How to Find Vulnerabilities and Bugs in Mobile Applications

Wednesday, April 20, 2016 - 11:00am to 11:45am
As mobile devices, tools, operating systems, and web technologies rapidly evolve, testers must quickly adapt their thinking in this changing domain. Testers often struggle to find important vulnerabilities and bugs in mobile applications due to lack of guidance, experience, and the right resources. Raj Subramanian was a tester in that very situation. Hear what Raj learned from his experiences testing mobile applications previously at Orbitz and now at CSG Ascendon. CSG uses a cloud-based commerce and service delivery platform to deliver digital content to customers like SONY, Paramount,...

Shift Left Mobile Application Testing

Wednesday, April 20, 2016 - 2:00pm to 2:45pm
In the past decade, testing efforts have been steadily shifting left—to earlier in the development lifecycle. For web apps, testing and testing automation have been gradually shifting—into development, design, and requirements. The test pyramid recommended by Google and agile experts is a distribution of 60 percent unit tests, 30 percent integration tests, and only 10 percent UI tests. Although practiced widely in the web world, this formula is often deemed impractical in mobile. Satyajit Malugu busts open this myth and gives you practical guidance to achieve the same test pyramid in your...

Implement Combinatorial Test Patterns for Better Mobile and IoT Testing

Thursday, April 21, 2016 - 2:00pm to 2:45pm

A common problem in mobile and IoT systems is the large number and combinations of hardware, operational, and software configurations that need to be tested. For example, the so-called Android fragmentation problem might lead a test team to test hundreds of device and several software configurations, potentially yielding thousands or even tens of thousands of tests. Combinatorial testing, a technique involving mathematics and specific tooling, allows teams to reduce the number of test cases, while still assuring good error finding capabilities. Jon Hagar examines test combinatorial...

Innovations in Mobile Testing: Expanding Your Test Plan

Thursday, April 21, 2016 - 3:15pm to 4:00pm

As organizations implement their mobile strategy, testing teams must support new technologies—while still maintaining existing systems. Melissa Tondi describes the major trends and innovations in mobile technology, usage patterns, tools, and test equipment that you should consider when transitioning existing test teams or starting new ones. Based on information from more than two years of research with a lab-based consultant team, Melissa focuses on areas that balance efficiency and productivity, including use of a Device Matrix technique to select devices to test against, and when to use...
