Other services
Besides all the applications and tools mentioned on the previous pages, we can also offer a wide range of additional services and support solutions for your project. We can develop a custom API interface for you, integrate online tools, and connect systems. We can assist with DevOps or conduct a software project audit. Additionally, we can focus on testing your project, review the UI/UX and design proposals, and provide you with analyses and consultations.
UI/UX and design proposals
The English abbreviations UI and UX stand for user interface and user experience. The quality of the user interface determines the overall user experience, meaning the user’s satisfaction with the software. The purpose of the user interface is to facilitate visual navigation within the software, organize control and graphical elements, provide feedback to the user, and so on. When the UI fulfills these functions, the application is clear and easy to use, allowing the user to perform desired actions without unnecessary clicks. As a result, the user feels comfortable within the application environment and is satisfied with the product.
Design proposals are closely related to UI – they are essentially the building blocks of the user interface, but unlike graphical and control elements, they are not visible. The user does not directly interact with the designs, yet they are crucial for the final appearance of the UI.
API
The abbreviation API (Application Programming Interface) means an interface for programming applications. Simply put, it is a set of functions, procedures, or protocols of a certain library that form software components. This allows programmers not to write everything from scratch but to use these components when developing an application.
We focus primarily on Web APIs – this solution enables, for example, extending the original functionalities of a website or web application. The main advantage is that there is no need to program a new function from the beginning; it is enough to connect to the layer of another application. Web APIs thus ensure communication between two platforms by exchanging data.
A simple example: A client wants their business or restaurant website to display a location on Google Maps. The easiest solution is to connect the client’s website to the Google Maps API, which calls the code layer that displays the relevant data. Similarly, APIs can be used in mobile applications that provide users with certain real-time data – for example, weather forecast apps, currency exchange rates, and so on.
Data scraping
Data scraping is a method of automated extraction of structured data from websites. The extracted data is then converted into a practical format and intended for further machine processing. Nowadays, web scraping is almost exclusively performed using automated tools called web crawlers or web scrapers.
The main purpose of data scraping is to obtain contacts, harvest web content, or monitor and compare certain values over time (e.g., price movements of a given product, increase or decrease in supply/demand, etc.). The process has two phases — loading the page (similar to using a web browser) and extracting data (which involves parsing, searching, or reformatting the content).
Given that websites today are increasingly dynamic (meaning their content changes more rapidly), developing an API or other tool for data scraping requires sufficient knowledge and especially practical experience. Our team is proud to offer, among other solutions, a web application utilizing Engerio scraping technology. If you are interested in a custom solution in the field of web scraping, please contact us and we will be happy to learn about your project!
Analyses and Consultations
If you are not interested in software development but only need advice on an IT issue, want to consult the suitability of a certain approach or solution, or have an analysis of your existing project carried out, don’t hesitate to contact us — together we will definitely come up with something!
Application Testing
Testing is an essential part of ensuring the quality of any IT project, and our developers are happy to help. We offer manual, automated, and penetration testing.
Manual testing is performed by a human tester who follows defined test cases—sets of conditions that determine whether the system meets the requirements and behaves as expected.
Automated testing is increasingly replacing manual testing. It is carried out using scripting languages such as Python and is designed to verify functionality in repetitive scenarios by running short testing programs.
Penetration testing focuses on system security. The goal is to simulate various attacks and attempts to breach the system's defenses. The purpose is not to fix the issues but to identify and highlight potential vulnerabilities so that the system owner can address them.
DevOps
The English acronym DevOps comes from the combination of “development” and “operations” and refers to an approach to software development based on close communication and collaboration between developers and IT operations specialists.
Our developers can help you with cloud infrastructure management or the creation of efficient processes. We primarily use AWS cloud platforms, but we’re also experienced with Azure and Google Cloud. For infrastructure configuration, we work with Terraform.
