You know that you could be testing more to catch bugs earlier, but QA testing can take a lot of time, effort and resources to do it right. MuukTest can get growing engineering teams up to 95% coverage of end-to-end tests in just 3 months. Our QA experts create, manage, maintain, and update E2E tests on the MuukTest Platform for your web, API, and mobile apps at record speed. We begin exploratory and negative tests after achieving 100% regression coverage within 8 weeks to uncover bugs and increase coverage. The time you spend on development is reduced by managing your testing frameworks, scripts, libraries and maintenance. We also proactively identify flaky tests and false test results to ensure the accuracy of your tests. Early and frequent testing allows you to detect errors in the early stages your development lifecycle. This reduces the burden of technical debt later on.

Neptune DXP
(2 Ratings)
The Neptune DX Platform [Neptune DXP] is a rapid application development platform. This means we build on a low-code/no-code app development approach, enabling Neptune DXP to digitize and optimize business processes and user interfaces. At its core, our enterprise app development platform consists of two modules with comparable functionality and approaches: the Neptune DXP - SAP Edition (an SAP ABAP add-on) and Neptune DXP - Open Edition (Node.js-based edition). Both installation variants of Neptune DXP enable faster enterprise application development, code reusability and compact change management. Our approach is that Neptune DXP with our two editions offers both, the leading central platform for integrated and scalable app development and, thanks to our direct NetWeaver ABAP integration, the best interface available on the market to all SAP systems (incl. SAP S/4HANA and C/4HANA).
