Fostering a culture of continuous learning is essential to our success, and our recent session in the Belgrade Branch is a great example of this commitment. Our QA and Mobile communities came together to focus on how we’re using Appium in our projects. The workshop included: • Best practices for writing Appium tests • Configuring and setting up Appium • Comparing Appium with Espresso, another popular testing tool • A live demo of Appium on an actual project Through discussions and real-life examples, our teams gained insights into improving testing processes and boosting app quality. We believe that sharing knowledge strengthens our teams and leads to better results, so we’re especially proud of our QA and Mobile communities in Belgrade for taking the initiative to self-organize and make this session happen.

At Symphony, our commitment to giving back to the community is a core part of who we are. This year, our communities in Novi Sad and Belgrade, as a part of Symphony ARC Foundation, collaborated with LICEULICE, an organization dedicated to promoting social and economic inclusion through a unique social entrepreneurship model. In July, our Novi Sad branch hosted Boris, a Lice Ulice magazine representative, who achieved a personal milestone by selling the most issues of his career during his visit. Earlier in April, our Belgrade team supported the 100th issue of Lice Ulice with the help of Srdjan, another dedicated salesman, by purchasing copies and directly contributing to their mission of empowering marginalized groups. These activities reflect our ongoing commitment to supporting meaningful causes and fostering positive change. We’re proud to be part of Lice Ulice’s journey and look forward to continuing this impactful collaboration. #symphonyiscommunity #socialresponsibility #socialimpact #inclusivity
