Introduction to Playwright: An Automation Testing Tool
Automation testing plays a crucial role in the software development lifecycle by automating the execution of tests, validating software functionality, and ensuring the quality of the application. It involves using specialized tools and scripts to simulate user interactions and compare actual results with expected outcomes. It is a cross-browser automation testing tool that can be used to test web and mobile apps. It is built on top of the Chromium engine, which means that it can be used to test any website or app that is built on top of Chromium. It can also be used to generate test data and to report on the results of tests.

Using FHIR to Improve Patient Engagement
In today's rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, patient engagement has become a crucial aspect of providing quality care, as it empowers individuals to actively participate in their own healthcare journey. When patients are engaged, they become more informed, motivated, and collaborative partners in their care, leading to improved health outcomes and overall satisfaction. Sadly, that isn't what the real world figures show. And that is exactly where FHIR come into play. From personalized health records to mobile applications and interoperable health systems, Gaurav explores the diverse applications of FHIR that can significantly enhance patient engagement. Join Gaurav Porwal, ADoE, GeekyAnts, in this episode of GeekSpeak, as he discusses the transformative power of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR).

Dart Frog: A Minimalistic Backend for Flutter
Flutter is a frontend framework that is used, and preferred, by developers around the world. However, when building apps, mere frontend isn't enough, backend is just as important, and conventionally the backend isn't built using Flutter or Dart. This is where, Dart Frog comes in to play. It enables Flutter and Dart devs to build backend using Flutter as well. In this video, Jeevan Chandra Joshi, Software Engineer - II, GeekyAnts, talks all there is about Dart Frog, a simple yet powerful backend framework designed specifically for Flutter apps.

How I Built A 2D Game In React Native
Flappy Bird, when launched back in 2013 became an instant success. It was a basic 2D game where you had to just touch the screen to keep the bird afloat in the air, and guide its way through obstacles. In his latest side project, our geek Darshan Ponikar, Software Engineer - I, has tried to recreate the same, in React Native. All the graphics of the game were drawn using the Skia engine, and Zustand was using to manage the state of the game. In this video, he discusses game assets and logic to help readers understand how to create a similar game, while he also walks us through the development process, including how he implemented the game mechanics, graphics, and sound effects. He also shares some insights on how he optimized the game for performance and improved the user experience.

Flutter Web Renderers: CanvasKit vs. HTML
Web rendering, on a very basic level, refers to the process through which, the code that you've written for your app, is converted into intractable elements on a web-page, that the users can see, and take actions with. When writing your app in Flutter, you have the option two choose between two different web renderers, CanvasKit and HTML. In this episode of GeekSpeak, Uttam Kini, Software Engineer - I, talks about web rendering, the top two choices of renderers for Flutter, compares the two, and shares his thoughts on the best one, that you should go with.

Rapid Usability Testing
Your application's design plays a major role in defining how usable the app is going to be. The user experience significantly depends on the way the UI and the UX of an app are designed. But sometimes, a seemingly good UX, or even a UX backed by a significant research, doesn't perform as well as it is supposed to be. And, in such a situation, getting to the root of the problem is very important, since it hampers the platform, and by extension, the company's performance. Usability testing the answer to this situation. While, there are various ways to conduct usability testing, in this episode of GeekSpeak, Soma Raj Laxmi, UI/UX Trainee, talks about Rapid Usability Testing. She gives a brief overview of the method, and talks about its advantages, need and how to actually conduct the same.

Isolates in Dart & Flutter
As advanced as the applications are these days, they stand to offer a lot of functionality, even for heavy tasks. But, running such a heavy task can often affect the fluidity of the UI of the app. So what's the solution here? The solution is to create a separate isolate, to execute the heavy task. In this episode of GeekSpeak, Sahil Garg, Software Engineer - I, discusses, all there is about isolates in Dart and Flutter.

Supabase - An Open Source Firebase Alternative
Firebase is one of the most widely used backend platforms for backend app development, as well as hosting. While it is a fairly capable platform, there are instances where the features offered by it are just not enough. And that's where an alternative such as Supabase comes handy. It has many advantages over Firebase, with the key one being that it is open source, hence there's zero lock-in.
