If
you are into e-commerce, you might well take advantage of Magento and
its power punched extensions to strengthen your e-commerce online
platform. If you have not yet read about the advantages – here is a
quick summary of what can be done and how we at mindfire solutions
have done it for our clients.
At Mindfire we have expert
Magento developers with a good exposure to all the features of
Magento and who have implemented them in building applications for
our clients. Our offshore Magento Development team takes Magento

Mindfire’s Offshore Magento Development India
vertical has rich experience in Magento Customization, Custom Magento
Design, Magento Extensions Development, Magento Template Development,
Magento Mobile Development and Magento Custom Module development.
Mindfire’s Magento Development Services have been used by global
customers who vouch for our expertise, quality of work and commitment
to business growth of our customers.
At Mindfire we have
worked for projects involving various challenging features and work.
For example recently we worked on a project which involved Magento
and vTiger integration. The customer had a CRM application (Vtiger)
with inventory tracking and wanted product sales website using an
existing e-commerce product (Magento) for quick turnaround. The
challenge was to bring the CRM data to the web while keeping the CRM
data in sync with the web based e-commerce application for inventory
tracking, sales orders and customer management.
Another
challenge we faced as we proceeded with development and overcame was
the mapping of entity attributes/datatypes in the two separate
systems that had their own schemas and ways for storing customer,
product and sales order data. We architected and developed a solution
using the codeigniter (PHP) framework to synchronize the information
between the two systems; Magento - one of the biggest online shopping
solutions and vTiger CRM, a branch from the Sugar CRM code.
The
bridge requires some initial configuration in order for it to work.
The application requires the user to enter the Magento and VTiger API
credentials in order to connect to their API's and access data. We
used PHP SOAP client for accessing Magento APIs and PHP CURL for
connecting to vTigers API/database.

For
most businesses WordPress is the favorite CMS. So what are those
ingredients that make it the CMS of choice? We all know that choosing
a CMS for a website is the most crucial first task for a webmaster.
The chosen CMS will play a great role in defining how the particular
website is created as well as what tools will be available for
creating a desired website.
Here are a few advantages that
WordPress has over the gamut of CMSes that are currently available
and sets it apart from them:
Speed
of development:The
speed with which WordPress comes out with its multitudes of minor and
major upgrades is unmatched in the CMS market. Additionally,
WordPress makes it extremely convenient to update both the core and
complimentary plugins. The presence of an agile Wordpress
CMS Development
community ensures that upgrades are readily available.
Greater
Security:At
one point of time, websites built on WordPress faced the maximum
number of hacks and security issues. Today however, with the
availability of many security plugins for WordPress which makes the
work of managing the security even simpler, WordPress is once again
the most widely used CMS.
Higher
Flexibility:The
idea behind creating WordPress was to be able to utilize plugins to
create just about any type of website that a webmaster might need.
WordPress which no longer remains a simple blogging platform, has
graduated into the most powerful CMS that can be used to create
full-fledged websites, sales pages, squeeze pages, and even
membership sites.
Search-Engine
Friendliness:Only
a few content management systems have the advantage of being search
engine friendly. WordPress, with its library of plugins has been
designed specifically to be search engine friendly. This allows for
amazingly fast load times coupled with a lightweight core which makes
adjusting the settings of particular websites to meet the needs of
search engines easy.
Smaller
learning curve:
Compared to other Content Management Systems, WordPress seems to have
a much smaller learning curve. The back-end is designed to be very
intuitive and user friendly which helps to download and install
plugins from inside the dashboard. The ease of updating the core and
plugins with a single click and the flexibility of having the updates
notified on the dashboard whenever they are available substantially
helps in making it the CMS of choice.
Less
Resource Consuming:WordPress
consumes less server resources than any other available CMS and does
not load the server as such.
If you finally choose WordPress
as your desired CMS, then you may seek WordPress experts who would
help you set up your site in time with full functionality. We would
be glad to assist if you hire our expert WordPress development
services.
Mindfire Solutions is a 12-year old leading Software
Development and IT services company with a strong track record of
working with SMBs worldwide on projects as these. Our 750+ spirited
software engineers located across three advanced development centers
in India have collectively executed more than 1000 projects for our

