While Apple and Google prefer to have their own events separately, almost everyone in the industry would attend Mobile World Congress. While you won’t be seeing Google launch any new phone in MWC 2018, you would see an extensive presence of Google showcasing the latest version of Android.

It is hard to say what would be seen in the event, here are a few expectations for this year’s MWC:

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus

This one is a little more than an expectation. We know for sure that Samsung Galaxy S9 phones are going to be debuted in Mobile World Congress 2018 since the official invites have already been sent out for the same. Samsung has confirmed that the phones would be powered by an advanced AI-ready chip.

Apart from the things we know for sure, there are certain rumors that have been floating around in the last few months. Rumor has it that there would be a camera upgrade in both the models. It is expected that S9 Plus would have a dual-lens camera and both the models would have fingerprint sensors at the back. Another rumor insiders have tipped is that Samsung would be trying to emulate the Face ID unlock.

Sony Xperia XZ2 Pro and XZ Premium 2

Sony always shows off new hardware at MWC. It did it last year, and it is expected to do it this year as well. One can expect Sony to join the bezel-less bandwagon with the rest of the industry. Sony hasn’t made any statements officially yet but we know for sure that it has scheduled a press event. The names Xperia XZ2 Pro and Xperia XZ Premium 2 have come up much too often, hence it is expected that these would be the new flagships which Sony would launch in MWC 2018.

LG V30

It is almost certain that LG would be launching an upgraded version of V30 at MWC. The upgraded V30 would be completed with AI which would help it’s onboard camera deliver better image recognition. This would help it adjust the settings better according to what you’re shooting. Moreover, the phone would see a better Google Assistant with new and improved voice commands.

Apart from LG V30, there isn’t much that LG would bring to MWC. We wanted to see LG G7 but it is rumored to be launched later this year. Well, LG had already told that it would release fewer mobiles in the future so there isn’t much we can look forward to in the event when it comes to LG.

Nokia 9

While Nokia 8 was really good, it still had to struggle to stand out due to the tough competition. MWC 2018 would see Nokia releasing Nokia 9 which would be the first Nokia flagship ever since the time when HMD Global took over Nokia. Rumors have it that the phone would have a 5.5-inch QHD OLED screen, tiny bezels, a water-resistant metallic body, and dual-lens camera both on the back as well as the front of the phone.

These were what excited us as a top mobile app development company with a team of mobility enthusiasts. What excites you the most about the upcoming event? Let us know in the comments below! And if you found this exciting enough, spread the word about it by sharing the blog.

The post MWC 2018: What Can Be Expected This Year? appeared first on Mobile App Development | BrainMobi Blogs and News.

Requirement Analysis

From the initial phase of mobile application testing and quality assurance, a member of the QA team should be involved in the project(requirement discussion meetings with the client, internal discussion meetings). All the related documents(SRS, FRS, Wireframes, Design screens) of that project should be shared with QA team and QA Team Lead. After that, the QA team goes through the requirement documents with all the details in order to identify the testable requirements. In case of any confusion, the QA team may set up a meeting with the technical lead, business analyst, and/or the project manager in order to clarify its doubts.

Test Planning

Once the QA team understands all the requirements, there would be a requirement discussion meeting with the QA Team Lead in which the team would discuss all the information analyzed while understanding the requirements.

After that, the QA Team Lead would prepare a test plan document on behalf of the discussion and would share it with the Project Manager.

Things that would be drafted in that document are:
Objective, Name of Resources Working and Their Roles and Responsibilities, Estimation of Testing Effort, Testing Strategies to be Followed, Approach of Testing.

Test Case Development

In this phase of mobile application testing and quality assurance, the QA team would start preparing test cases and share a rough time estimate required for preparing them with the QA Team Lead.

After that, the QA team would share the test cases with any senior personnel such as the Technical Lead or the Project Manager for approval. Once the test cases get approved, they are to be shared with the developers and the developers are then expected to start developing the application by following those test cases.

Alternatively, a general unit test cases document could be prepared by QA team which would include all the test cases for fields like Full Name, Username, Email Address, Mobile Number, Gender, Address fields etc required in forms, on the basis of which, the developers would start the development of forms(Registration, Login, My Profile, Contact Us etc.) Meanwhile, QA team prepares the functional and UI test cases for the project.

