Robust quality assurance for enterprise-grade development

Build reliable applications that adhere to your highest enterprise security standards.

Mendix supports quality assurance throughout every phase of application development with proactive monitoring, real-time performance management, and comprehensive testing coverage. Our platform makes it easy for teams to gain insights into the health of the application landscape to improve maintainability, reduce security risk, and reduce lifecycle costs.

 

  • “Mendix takes care of everything right out of the gate. We don’t have to think about security, scalability, or performance. We aren’t architecting something completely from scratch. Out of the box, we don’t have to spend so much time on those things with Mendix. That allowed us to focus on what we really wanted to deliver.”

    Chris Picou

  • “With Mendix, we were able to set up guardrails allowing teams in the organization to build applications rapidly, but within the boundaries of the information risk policies in our organization.”

  • “Now, we can create modular applications almost like Legos. We can build them all to scale and tackle the larger, more complex goals we have…we can innovate with Mendix because we don’t need to worry about things like security that are inherent to the platform.”

Accelerate development with reusable components

Improve application quality and your security posture by using reusable components early in the development lifecycle in an easy-to-consume fashion.

All Mendix components are pre-tested and tested regularly to help ensure the consistency of the model and data structures during development, so you don’t have to revisit them later.

By leveraging platform-supported components, you can better enforce the quality of your applications. These components include:

  • Connectors

    Simplify integration with external systems.

  • Widgets

    Easily add UI functionality.

  • Modules

    Create self-contained application functionality for reuse.
