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,...
How to Build and Integrate a Framework for Testing Mobile SDKs
Wednesday, April 20, 2016 - 1:00pm to 1:45pm
You need to build or integrate test frameworks and standardize the test process for your Android and iOS native SDKs. Where do you start? How do you do that while delivering products for both platforms? How quickly can you learn the fundamentals of Xcode, Objective-C, Gradle, and Android Studio? These are just some of the questions that Jim Whisenant asked himself when he joined Brightcove’s mobile SDK team. While he was solving these problems with his team, Jim learned some basic salesmanship, psychology, and diplomacy—and became a better software tester in the process. Starting with these...
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...

Test Infrastructure for Native and Hybrid iOS and Android Applications
Thursday, April 21, 2016 - 11:00am to 11:45am
How do you create a test infrastructure that allows automated testing of both native and hybrid apps? Ankit Desai and Binod Pant will describe the approach they took to develop a comprehensive test infrastructure. Their aim was to leverage MathWorks’ existing home-grown continuous integration system and to provide consistent test tooling across both the iOS and Android platforms. Hear how Ankit and Binod covered mobile use cases and testing requirements; created tools to request and check out the multiple mobile configurations from the hardware/device farm; used a toolset to control the...
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...