Test Environment Setup

For web applications there should be two environments:

• Staging
• Testing

The QA team should perform testing in a test environment only.

For mobile applications, the proper version of that build is maintained by the developers and the QA team maintains the record for all the builds in their system.

For websites and web apps, versions must be maintained by the developers everytime a new build of the website or web app is developed. The same is shared with QA team. ie: If a developer is sharing any build for the first time then version can be 1.0(followed by date) and version increment would be based on the number of updated builds developer would share.

Test data should be prepared by QA team to minimize the test execution time and for best results of mobile application testing and quality assurance.

Test Execution

Once the developers complete a module, they perform a quick round of unit testing and then share a mail with the QA team including the following points:

• Test URL for Website or Web app/Build Version
• Module Name
• Things to be Tested in that module
• Things not to be tested in that module

Upon receiving the mail, the QA team performs a health check on the application. It can be done by performing a round of Smoke/Adhoc testing to check the basic functionality of that module within 1 to 2 hours depending on the vastness of the module. Once the health check has been done, the QA team would send a Pass/Fail email to the respective team with the status of the same.
If the module passes the health check, then the QA team proceeds with exhaustive testing by using test cases.
If the module fails the health check, then the QA team rejects the build and doesn’t proceed any further with the tests.

Note: In case the developers share an updated build containing any new functionalities or fixes then the QA team tests that build only after completing and sharing the status of the previous build.

Bug Reporting

While performing testing, if QA team find bugs, then those bugs are reported on Mantis. Not a single bug is logged on excel, doc, mail or drive.

At the time of bug reporting, the Bug Summary is made properly, having steps to reproduce, Screenshots(if any), Priority based on criticality, and is then assigned to the respective developers.

After the completion of testing, the QA team sends a mail to the developers and the project manager in which it gives the status as follows:

• Testing Performed on(URL/ Build Version)
• Module Name
• Things Tested in that Module
• Things Not Tested in that Module
• Number of Issues Logged on Mantis

Bugs Verification and Regression testing

In this phase of mobile application testing and quality assurance, the developers update the status of the bugs on the same loop in which the QA team had given the status of testing. The mail consists of the following:

• Test URL for Web app/Build Version for Mobile app
• Module Name for which the bugs had been fixed
• Number of bugs that were fixed
• Number of bugs that were not fixed

And if the developers found any bug to be ignorable or fixable later, then a proper comment with reasons is provided corresponding to that bug.

If any new module has been integrated into the same build, then that is also shared in the same mail by following the aforementioned steps.

After getting the update, the QA team starts performing the bug verification by testing again and updates the status accordingly. After a round, regression testing is performed to verify that the modules working properly haven’t been affected due to the new implementations and bug fixing.

For testing a new module, the same process is followed.

Test Closure

Once the testing/bug verification of all the modules is completed, the QA team provides a final Sign Off which includes the following points:

• Build Version
• Modules Tested
• Number of issues logged on Mantis
• Number of issues closed on Mantis
• Exceptions (if any) based on client/internal requirement

Whenever there is a change request based on client feedback or internal feedback, or if there is any client call/meeting or internal meeting for any project, then the QA team and the developers are a part of it and a MOM is shared with respective team members.

The point is, that we are a forgetful lot which is slowly turning out to be a great competitor to goldfishes. We are not to be blamed though, for we are living in a world full of distractions leading our minds astray all the time. And in times like these, it is more than useful to have someone(or as in our case, something) to remind us about various things. This is where the reminder app on your mobile phone comes in.

Reminder apps have an immense potential to make big changes in your life. They can act as that booster which takes your productivity to a next level every single day. Be it by helping you find time in busy schedules, or by reminding you that you have to send that important mail, or perhaps even by telling you that you must drink a glass of water(Aqualert, if you’re thinking what I think you’re thinking). These apps have a lot of potential to help you get better in a lot of regards.

They can make life easier by helping you manage your tasks better. Most apps provide you the feature of setting priorities to the tasks which you are to be reminded about so that you can prioritize the tasks at hand properly. Some apps have the calendar included so that you can be right on schedule for weeks, months, and even years at a stretch! And that’s quite a boost in productivity, wouldn’t you agree?

Another great benefit of reminder apps is that staying on time all the time slowly becomes a habit. For example, if there is an app reminding you to exercise at 5 PM, after 40 days of following the reminder, you would end up getting into the habit of exercising at 5 PM.

