Mitigating the risk of accruing technical debt.
As highlighted by Gartner, among the top four oversights in implementing bimodal IT is the lack of disciplined emphasis on refactoring and handling technical debt. Mendix offers a solution to steer clear of maintenance challenges while maintaining agility.
Develop applications that are intelligent, preemptive, and context aware.
Defect expenses significantly increase at various stages of the application lifecycle. Focus on crafting highly maintainable applications right from the initial phases of development, rather than engaging in retroactive refactoring.
The Mendix Application Quality Monitor introduces a dashboard that offers immediate visibility into the quality of the application models under construction. This pioneering cloud service utilizes the Mendix metadata-based Model API and conducts static analysis of application models through a cutting-edge engine from our partner SIG.
The ISO benchmark for maintainability.

Resolving the underlying cause yields significant benefits.
Studies conducted by SIG reveal a compelling correlation between the expense and resources allocated to addressing post-release issues and improvements, and the maintainability assessment of an application. The time spent resolving issues and the effort invested in enhancements soar exponentially for applications with lower ratings.
Collaboration: Leveraging the Strength of an Ecosystem.
Mendix collaborates with SIG, an autonomous consulting firm specializing in software quality and enhancement. With over 15 years of expertise in implementing the ISO 25010 standard, SIG has developed mathematical engines to assess software maintainability according to this benchmark.
Both Mendix and SIG uphold the utmost information security standards. Mendix holds ISAE 3402 Type II and SOC 1 Type II assurance reports, while SIG's services are certified under ISO/IEC 27001:2013.
Develop an application portfolio with exceptional performance.
Take preemptive action on performance challenges.
Nothing is more exasperating for users than encountering performance issues. However, as applications grow in complexity, identifying the root cause can pose a formidable task. Mendix tackles this challenge by offering a distinctive range of tools as a cloud service, enabling comprehensive management of application performance right from the initial stages.
Collaboration: Leveraging Ecosystem Strength
As a Mendix partner since 2010, Mansystems has emerged as a prominent business and technology ally within our ecosystem. The Mendix Application Test Suite represents a distinctive offering, presenting the Mansystems product as an exclusive Mendix Cloud service.
Incorporate testing within your application's lifecycle.
Testing and quality assurance stand as critical practices in all software development endeavors. Nevertheless, functional and regression testing can swiftly become cumbersome for applications undergoing iterative cycles of development and deployment. Mendix tackles this challenge by offering an exclusive cloud service for defining, automating, and overseeing your tests.
Mitigate expenses related to defects. Cut down testing expenditures.
Defect costs can surge significantly based on the lifecycle stage. Employing an appropriate testing methodology aid in preemptively handling functional deficiencies and technical flaws in the initial phases. Despite its advantages, testing frequently consumes about 25 percent of a development project's budget.
Automate functional tests for the user stories under development, consequently reducing overall testing expenses to below 10 percent of your project budget. The Mendix Application Test Suite presents a series of tools designed for integrating testing within your application's lifecycle. These tools are developed within Mendix and leverage Selenium technology.
Create a test case swiftly within minutes.
Leveraging the principles of keyword-driven testing, the Mendix Application Test Suite offers the quickest method for automating your functional tests. Define a test case effortlessly using readily available automation blocks.
Create a test scenario in just a few minutes.
Utilizing the principles of keyword-driven testing, the Mendix Application Test Suite adopts the swiftest approach to automate your functional tests. Define a test case efficiently by employing pre-configured automation blocks.
Refactoring
Constant change is an inherent aspect of any application. Employing an intelligent refactoring mechanism aid in maintaining consistent tests and minimizing redundancy.
Keyword-Driven Testing
It involves crafting custom keywords as reusable components. Utilize parameters within these keywords to transmit or retrieve data, enabling their application across various scenarios. By steering clear of redundancy, this approach saves time and ensures the maintainability of your tests.
Automated scheduling
Automated scheduling enables tests to run without manual intervention, allowing for flexibility in timing. Implementing parallel testing expedites the execution of a comprehensive range of regression tests, reducing the overall time required for processing.
End to end test.
End-to-end tests that are reusable can be utilized repeatedly without extra input or effort. Employ these tests across various stages such as development, smoke/sanity, system, regression, etc., serving multiple purposes without the need for redesign or additional creation.
Compatibility with platform versions
When platform updates occur, the normalization process transparently resolves discrepancies between platform versions. This results in seamless transitions without any broken tests or necessitating alterations.
Multi-browser Testing
Create a design once and execute it seamlessly across Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer without requiring any modifications.
