Book Sources

On this page you will find all the resources and links mentioned in my book Hands-On Mobile App Testing (2nd edition). This page is a learning from the first edition of the book. The sources I used before, became outdated pretty fast and therefore some chapters where not complete anymore.

I want to change this for the second edition of the book, to give you always up to date resources. This page acts as a proxy for the sources in my book. All the links in the book will always work and you will end up on this page. I will make sure that the links on this page are working, too. If the links are not working anymore, I will find a good replacement.
