Tools and Techniques for Testing Mobile Apps

Add to calendar

With hundreds of mobiles, tablets, and wearables running different versions of iOS and Android, automated continuous testing is the only sane way to address mobile testing. Tom Chavez reviews automated testing tools for mobile apps, including tools that require writing tests in a programming language and tools that record and playback mobile app actions for replay requiring no programming at all. See tools that show your real user data including location, OS, connection type, device battery level, and data I/O. Tom shares how these affect application performance and user satisfaction. To complement and complete your device test pool, Tom discusses how to decide when to use your own devices or a remote device pool that may be thousands of miles away from your development team. Learn how mobile app developers and test teams have made the transition from manual testing to automation. Leave informed and ready with the tools and techniques needed to reduce testing time, increase quality, measure performance, and delight users.