All of this is pretty normal and is something that everyone does. But what if you could be reminded against doing things you shouldn’t be doing? What if you could be reminded that you are on a diet every time you came near the bakery or the fried chicken shop? Or if you could be reminded that you are trying to quit smoking every time you smoked? Wouldn’t it be good if all of these could be implemented?

You might think that the aforementioned wouldn’t be possible, but with geolocation, you can choose to be reminded every time you came near the stores you wish to avoid. On to the next possibility, to be reminded to quit smoking every time you smoked, all you need is a wearable which can monitor your heartbeat. While you feel that you are relaxed when you smoke, your body acts differently. Your heart beats a lot faster than it usually does, and that is something which can be easily sensed by wearable devices.

BrainMobi is a top mobile app development company which understands that some utility apps are indispensable. Hence we make sans pareil quality reminder apps which can incorporate every feature that you intend to add to it. We make the apps simple while loading them with all the features that your idea requires. Our UI/UX team takes care of how to keep the users glued to your app while our development team ensures that the apps run smoothly.

Swift

Many believe that the language will be one of the most used languages and has all the potential to reshape the future.

Released in June 2014 by Apple, Swift has gained immense popularity across all the possible realms of the iOS mobile app and Web development. With latest framework and libraries, the tool becomes the primary choice for developers which allows to code with Objective C. The language forays into the apple ecosystem with efficient APIs, Cocoa and Cocoa Touch. Apple has been ingraining all the possibilities to reduce all the scope for vulnerabilities associated with Objective C. There are so many other attractions when the language is used for coding cutting-edge mobile apps.

According to TNW, Swift is one of the fastest-growing languages. Google is also considering to include Swift as their official language for coding Android apps and if the prediction is true, the demand for Swift developers will skyrocket than any other popular language.

Meanwhile. the language is used to code iOS and Apple web for all the available platforms but since it’s open source and available for use. It will be beneficial for those who pick up the language early in time.

JavaScript + HTML

JavaScript is one of the third most popular languages used world wide to create application up above client could imagine. When used in combination with HTML, the amalgamation becomes more powerful and has greater benefits for mobile apps.Both are religiously used by developers to create different types of application including games.

HTML is one of the most prominent languages when it comes to web development. With simpler ways to insert complex data types, HTML is a preferred choice of top web developers. Whereas JavaScript is popular to be used on multiple platforms.

PHP

HyperText Preprocessor (PHP) is an open source server side scripting language developed by Zend technologies in 1995. Initially, the language was used for building websites but now it’s used for general purpose programming.

server side scripting, command line scripting and for coding applications. Using PHP, the app can be used to write complete Android, iOS, and windows apps.  According to many statistics like Jobs Tractor, PHP is the most popular programming language. The percentage of developers located worldwide that use PHP language is 78.6%.  It ensures that the language can easily be considered for building your next app.

C#

C# is known as C Sharp. It is a multi-paradigm programming language, which is object and component oriented. It’s a general-purpose programming language developed by Microsoft. Appeared first in 2000, C# is developed and introduced by Microsoft as Swift was introduced by Apple and both share a common characteristic to rule the world of mobile app development in coming years. Developer Economics Survey states, 38% mobile developers use C# for part of their work while 16% use C# as the main language.

BuildFireJS

BuildFire.JS leverages the BuildFire SDK and Javascript to allow developers to rapidly build mobile apps with the power of the BuildFire SDK & BuildFire backend along with JavaScript seems to be a great combination by top mobile app developers worldwide to develop apps. BuildFire.JS was built to have a flexible architecture to give developers the option to utilize any client-side Javascript framework they like including: jQuery, Angular, React, Underscore and many more.

With BuildFire already having plugins that cover 70% or more of the common business use cases, developers only need to build specific functionality that’s unique to the client, rather than build the whole thing from scratch. This helps a development team to prepare mobile apps in less time and labour.

At BrainMobi, our professional developers are experienced to perfectly match the compatibility of a language with the theme of the mobile app.

Which language out of these is your favourite? Mention in the comment section below.

Who says a small business doesn’t need an app?

