed. The patent also suggests that, parent will be notified about their child’s activity on the accounts, including the details of the online purchases. The app can also be set for the users, so that they cannot buy some unethical products. The E-Wallet app is enabled with a primary account that is connected to a credit card.

Users are able to use the app to manage transactions using their iPhone. The patent also hints that it will integrate mobile payment solution so that it can be used outside of its ecosystem in the future. It also reveals that the iPhone would integrate NFC (Near field communication) chip for convenience. This technology is still in its early stage of iPhone application development. So NFC enabled monetary transaction may not be secure completely.
