  • Bitrise Expedites Neo Financial’s Mobile App Build Time and Delivery

    Bitrise Automates Mobile App Deployment for The Fintech Unicorn, Allowing It to Release Features Weekly to Apple and Android Marketplaces

    San Francisco, CA, January 12, 2023 — Bitrise, the Mobile DevOps company whose platform maximizes the overall business impact of apps for the world’s most sophisticated mobile organizations, today announced the results of its work to automate mobile app development for Neo Financial, Canada’s next-generation financial technology company. Working with Bitrise, Neo has significantly cut its build time for mobile processes, allowing its team to release more frequent mobile features. Neo has over one million members, and is one of the fastest Canadian companies to reach ‘unicorn’ status following its $145M Series C funding round in May of 2022.

    For hundreds of years, Canada’s banking landscape has been dominated by five major incumbent financial institutions that hold over $4 trillion of the country’s assets. But, despite their long-standing history, these banks have been slow to digitize and introduce new capabilities. This ultimately formed a void between Canada’s financial offerings and the evolving demands of today’s mobile consumer.

    For a newcomer to bridge this gap, bringing banking outside the confines of brick-and-mortar buildings and onto consumer-friendly mobile platforms was only the first step. It also required addressing features like account security, easy-to-understand transaction details, and credit score monitoring that Canadians consider most valuable in a mobile banking experience, according to Insider Intelligence.

    Through its partnership with Bitrise and its second generation GEN2 machines, Neo saw further efficiencies throughout its mobile development and release processes and has increased the app’s frequency of feature releases and app updates to a weekly cadence.

    “Reimagining the way Canadians bank is no small undertaking, and our partnership with Bitrise has enabled our team to not only accelerate our mobile development and release time, but focus our resources on building innovative products and features for all Canadians,” said Kris Read, Co-founder and CTO, Neo Financial.

    Investors have recognized Neo’s release speed as its key differentiator in today’s crowded fintech market. According to Andrew McCormack of Valar Ventures, the pace Neo releases new products is among the fastest Valar Ventures has seen, and, “as a result, Neo can be the biggest disruption the Canadian banking industry has seen in decades, and their influence on financial services available to Canadians will impact the lives of millions.”

    With the support of Bitrise’s automation, Neo’s engineering team continues to expand their products and features. In addition to standard banking and savings offerings, Neo’s mobile app now includes everything from Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options for consumers and businesses, to Canada’s first fully digital and actively managed investment experience, and an online mortgage product with renewal and refinancing options.

    “A mobile app is no longer just an accessory for banks. In order to succeed, mobile needs to become a prominent aspect of banks’ business models,” said Barnabás Birmacher, CEO of Bitrise. “Neo’s success shows that, when development is handled efficiently, mobile has the power to transform the banking industry.”

    Bitrise works with more than 6,000 companies worldwide to deliver on the growing demand for mobile products. For fintech companies, this means automating vital stages of the app development lifecycle including regular security checks and testing to prevent bugs and delayed delivery of new mobile features.

  • How to Successfully Adopt Mobile DevOps Practices

    How to Successfully Adopt Mobile DevOps Practices

    Mobile DevOps is more than simply adopting a new set of tools and practices. It also comes with the need to adopt a completely different mindset, in the form of a cultural-organizational change. The approach is based on the Agile methodology, but takes its practices further— not only by getting other teams more involved, but by replacing function-based teams with product- and project-oriented teams as well. The main idea behind this is that nothing inspires collaboration like having a common goal and working together towards reaching it. 

    Let’s take a look at the key elements of Mobile DevOps practices.

    Continuous Communication and Planning

    The goals and purposes of Mobile DevOps correspond with the original DevOps principles, such as customer satisfaction, sustainability, enhanced teamwork and shortened software development lifecycles. Similarly to DevOps, it aims to resolve problems by using common sense and implementing a culture of shared responsibility, transparency and shorter review cycles. In mobile development, constant and interaction-based communication between developers, website, product and QA teams is particularly important in order to accelerate feedback loops and consequently, resolve issues faster. In Mobile DevOps, there is more focus on transparent, traceable documentation, which can be achieved by using a source control system that helps keep track of documentation of code changes and details of the whole process. Raised visibility also helps teams share the workload—especially when it comes to unexpected work—and to fix incidents, and unblock the release pipeline rapidly. 

    Continuous Integration, Delivery and Deployment

    The Android and iOS operating systems are dominating the current mobile landscape, and both of them—especially Android—are incredibly fragmented. For this reason, it is necessary for developers to maintain separate builds, depending on the many supported versions, device types and platforms. A stable CI/CD tool ensures that the codes created by different teams are compatible with each other and new ones can be integrated into previous ones with no issues. These tools eliminate the manual aspects of app development from planning, code testing, integrations to deployment and monitoring, and automate as much as possible throughout the entire lifecycle of app development, which ensures the seamless merging of codes and reduces the risk of errors. Device fragmentation is the main reason why Mobile DevOps and CI/CD automation are inseparable in any team that wants to automate their app development, their testing and their monitoring processes. 

    Continuous Testing and Monitoring

    Mobile applications have to go through rapid iterations and more frequent releases than web applications. This results in new features in the app which are not always supported in the production environment at the time of the release. To understand the quality level and potential risk of each new release, mobile app companies can conduct different types of tests—ranging from automated unit and UI interaction testing, all the way to manual QA testing—depending on the maturity of the app and the size of the team. Besides implementing an iterative process for testing, adding monitoring and real-time performance tracking tools are all crucial in mobile app development. Not only do these enable teams to find the root cause of failures faster, but to save on hardware costs as well. Adding third-party SDK, performing crash reports and continuously monitoring both the app performance and the feedback in the app stores all help developers constantly improve the quality of the app. 

    Conclusion

    DevOps is just as much about the culture as it is about technology. Successfully adopting Mobile DevOps requires all teams at app companies to make important technical and business decisions, have a hard look at their processes, identify the bottlenecks and be prepared to make significant changes. The essence of Mobile DevOps not only lies in a mindset change and choosing the right tools, but also in close-knit teamwork that allows teams to focus on market needs, user behavior, feedback and other factors that significantly affect the product perception.

  • Understanding the Mobile DevOps Process

    Understanding the Mobile DevOps Process

    In today’s current technology scenario, mobile app developers are always on the lookout for the latest IT innovations to stay on the competitive edge. To make the process of developing mobile apps more efficient, mobile service providers have adopted mobile DevOps.

    Mobile app development adopts the latest trends, technologies and tools for developing intuitive mobile application across different platforms as well as industry verticals. There are many mobile developers who are experts in the development of hybrid and native mobile applications across the platforms for end-to-end mobility, such as iOS, Android and Windows. Service providers aspire to achieve the business objective of the clients through leveraging people, processes and the latest technology.

    Why Mobile DevOps

    There are so many discussion and articles on mobile app development and how mobile DevOps practices could be integrated, adopted with existing processes and even how to use efficient resources that are beneficial for organizations. However, little has been said about why mobile DevOps could make a difference to companies that strive to enable their IT, development and operations to integrate with business goals.

    DevOps is vital for modern app development and delivery. However, leaders in the mobile application development and IT operations should address the unique collaboration, testing the release and analytics needs of mobile DevOps environments.

    Mobile DevOps for a Mobile Apps Developer

    The mobile DevOps discipline needs important business and technical decisions to be usable and to provide value for organizations. To get all critical pieces together and allow continuous mobile DevOps workflow, potential problems and bottlenecks should be identified. Nevertheless, mobile DevOps has its pros, as well.

    For a mobile developer to win the loyalty of mobile users, it must ship the right applications to the right customer at the right time. One has to continuously ship high-quality software and continuously listen and learn from users, providing them features before they know that they want them. Agile development methods are not enough; to win in mobile application, a developer needs mobile DevOps. It combines great automated tooling with a “continuous everything” culture.

