A few months ago, we introduced our ‘Business’ plan so that we could provide better care and supplementary features to thousands of Invoicera’s customers at a very reasonable price. This addition in pricing plan was the outcome of vigilant analysis of the way our customers have used Invoicera over the past years. After listening to your adoring feedback on the pricing plans, answering to hundreds of your emails and tickets and speaking to many of you on the phone, it became understandable that we have to make some more adjustments in our pricing plans and thus we have introduced our new unlimited plan ‘Infinite’.

With this plan, there is no need to figure it out how many clients, staff members you have added or how many invoices you may send or what it may cost if you go over your limit. Invoicera gives you unlimited invoicing to unlimited clients at one simple price – $69.95 per month. It doesn’t get any easier than this!

Over the past few weeks we have been making improvements and bringing you updates. We are always on the path to enhance Invoicera in such a manner so as to make it incredible for our customers while continually offering a great quality app with lots of astonishing features anticipated from an online invoicing tool. These improvements and updates are a consequence of feedback that we get in numbers and scrupulous brainstorming sessions performed in our chamber.

Invoicera is nearly 4 years old and serving thousands of clients world over for their invoicing tasks. It’s great to be in this position, but with a large user base comes the liability of receiving many feature requests. Requests flow in via support requests, email, blog comments, Twitter, Facebook etc. This week we continue with our series of development updates and enrichments to carry on with our responsibility of frequently improving the application’s functionality and adding all of the goodies that our customers have desired for.

If you have not been paying attention to our Add-on list, you might have missed out several great approaches to do more for your business. Add-ons are all about making your business healthier by improving the way you work with Invoicera. We consistently work upon the new ways to make your invoicing experience much better and in the same order; we have integrated our services with Magento so that the store orders can be imported in your Invoicera account and professional invoices can be sent to your customers automatically for those orders in real time.

This integration will save most of the time of Magento store owners who, so far used to send invoices to their customers for each order manually. This integration would also provide store owners an option to send invoices in their own customize invoice format (that you can easily prepare in your Invoicera account with Invoicera’s customize template feature.) rather than Magento’s standard invoice format. Invoicera’s Magento Extension is anticipated to help businesses with invoicing and is mainly helpful for companies with several sales channels, as they can now aggregate orders in Invoicera.

Importance of Unit Testing in Software Development

In the programming world, Unit Testing is considered a religious issue that has many takers. Some vigorously for it, and some vehemently against it too.

A StackOverFlow query was answered in good spirit and (put pretty well !) and the explanation goes thus:

“Unit testing is a lot like going to the gym. You know it is good for you, all the arguments make sense, so you start working out. There’s an initial rush, which is great, but after a few days you start to wonder if it is worth the trouble.”

Just like the popular JUnit framework (for Java), the PHP world has PHPUnit (thanks to Sebastian Bergmann), a popular Unit Testing framework, that is not just feature-rich but quite extensible too. Read More >>