Are you a business owner of a small scale of production? Ever wondered how you could multiply your business growth with a mobile app? Get your facts checked if you not in agreement with the ever popular mobile revolution. If your business is yet to go mobile, it’s missing out to create a rapidly growing marketing platform. These days many small businesses are undecided whether to develop their own mobile apps or not. To stay ahead of the competition, a mobile app is your weapon to win over the customer and maintain a business relationship to some extent. It will help them reach their marketing goals faster and with greater success.

Focusing on new installs alone will grow your business

There are cases whereby we come across apps that are downloaded only once and are completely forgotten. Bad user experience could be an evil factor to bring down market reputation. Most of the time people tend to forget what are the applications that they have downloaded. It’s mandatory to remind users of your app with regular updates and notifications. At BrainMobi, we emphasise equally on quality and quantity. Here, quantity refers to the number of downloads and quality refers to the flawless user experience which would lead to higher conversion rate and better ROI.

Settling down for one platform is sufficient

There are various devices and platforms available in the market. The misconception to rely on one single platform will lead to missing out on a huge user base across other available platforms. It’s good when you choose a single platform for screening the idea and observe user feedback, but solely relying on a single platform is a blunder. Consider every popular device and platform to avoid disappointment and any scope of discontinuity in service for your valuable users.

Open-source libs minimize hard work

Just look beyond the mentioned top-10 Tools and Personalization apps – you’ll find tens of thousands of app analogues.

The functional core of such apps is usually based upon one of the popular open-source libs, and their development, obviously, didn’t take much time or effort. It’s a fact that top mobile app developers across the globe rely on such analogues but excellence in work come across with machine and platform perfect coding.

However, who would install a poorly-performing, ugly-designed app analogue, instead of a stylish highly-reliable app by a trustworthy developer, displayed on top of search results?

I wouldn’t, would you?

Idea is everything

With countless apps already published, chances are your idea is not entirely unique. Even if you do have a new angle and have a novel idea, it only has the potential to do whatever you plan on making it do. The idea is nothing without the execution.

A lot of budding entrepreneurs across the globe believe that ideas are the key to success. It’s a hard truth to bear, but ideas are worthless on their own. What matters is how wonderfully you enhance every minute aspect of mobility into it. The fate of a mobile app also depends on three major factors, which are :

• The right timing
• The right market
• The right place

In other words, successful apps are products that fit their markets and gain user attention at right time.

But product/market fit is about discovery, not the certainty. It’s like playing roulette. For example, if Twitter continued building features to support their early audience—status-updaters—they would have missed out on much larger markets.

A well-executed and a well-marketed app have a much greater chance of success.

Above points are only the trailer to a much bigger picture and a long list of misconceptions which further leads to disappointment and mobile phenomenon. Make sure you are not the one blaming the mobile era when you are prone to one such misconception. Discuss your idea with the top mobile app developer and work with the right team of mobile professionals.

The post Top Five Deadly Myths of Mobile App Development appeared first on Mobile App Development | BrainMobi Blogs and News.

Characteristics of Mobile Application Development

In contrast traditional desktop applications, mobile apps demand service every month to provide an immersive user experience to valuable customers. Here is a list of challenges posed for top mobile app development companies while using Agile approach:

• Short life cycles
• Short development cycles
• Limited hardware
• Frequently changing user demands
• Must be easily updateable
• Must download quickly

All of these characteristics collectively bring more tension for top mobile app developers to carefully choose an approach which can reduce wastage of labour & time while bringing a sign a relief for both clients and development agencies. But how it would be made possible to build high-quality mobile apps across such mayhem around development approaches? The answer is Agile development.

What is Agile?

Agile application development is the approach of developing a product where the whole process is divided into a series of development cycles. In fact, when using Agile for mobile app development, the entire array of tasks is divided into multiple sub-tasks, each of which is a separate mini-project for the development team.

Assignments are distributed to the concerned team of experts as well as teams are also divided to follow the agile methodology. Each assignment is a piece of job and treated as a unit of an independent project. Under the influence of the agile approach, companies successfully reduce the scope of development risks, including errors to a great extent.

Agile applications development also accounts for regular communication within and between groups; constant interaction, both in project development environment and between customer and contractor. This means that if a customer or project leader suddenly raises new demands to the product, it bears virtually no effect on the time spent and app marketing. Changes that are commanded, as a result, are further assigned to one of the teams which do not slow down the project as a whole.

