Fluent QA Statup Stack: Low Code Way
Over the years as Software QA, I have experienced a lot of tools in different categories. Many of these tools provider too much functionalities which is too expensive to learn and explore. I think most QA engineer may just use less than 20% of the whole functionalities provided.
After the improvement of dev language, framework and so on, the cost of develop back-office service is decreased significant. The proof of the cost reduced is that the opensource tools, and low-code tools. I tried some of these tools, and find out , actually I can use different tools to replace different commercial tools. Why it works? In most cases, I only use the 20% of the functionalities. Different little tools can provide these 20% functionalities with less cost. And most complex functionalities which can be replaced by in-house tools which is eventually developed, as it is highly organization related.
After learning low code tools, I realized that Everything could be integrate, through:
- API
- Data Pipeline
- Different Components
- ........
- So What ever you want to build, you need tiny thing in your pockets.
- So try to accumulate different libs, tools for different scenarios.
Product, tools or tiny spell
- office is a product, but it is too big to use, or you just use less than 20% the total features
- Tools is sometimes too complex to use, the learning cost is too big to learn
- tiny spell is good, but it is too hard to integrated.
So I think I need tiny spell libs and an easy integrated way to build up something in a low cost way.
How to build a easy integrated tools?
- plugin framework for both frontend or backend
- easy to integrate API or pipeline
- easy to make a UI interface or CLI interface
