Reading Recommendations # 88

May 7, 2018September 5, 2017 by Daniel

Long time no read for you and writing for me. I spend the last 2 month with my family and not in front of a computer screen to enjoy the life (almost 😉 ) outside of the technology world. However, now I am back relaxed and with new ideas in my mind to share them with you in the upcoming days and month. I want to reactivate my blog with my known reading recommendations. In one of the next posts I will present you the results of a survey I created some months ago. So stay tuned and have fun with my reading recos.

The 88 issue of my reading recommendations contains 7 very interesting blog posts and one book recommendation (which I will read soon, too). The are topics about “Session Based Testing in Agile/DevOps Environments”, “The Interview Roadshow”, “Does certification have value or not?”, “A Practical Guide to Testing in DevOps – by Katrina Clokie”, “THREE FREE PROGRAMMING COURSES FOR TESTERS”, “(Live) slow connection mobile testing”, “Ready, Tester One? GO!” and “We’re getting worse at testing”.

Enjoy reading the posts and send me new ones that are worth reading and I will mention you and link to your social links or blog.

Phased Release for Automatic iOS Updates

May 7, 2018June 26, 2017 by Daniel

As announced by Apple at the WWDC 2017 there will be a new AppStore coming this year with the possibility of a phased release for automatic updates. The new feature will provide companies and developers the chance to roll out new app releases to a smaller user base to see if the new version is stable and if the new feature is appreciated by the customers. Apple offers the following steps:

Day 1: 1 percent
Day 2: 2 percent
Day 3: 5 percent
Day 4: 10 percent
Day 5: 20 percent
Day 6: 50 percent
Day 7: 100 percent

Apple selects users for each bucket randomly based on their Apple ID, which is better than the device ID, because users may have several devices like an iPhone and iPad and then they get the same app on each device. And users can only be selected by Apple if they turned automatic updates ON.

Once an app is configured for the phased release, the app must pass each step, which is from my point of view not really flexible. Maybe companies want to start the phased release with a bigger customer group than 1, 2 or 5 percent to get faster feedback. However, on the other side it provides a nice way to monitor new features in the live environment and to react on possible issues and it’s the right way to give companies and developers more options to release an app. Stopping the phased release is possible. Developers have the option to push the app to 100% at any time via the iTunes connect.

Summary Nordic Testing Days 2017 – Updated

May 7, 2018June 12, 2017 by Daniel

I am just back from 3 exciting days in Tallinn attending the Nordic Testing Days.

TL;DR: it was just awesome conference! Plan it for 2018.

And now the long story. Just after I arrived in the hotel, I had only a couple of minutes to prepare for the speaker’s dinner. Looking out of my window, I knew directly our ride for the speaker’s dinner.

Already in the hotel lobby I met many awesome testers and the organizers, like Guna, Helena, Erik, Stephen and many more. Immediately it felt like seeing old friends and the fun started in the train. Look at the pictures.
