Use Selenium to Test Mobile Web Apps in the Cloud
With the burgeoning number of mobile OSs, browsers, and platform combinations, comprehensive mobile app testing can be a nightmare—but it doesn’t have to be! Brian Hicks demonstrates ways to leverage the open source Selenium (IDE) with cloud services to test mobile apps across multiple browsers and platforms. Through hands-on exercises, you will experience how Selenium interacts with web browsers below the GUI to test actions, inputs, and expected outcomes. Brian and participants will examine how the Selenium framework works and learn how to expand Selenium tests to improve device and...
Testing Web Services and the APIs behind Mobile Apps
“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...