Why use Agile?

When choosing a development approach, it is equally important to understand the advantages. With the Agile methodology, below are the following qualities :

• Constant supply of valuable client software;
• Ability to make changes to the project and to put forward new demands to it at any stage of development (even before the release);
• Constant close contact between the customer and developers at all stages of the project;
• Regular delivery of the project’s software elements;
• Comfortable working conditions for both developers and the customer;
• Priority information exchange method is a personal conversation, which gives opportunities for all participants of the project;
• The main indicator of Agile implementation success is the high-quality working application;
• Developers, customers and sponsors have the opportunity to control and maintain a constant pace of work;
• Constant contact and control gives possibilities for permanent improvement of the product at the design stage;
• Usage of self-organizing teams to minimize the extra work;
• Self-organizing teams performing particular tasks, often give better results than a large team dedicated to everything at once;
• The presence of individual units that perform individual tasks is a guarantee of rapid adaptation to any new conditions to the project.

Developed and formulated in 2001, Agile Approach has been in use for 15 years to the day, during which it proved to be functional, effective and relevant. The method was used in the development of many projects, including most successful and well-known. Today, the Agile method is the basis of productivity in many prosperous IT companies.

How we follow Agile?

When we begin a mobile app development project at BrainMobi, we break down functional requirements into user stories, which then become the foundation of our app development schedule. We usually work within the framework of two-week sprint sets and iterate continuously until we reach substantial milestones on the mobile app. Sometimes this includes an incredibly large number of business requirements. We’ve worked on projects with as many as 3,500 requirements. Agile development makes it possible to break down all these requirements into smaller, manageable chunks.

Don’t forget to share your experience while using Agile Paradigm across your project in the comment section below.

Before That we Will See, Why There is Actually a Need to Port iOS App to Android?

If we see the previous year statistics, we will find that there is a significant increase in the number of android users. More and more people are showing interest in Android devices, which resulted in huge investment in Android version of iOS apps. The owners of iOS apps are discovering that they are missing out on a large market, and it is must to port iOS app to android. It is better to focus more on freemium strategies and in-app purchases rather than making it a free app.

Android market is open to all and there is no restriction on what your app can do. This might affect how you want your android app to be designed. The app updates are almost instantaneous, which means there will be only a few users who are not satisfied with your app.

Things to Consider When Porting iOS to Android

You need significant adaption when porting iOS app to android. We recommend you not to use design tools that are intended for iOS. Most of the common app design tools provide iOS templates and you may think that they fit the android platform as well. However, one should know that porting iOS app to android will lead to conflicts between the ported app interface and design of the android device. There are many contradicting features between iOS and Android, such as – buttons, lists, tabs, date/time, widgets, navigation etc.

The next thing to consider is fragmentation that is derived from different screen resolutions. You should consider app’s data and graphics to be displayed both on small and large screens, considering vertical as well as horizontal layouts. Though you can ignore some of the older versions, you should consider 10% of screen resolution. Some of the popular versions of android system are – Ice-cream sandwich and android 2.X, KitKat, Jelly Bean, Lollipop and Marshmallow.

Android Design

Now, once you have decided to port an iOS app to android, you should consider thinking android design. The problem is that there are many iOS tools that have iOS templates and designers use them to design android apps. However, the designs conflict with the feel and look of the app. It will take a lot of effort and time to implement. Moreover, there are problem areas such as round buttons, tabs at the bottom, lists with right pointing arrows and so on.

To avoid these problems, the first thing you need to do is avoid using iOS design tools. Just use drawing tools such as Photoshop, Visio, Balamiq next etc. If you want to get a quick overview of android UI, you can check the official website of Android. Google also has created a page describing how to design for pure android app. 

Should you Adapt New UI?

With the changing algorithm of Google, it changes the way apps can be architected internally for smartphone and tablet layouts. Google provided compatibility library that allow the latest UI elements to run on new and old android devices without changing the look and feel of the app. When re-designing the app for android, you should focus on how the data and graphics will be displayed on screens of different sizes.

Google strongly recommends following the UI language known as “Material Design”. This will help android audience get familiarized with common UI. Material design has a few common UI elements that have better support for developers.

How to Export Graphics?

