New productivity developer tool
Runtime Toolkit from SwiftExpat helps developers to gather information & feedback from testers and end-users in a structured way and get and apply this feedback to the applications. When running the application, the users can enable a runtime inspector and modify any components property on forms and immediately see the effect of the update visually on the form. At the same time, the details of the update are stored in a file together with a form screenshot before and after the update and this can be sent back to the developer(s). As such, this is an ideal tool to let users send back corrections for possible language related issues, UI colors and UI control layout issues. And this is for Delphi developers building VCL applications as well as FMX applications.
A closer look at the capabilities of Runtime Toolkit
This is a comprehensive overview of the features of Runtime Toolkit:
Inspect
Feature-rich components are hard to get right (have you ever missed a setting?) RunTime ToolKit gives you access to component properties to diagnose defects. Apply property changes and see the effect realtime to eliminate guesswork. Marshal will capture the changes in a session for you to review offline.
Fine Tune
RunTime ToolKit addresses the challenges faced with user interface elements such as fine tuning color schemes, ensuring translated fields are displayed properly, and resizing controls.
Engage
Clients expect to see changes quickly. Modifying at runtime can get you valuable feedback when engaging with a client.
Implement
Marshal was designed around ease of implementation. With the drag of a button you place the Marshal control in your application and instrument your existing code. Marshal creates its own form without cluttering your application form.
Diagnose
Inspecting components at runtime allows you to diagnose configuration or data driven behavior. Inspect the items collection to ensure the data was loaded and determine if the item is hidden.
Record
Capture the details and integrate the fixes into your source code immediately or at your own pace. Marshal records each change to component properties in a session which can be reviewed offline in Caddie.
Compare Before and After
Marshal automatically captures screen shots before and after property modifications. Visually compare the details of the form before and after a change.
Target Deployment
Deploy instrumented code during testing or to beta users. Marshal can be controlled using build configurations to target specific builds.
Vendor Agnostic
Designed to work with controls from any vendor, Marshal is fully functional in an application that uses no other FNC controls. Partnering with FNC leverages technologies to deliver better tools.
