Spore Lab is pleased to announce the expansion of our service offering with Full Stack IoT Systems Design. Building on our experience in embedded and mobile systems software development, we now offer a full suite of development capability covering all areas of IoT systems design, development and deployment.
We're happy to announce a project we've been working on for over a year now - Vure - a mobile and cloud based viticulture information system.
Stage one of Vure is designed to help remove the hassles, headaches and inefficiencies in viticulture yield estimation data capture. The yield estimation work can be a time consuming and difficult process. Up until now it has relied on laborious paper based systems which need to be printed out, manually filled in, perhaps get lost or damaged, then eventually uploaded into an Excel spreadsheet by hand before the collected data can ever be used.
As devices move towards being always online, and software development moves away from a fixed release schedule to a more organic continuous development, it is often useful to move end-user releases for those devices to a similar track. Assuming you have good development infrastructure, and suitable testing, it may be worthwhile looking at combining that with continuous deployment to provide maximum speed to market.
Software testing is one of those amorphous terms that covers a massive range of possibilities. Are we talking about integration, unit, black box, white box, systems, acceptance, regression, load, performance? The list goes on. In our experience, this is almost always a worthwhile effort, with paybacks in testing generally exceeding those from other areas, assuming that a pragmatic approach to testing is taken.