The
conference Board’s CEO Challenge Survey 2006 which was conducted in
July gave out some interesting facts about CEOs and the challenges
they were facing in running their small businesses. Improving Sales
pipeline visibility was the highest priority need voted by 76% CEOs.
While Increasing sales revenues was still there at 65% CEOs voting it
as a challenge, the interesting thing to note was that most of the
top hunks in the organisations, about 57% of them were keen on
improving customer data quality and management.
And when a
year later, these CEOs were asked to take up Salesforce platform and
asked the question whether their needs were met by salesforce – it
was a rhetoric Yes! 110% of the CEOs said Customer data quality and
management has become smooth! Salesforce helps CEOs manage, measure
and grow their businesses in a single dashboard. There are a lot of
metrics including Sales Metrics, Service and Marketing metrics which
can be measured in Salesforce. However, every business is unique and
each business might need customizations to the salesforce
application. That is where you can hire Salesforce experts who can do
Salesforce CRM customization to perfectly fit into the needs of your
enterprise.
Salesforce development services enable Salesforce
CRM customers to customize and extend Salesforce. Salesforce.com is
one of the most popular and powerful customer relationship management
(CRM) products in the world today. Since every business is unique,
Salesforce CRM is by design highly customizable. To suit one’s
unique business needs better, Salesforce CRM customers usually get
some Salesforce customization done. Business needs evolving over
time may also necessitate further Salesforce customization and
extension. Whereas simple customization requires point-and-click and
basic understanding of Salesforce.com system, more powerful
Salesforce development requires knowledge of Apex programming
language and Visualforce framework.
Salesforce development
service providers, such as Mindfire Solutions, come in handy in times
such as these. With years of experience of providing Salesforce
development services
for a variety of industries and customer needs, they can make the
process of customization faster and worry-free. The Salesforce
development team at Mindfire has helped many clients in adapting
Salesforce.com functionality to their company’s existing processes
and workflows and in improving them to make them more efficient and
effective. Mindfire has made deep use of Apex classes, Visualforce
pages, S-controls, Triggers, Views, Page Layouts, Workflows and
generated advanced reports and dashboards and have successfully
delivered many high-quality projects for global clients across
diverse industries such as Software, FMCG, Insurance, Media,
Utilities, Tourism, etc.
Companies providing Salesforce
development services, such as Mindfire, can also help with Salesforce
migration (migrating your customer data from other applications to
Salesforce) and Salesforce integration (with your organization's
on-premise applications or external cloud services). They can also
help you create powerful custom applications on the Force.com PaaS
(Platform-as-a-Service) cloud platform.
If you are an existing
Salesforce.com user and want to extend its capabilities or new to
Salesforce.com, migrating from other technologies, endless
possibilities await you. With professional Salesforce development
services, you can make a customized Salesforce CRM your competitive
advantage.
First
of all – Why is QTP Testing needed? And then Why is QTP Keyword
driven testing important at all? The main advantage of KDT (Keyword
driven testing) is its low cost for maintenance. If there is a change
to the test case, only the test case file needs to be changed and the
startup and driver scripts don’t even need to change. Result –
Quicker turnaround and less cost. To know what all components and
files are present in QTP testing – let us take a look at it in more
detail.
The basic components of QTP Keyword driven testing
framework are the control file, the test cases file, the startup
script, the driver script and the utility script. The control file is
the key of the Keyword driven testing approach and contains the list
of all the test cases which need to be executed. Test cases file
contains the detailed steps in which order a test case needs to be
executed. The startup script executes the first step and initiates
the sequence. Driver scripts read checks for the presence of keywords
and calls the specific utility scripts for specific
functions.
Software QA Testing is an essential part of
software development life cycle since it lets you measure your
software quality. Without testing, there is no way to verify that
whether your software works correctly or not. It has been long 12
years for Mindfire’s Software QA and Testing team to serve global
customers as a trusted offshore partner for QA
and testing services.
One of key strength of our Software testing team is QTP Automation
Testing and Descriptive programing in QTP. Having 6 years of
experience in QTP and Descriptive programming in QTP, all our QA
engineers are QTP certified. Our QTP team is well capable on both
manual as well as automation testing. In the automation part our team
is efficient in ‘record and play’ and QTP Keyword Driven
Testing.
Keyword driven testing is a software testing
technique that separates much of the programming work of test
automation from the actual test design. Mindfire Solutions test
automation and QTP testing team is very skillful in this technique to
server our client to develop earlier and makes the tests easier to
maintain. When a software application or a product coming to the QTP
testing team, our QTP testing professional thoroughly analysis the
flow of the application/ product with all relevant document and
prepare testcase to execute. Our testing and QA lead is always in
touch with the client to update the status of the project beside the
daily work report and maintaining bug lifecycle.

WordPress
CMS is no doubt one of the top finalists which you would choose when
you are deciding on choosing the CMS for your website. Why? The prime
reason being its highly active and responsive community and the
robustness of the platform.
Once you are decided on that and
then if you are looking for a company who can provide custom
WordPress development services, you might actually pause and ask
yourself - First of all why would I need to do custom WordPress
development? Is it because you are trying to create a brand new
website for your company and would like to use WordPress as the
content management system?
Obviously, there are subtle or
stark differences in the nature of operation or the business needs of
any two companies. And that is what makes customization such a
necessity. Hence, if you are building a website with WordPress as the
CMS of of your choice, you would definitely want to include some
customized WordPress tools into your website. WordPress is
undoubtedly the best blogging tool that provides an SEO optimized
platform to post content online. WordPress helps to create websites
that have a number of applications and powerful content management
system by allowing customization of templates, themes, widgets, tags
etc. Choosing WordPress Content Management System as the CMS of
choice also makes it easier for you to tap into the vast resources
that are available from the steadily growing WordPress community.

open source was an easy target for hackers. But now, security issues
which were a menace earlier are immediately dealt with thanks to the
alert community who come up with patches and fixes quite often.