Android has a different graphic asset and you need to adapt your app’s graphic assets for android. This means, you need to resize, export and name new files. It can be a bit easier than exporting assets for iOS. For instance, if you are exporting .png images, you should consider grouping the assets in different sizes 1X, 2X, 3X and 568h@2X. It would be a big headache to create precisely sized assets for each android device. Hence, the best solution is to scale assets to correct size for relevant device screen. This could be one of the reasons why graphic images on android are not as crisp and beautiful as they do in iOS.

Code Porting

The next thing to consider is the code porting, Check if it is possible to take objective-C or recompile it for android. The android apps use Java and if your iOS app uses Vanilla C, it is possible to reuse the same code for android. This is beneficial for porting complex libraries as well as to enhance the performance of the app.

Some mobile app developers make the mistake of sharingembedded UI designs into the app. Sometimes, the specificationsinclude UIs that gather information to be sent to social networking apps. There is no need of such sharing for android apps. Instead, mobile app developers should consider using action_send intends to other social networking apps.  This means users should be able to share to other apps and there is no need to write a separate code against server-side sharing APIs.

In short, it is essential to consider which characteristics of your product are time-sensitive and use the programming tactics accordingly.

How Long Does it Take to Port?

Since the app has already been developed for iOS, it will not take much time to port to android. Though porting seems to be a straight forward process, it is not quick. The time to complete the porting process will depend on the complexity of the app and selection of supporting devices. Device inconsistency will create surprise for the mobile app developer, and hence even a small change will mean additional time for porting. Different devices use different hardware components which causes your device to interact with OS and hardware in an unexpected way.

How to Submit the Ported App at Play Store?

Once the app is ported successfully to Android, it should be submitted to Play Store in the similar way it is submitted to iTunes. You need to provide screenshots, regions, ratings and other details about the app to the developer. Go through the guidelines of submitting the app to Play Store. Google will review your app and approve or reject it on the same day.

Conclusion

There are many mobile app developers who have huge experience of porting iOS app to android. To bring amazing results, the template for app porting should have – adaptation plan formula, UX testing, source app business logic analysis, proper coding & testing, etc.

At BrainMobi, we have ported several apps from iOS to android and have huge experience in android and iOS development. The porting process can be a smooth sailing, if you understand how to prepare the assets for Android before you start!!

Geolocation can be used to locate information on a map. If we need to locate a company, organization or any other resource on the map, we can simply put an element in online space on maps that contextualize it with the environment. For example, if we need to buy some stationery. To check whether there is any stationery shop nearby, we use Google Maps. In Google Maps, the site is marked by an identifier which adds context to the shop’s location.

Some of the industries where geolocation is used proactively are:

Food Industry
Every single one of us has used geolocation at some time or the other while ordering food or while finding a restaurant to dine in. Many food delivery apps provide you with the option of tracking how far your food has reached, giving its exact location. This is done with the help of geolocation. Delivery charges, if any, are calculated through geolocation as well. Your location, based on which you get recommendations of nearby restaurants is also made available with the help of geolocation.

Taxi and Cab Industry
Whenever you book a cab from your current location to a certain location, you knowingly or unknowingly use geolocation. Geolocation makes sense of your location by adding value to your location by calling it the pickup location. A similar process is followed for the drop location. Your cab fares are also generated with the help of geolocation. With the help of geolocation, traveling in cabs has become a lot safer than it used to be.

Dating Industry
Dating industry actively uses geolocation services. Most dating apps provide you with the feature to find dates nearby. This is done with the help of geolocation services tracking the location of every user. Some dating apps allow you to set the range of distance to consider while searching for dates.

Retail and mCommerce Industry
The retail and mCommerce industry is another fine example of industries where geolocation services are used. The mCommerce apps track the location of their customers so that they provide better services in the areas where there is a higher density of customers. These areas also get better offers.

BrainMobi is a top mobile app development company which proactively uses geolocation services in its apps. Our team of top mobile app developers has in-depth knowledge about developing state-of-the-art mobile apps which are customized to the requirements of the clients.

As there are several top rated developers with a well-renowned array of services, you would be surely left in the midst with head full of confusion. “How to choose ?” and “What to look out for ?” are some of the questions with much potential to pile up more confusion.

In this blog post, we have tried to rack out some important points to help you battle out the confusion around choosing the best app developers. Every point has its own significance while app development and contributes to great work collaboration. Let’s swing through the points:
