>>> Bugs, mobile apps, programming, software engineering, and Finotes.

Detecting performance issues, memory leaks, crashes, abnormal memory usage, API call failures, error response code, duplicate calls and delays, wrong return value in functions, execution delays and exceptions in mobile apps is always a challenge. Even more challenging is detecting bugs in live mobile apps. A combination of better software engineering practices supported by efficient tools can help developers to address this challenge.

Finotes is a lightweight tool that helps in detecting bugs in mobile apps. SDK for Android is available in Java and Kotlin. iOS and watchOS framework is available in Swift and Objective-C.

Here we blog about good software engineering and programming practices, bugs, mobile apps, and Finotes.
