For the DApp software development life cycle, efficient use of the popular tools, frameworks, and libraries can help reduce the time from prototype to production and reduce the risk of the smart contract. Since more people are using and testing these tools, they tend to be more stable.
There are many different Ethereum development tools and frameworks the market today, all of which represent different standards. Here are some of the most popular tools and frameworks:
- Truffle
- Embark
- Infura
- DApp
- Waffle
In Chapter 6, Smart Contract Development and Test Fundamentals, we discussed the Truffle tool. In this section, we will review one of the popular tools listed here—Infura. For other tools, please visit their official websites to learn more.
