Whitepaper

The whitepaper evaluates two frameworks supporting multi-platform desktop application development: Delphi and Electron.

When businesses choose a software framework they begin a long-term relationship for the duration of their application’s lifecycle. Given the strategic consequences of this decision, businesses must carefully consider how frameworks enhance developer productivity, business functionality, application flexibility, product performance, the long-term viability of that framework, and the inherent security in each framework’s design and technology.

The ideal framework demonstrates strength in each category by minimizing product time-to-market, reducing maintenance costs, supporting product variety, and facilitating a superior customer experience.

The whitepaper makes an exhaustive comparison between the Delphi and Electron frameworks on Windows, macOS, and Linux based on these key benchmarks. Download this exceptional study and discover what performance metrics you can expect from each.

Choosing a framework for enterprise software development.

This paper is for developers and firms looking to make a comparison between Delphi^® and Electron in terms of their suitability for enterprise application software development.

Enterprise application software development poses a unique challenge for developers. The unique client requirements, the width and depth of the scope, the variety of integrations required and the predictably significant data migration and system modernization requirements combine to create a level of complexity far beyond that of more “conventional” software projects.

Referencing the results of the benchmarking study, this paper evaluates their implications in terms of the suitability of each framework for enterprise application development.

Delphi and Electron for Desktop Plattforms

When businesses choose a software framework they begin a long-term relationship for the duration of their application’s lifecycle. Given the strategic consequences of this decision, businesses must carefully consider how frameworks enhance developer productivity, business functionality, application flexibility, product performance, the long-term viability of that framework, and the inherent security in each framework’s design and technology. The ideal framework demonstrates strength in each category by minimizing product time-to-market, reducing maintenance costs, supporting product variety, and facilitating a superior customer experience.

This paper evaluates two frameworks supporting multi-platform desktop application development: Delphi and Electron.

In order to assess these frameworks, this paper defines four evaluation categories and 26 metrics, defines and analyzes a benchmark application, and scores each framework using a weighted evaluation. The benchmark, an RSS reader, assesses each frameworks’ ability to create an application for multiple desktop operating systems and provides insight into framework performance differences between operating systems.
