Use Mobile/IoT Big Data Analytics to Improve Development and Testing

Tuesday, April 19, 2016 - 8:30am to 12:00pm

Mobile and IoT software apps generate tons of data and live in a world of social media crowdsourcing. Probably more importantly, back end systems are capturing terabytes of usage data on mobile and IoT applications—data that is ripe for big data analysis. Jon Hagar examines how development and test teams can put this data to work to improve mobile and IoT products and projects. To stay competitive, product teams must find ways to use analytics in a variety of fashions and from varied sources. This hand-on session explores where to find the data you need and examines way to mine and...

Mobile and IoT Win! Now What?

Wednesday, April 20, 2016 - 8:30am to 9:30am

Smartphones now outnumber tablets and PCs combined. Mobile developers and testers make more money than their old-school counterparts. Now that mobile has won the race, a new set of questions arises. How has mobile changed—and how does it continue to change—software technology and the economy? What does this mean to you personally? How does mobile affect technology choices, company strategies, and your career? Jason Arbon shares how to capitalize on the mobile win. Mobile forced a reinvention of how we design, build, and test software. How can these lessons from mobile be applied to web and...

Uber’s Fascinating World of Inter-App Communications

Wednesday, April 20, 2016 - 10:00am to 10:45am

After joining Uber in early 2015, Apple Chow and Bian Jiang encountered an Uber-unique challenge while investigating UI testing tools for their mobile applications. Many of their sanity tests required the rider application and driver application to communicate and coordinate actions in order to complete the end-to-end testing scenario. Learn how Apple, Bian, and their team created Octopus, a platform agnostic tool for scenario testing. They will discuss how it coordinates the communication across different apps running on different devices. You can apply this approach for any tests that...

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...

IoT Integrity: A Guide to Robust Endpoint Testing

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

If you’re responsible for an application that depends on the data or functionality of various IoT endpoints—either sensors or devices—your brand reputation depends on the security, reliability, and compliance of its many integrated parts. If your application fails to deliver the expected business results, your customers and partners won't care if that failure stems from the code you developed or from a component that you integrated. What can you do to ensure that the endpoints work as expected and enhance your brand? Wayne Ariola outlines a multiphase strategy: validate each endpoint...
