Testing Web Services and the APIs behind Mobile Apps
Tuesday, April 19, 2016 - 8:30am to 4:30pm

“There’s an app for that” is frequently heard today. The data (content) being presented by an app is delivered from a web service by an API (Application Programming Interface), the communication framework between applications and back-end systems. Marc van’t Veer explores functional and nonfunctional risks with APIs and explains step-by-step how to test them. Testing web services and APIs is more than just checking the features of applications. An API and the services it calls must meet requirements like response time, security, stability, performance, and scalability. In defining the test...

Test Attack Patterns for Mobile, IoT, and Embedded Software
Tuesday, April 19, 2016 - 1:00pm to 4:30pm
Mobile/IoT/embedded software teams are looking for ways to speed up development, testing, and deployment of products that wow users but don’t blow up in their faces. In the tradition of James Whittaker’s book series How to Break Software, Jon Hagar applies the “attack” pattern concept to identify and test for potential failures in these types of systems. Jon defines the environments of mobile, IoT, and embedded software, and examines common software failures found in hardware/software systems. He shares a set of patterns you can apply during pre-production testing or in a...

Usability vs. Security: Find the Right Balance in Mobile Apps
Wednesday, April 20, 2016 - 10:00am to 10:45am

Successful mobile apps have two key features: a great user experience and the ability to protect users’ data. Balancing user experience and security—a key aspect of product design and engineering—requires a multidisciplinary approach. According to Levent Gurses, a well-balanced app is designed through a series of informed decisions, meaningful compromises, and research that supports core user behaviors. Based on lessons learned from designing winning mobile apps and securing front- and back-end infrastructure, Levent shares his method for scientifically discovering the most critical...