    The Pros of Mobile DevOps

    Mobile DevOps has a number of advantage, including:

    • Shortens release time. DevOps, it’s been said, is about collaboration across teams, something that was not managed properly with the old waterfall practices. Actually, mobile DevOps is more than that. The simplified processes, when operations and development come together, could enable organizations share information between the teams and others and considerably shorten the time from the design-development phase to the actual release. Iterative cycle during development enable more frequent deployment of code, get new regressions tested, verified and released faster than regular phase-by-phase process. Mobile DevOps offer a faster path of fixing occurring problems with the product. Once enhancements and features implemented for each build are done, continuous integration with the right test setup provide a faster solution to problems.
    • Enables creation of better applications. More time spent on making new features, advantages and benefits for users simply are enabling the creation of better user experiences. User experience is the true differentiator today in the competition of the mobile apps popularity. Only those that enable delivery of experiences that users expect could remain in the competition. One of the most important things in doing DevOps is enabling instant feedback and reporting, transparent visibility to development and regression testing is paramount. This provides the mobile team an easy way of troubleshooting issues faster and fix, refactor and optimize user experience.
    • Saves time and make use of efficient resources. Faster features delivery, new build and updates are achieved when operation environments such as development, staging and production are stable and the operating environments work easily for development. This itself makes the whole mobile app development process more productive and helps maximize business advantages. One enabler of mobile DevOps is automation. Automation is available from source code management to testing and development tools and further to actual mobile app monitoring in production.
    • Provides multiple tools options. There are hundreds of thousands of tools that mobile applications are developed with daily. For any kind of feature, there should be a tool that could help build, test and deploy a certain part or feature of the app. Nonetheless, for good reason, some tools are used commonly by the mainstream. Most of the tools used and mobile DevOps processes that establish mobile DevOps core facilitate continuous integration, continuous release as well as continuous deployment. Part of the process is app release automation tools, which help up packaging and deploying app from development to production using automation. These tools help mobile DevOps flow to produce capabilities for implementing continuous delivery for even huge number of releases. Release management tools enable organizations to plan and to execute releases, offer a single collaboration portal for all stakeholders and provide traceability for a release and its components across all the build and delivery pipeline stages.
    • Could dodge inefficiencies and bottlenecks. The major idea behind Mobile DevOps is to make things transparent and efficient, boost internal communication and help in building better products or applications. When mobile DevOps practices, processes and tools are in line, several bottlenecks and inefficiencies could be avoided, such as:
      • Inconsistent development environments
      • Stability and maturity of workflow
      • Manual interventions
      • Lack of operational practices
      • ‘Old way’ and ‘new way’ integration
      • Competing/misaligned procedures and lack of ownership
      • Old-fashioned or manual testing process.

    Mobile DevOps is capable of transforming how an organization handles the development process for the better. It is no wonder  it has become the way of the future for mobile organizations. The DevOps approach principle puts emphasis on people and culture above tools and processes; thus, bringing business owners intimately to the design process can boost the success of the process. Organizations have to embrace a combination of collaboration and integration tools from both parties. Seamless interaction unlocks full benefits of the method and could ultimately contribute to overall business and operational success.

  • Rookie Mistake: Not Managing Mobile Customer Feedback

    Rookie Mistake: Not Managing Mobile Customer Feedback

    Managing mobile customer feedback effectively could be the single-most important success factor for your company and customers. Call it addiction or habit, but every passing day we encounter new data confirming the growth of mobile app usage and total hours spent interacting with them. In the “2015 U.S. Mobile App Report,” the CoreMetrics team has shared some useful data metrics regarding digital media consumption growth and app usage. A couple of notable themes or trends are:

    1. Americans across all age groups spend increasing time on Mobile Apps: By mid-2015, Americans on average had spent approximately 68 hours per month on their mobile devices. That number rises even further to more than 90 hours per month among millenials.
    2. A whopping 50 percent of time is spent within a single app and about 90 percent on the top five apps: Not only is the average time spent on mobile app usage increasing, it is concentrated in a few limited apps. A staggering 50 percent of their time is spent working within a single app, and that number tapers off rapidly as popularity, utility and quality decreases.
      Share_of_App_Time_Spent_by_Rank_Chart_reference

    It is evident from this data that you want customers to include your app on their home screen. That means not only having a compelling utility, but also ensuring that the app is of the highest quality. In this article I will illustrate how you can accomplish that by incorporating mobile customer feedback loops in every stage of the development cycle and involving and engaging customers through your path to production. Along the way, we will look at various open source and commercial tools that enhance the ability to collect feedback at various stages of the continuous delivery pipeline.

    Typical Continuous Delivery Pipeline

    Most agile or lean software organizations have an automated continuous integration and delivery pipeline that helps manage the flow of release artifacts to production. While there might be nuanced variations across teams and enterprises, the typical path to production for apps or services is represented through the steps shown:

    newstar devops ci_cd_pipeline

    It will be useful to review this pipeline as we explore options to incorporate feedback throughout the path to production.

    Continuous Delivery and Mobile Customer Feedback

    Not too long ago, most negative user feedback consisted solely of poor ratings, comments and rants on social media platforms. Without having context, metrics and data, most development teams were left guessing on how best to reproduce and determine extent of the issue. This usually resulted in issues and features getting prioritized in an ad hoc manner.

    Today, numerous open source and commercial tools are available that help solve the feedback problem. Most of them can be categorized in the following broad areas:

    • Instrumentation
      Despite recent reports that Facebook made its Android App crash to test user loyalty, most app crashes are not of the deliberate nature. There are a plethora of crash testing and reporting solutions, the most popular being Crashlytics (part of Twitter Fabric), Apteligent (formerly Crittercism), TestFlight (Apple) and HockeyApp (Microsoft). They each provide a client-side SDK to capture and report crash reports and a server-side service to to manage and analyze those reports.
    • Phased Releases – Alpha, Beta, Staged Rollout
      Android application developers can take advantage of the alpha, beta and staged rollout capabilities available as part of Google Play. For alpha and beta tests, production APK is not required. Developers have a number of options to target specific groups for their alpha and beta tests. They also can utilize feedback channels available within the app to obtain feedback. Staged rollout allows a developer to progress from alpha and beta testing to production in a phased manner, constantly collecting feedback and metrics, comparing against baseline (if available) and progressing to 100 percent in production based on satisfactory results. Developers on the iOS platform can avail of beta testing capabilities provided by TestFlight and can invite up to 2,000 beta testers via email to test the App pre-production.
    • Direct In-App Feedback
      Gone are the days when email, messenger or app store comments provided the only semblance of feedback. Customers increasingly expect to communicate via the app, and provide feedback without leaving it. Meanwhile, mobile app developers have better to tools to scale that feedback and manage it effectively to address bugs, prioritize features and get context—screen shots, system information, etc.—for specific feedback. HelpStack is an open source framework that makes in-app customer feedback relatively easy, so they can report issues, attach screen shots, embed device information and more. Customer feedback can be reported via email, or help desk integrations are available.
      Apptentive, Crittercism, HelpShift, UserVoice and Parature are some of the notable commercial solutions that enable in-app feedback.
    • Metrics & Performance
      When business analytics do not provide provide adequate answers, diving deeper into technical data might provide insights into what is going wrong. Two key mobile customer feedback metrics worth tracking is app uptime and performance. App uptime helps identify customers facing crashes while performance issues could be impacting engagement rates. Some of the tools mentioned in this article do provide an APM solution that enables monitoring of these key metrics.
    • Experimentation & Analytics
      A/B testing or multivariate testing is a data-driven experimentation approach to promoting app feature changes. While some of the above tools enabled you as a developer to better listen to your app community, A/B split testing allows you to validate your hypothesis and invest further in features and capabilities that demonstrate lift.
      Apptimize, Optimizely and MixPanel are few of the available commercial products that offer multivariate testing capabilities that can be incorporated in some situations without code modification or app updates. They also provide abilities to compare test campaigns against baseline and promote features that demonstrate positive feedback.

    Incorporating Mobile Customer Feedback In Continuous Delivery

    Leveraging data-driven tools throughout the continuous delivery pipeline increases the odds of a quality and high-utility mobile app. Even in situations where it is not possible to expose apps prematurely, it is possible to “dog food” your app—a term referencing a team or company that actively utilizes its own product with the intent of testing it. For example, frequent builds tied to developer commits enable alpha build testers and other team members to download and test the app. Meanwhile, beta builds can be downloaded by other members of the company. As release candidates emerge the beta community can be expanded to include members of the app community.

    mobile customer feedback

    So take steps to incorporate mobile customer feedback loops at every step of the development cycle and garner a majority of the app user’s engagement time. Would love to hear how you and your teams are leveraging tools and techniques to build better apps and continuously listen to customer feedback.
