    What are golden nuggets?


    In this community we call priceless pieces of advice our golden nuggets that allow us
    to get to know OutSystems. These can come from any member of the community with the
    goal of improving our professionalism, our best practices and our knowledge of the
    OutSystems platform.

    1# - BDD FRAMEWORK
    This component is a relative new addition to the Forge. It allows us to program
    automated tests to our applications introducing only a few parameters. One of these
    parameters it’s a command set in Gherkin.

    For more details please check the following link -

    2# - ARCHITECTURE DASHBOARD
    The Architecture Dashboard is an application for which the enterprise client must
    request OutSystems to give them access to directly. This application does an audit of the
    entire enterprise environment and generates a report where you can see, application by
    application, if you are following the recommended best practices regarding implementation
    and architecture.

    For more details please check the following link –

    hitecture_Dashboard.

    3# - EXPERIENCE BUILDER
    Experience Builder is a proprietary software that enterprise clients can access by
    requesting OutSystems directly. This tool allows you to create prototypes of mobile
    applications and give you a good perspective of what the product will look like. These
    prototypes can be easily exported to Service Studio where you can then enhance your
    mobile application with further developments.

    4# - INTEGRATION BUILDER
    The Integration Builder is a brand-new tool. It is not yet generally available, and it is
    NOT a replacement of Integration Studio.

    Use it to easily plug into your CRM or ERP system and quickly access the available
    data to enhance your OutSystems applications. Integration Builder removes the complex ity
    of building integrations while allowing developers to quickly link their applications to data in
    existing systems by offering:

    • Easy plug-and-play integration

    • Dramatically reduced integration and app development lead times

    • The ability for any developer to address complex integration scenarios

    • The agility to easily change and augment existing integrations based on business
    requirements

    • You can apply for early access program enrollment here:

    5# - APP SHIELD
    App Shield is a component available in the Forge. This add -on automatically adds
    additional layers of security during deployment to make applications more resistant to
    intrusion, tampering, and reverse engineering. It makes it more difficu lt for attackers to spoof
    your app, meddle with its security controls, inject malicious code, and run in an insecure
    environment.

    You'll need a license to activate AppShield. If you don't have one yet, contact your
    sales representative to get more information on pricing and obtain a valid license.

    For more details please check the following link -

    6# - WORKFLOW BUILDER
    The Workflow Builder is a service provided by OutSytems to enterprises. This service
    allows anyone - you don’t need to be an OutSystems developer to use this – to build
    applications with task management or automation process (BPT) in minutes, by drawing
    simple diagrams.

    7# - MACHINE LEARNING BUILDER


    This service was announced in September 2020 but it’s yet to be released.

    8# - THEME EDITOR
    OutSystems 11 has an improved Service Studio in several aspects. What’s new here
    is that you are presented with Theme Editor, a small icon in the workspace toolbar, which
    allows you – if you have the OutSystems UI Theme as base theme to customize the overall
    style of your application without leaving Service Studio.

    For more details please check the following link -

    k_and_feel/customize_the_look_of_your_app_with_theme_editor.

    You also have this kind of customization for previous version of OutSystems UI:

    • Silk UI Mobile (https://silkui.outsystems.com/SilkUIMobileCustomizer/ );

    • Silk Web (https://silkui.outsystems.com/ThemeCustomizer/ ).

    9# - ADA COMPLIANCE
    The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 or ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits
    discrimination based on disability. Having this in mind when you build an application you
    must always be aware of who will use it. If you are developi ng an application in the Banking
    sector for an American client, for example, you must take into consideration while developing
    how a deaf or blind person will be able to use it.

    Here are some tools which will aid you to provide an application with good
    accessibility:

    • Wave – This is a Google Chrome extension that will audit the current web page
    regarding accessibility issues;

    • NVDA – Is a screen reader that you can use it to test if it can all the information
    present your web site.

    10# - OUTSYSTEMS LAUNCHER


    The OutSystems Launcher is a Google Chrome extension which allows you to open
    the current screen in Service Studio (if it is an OutSystems application) and it also allows to
    check the view status of a traditional web application.

    About the Community:


    This community was created with the purpose to decrease the learning curve about
    OutSystems. To achieve this what we are using a personal environment where we build
    applications with some implementations – that you can check it and see how can do to the
    desired implementation and solutions to our exercises – we have also a weekly meeting
    where we shared your experience and learn with the community live – this is also a good
    place to increase our network – and to make this sharing and learning a lot more agi le we
    have a WhatsApp group.

    If you think this community is something that you like to be part of feel free reach to
