My Testing Sticker

by
Stickers - Adventures in QA

Since a couple of years every laptop has at least one sticker on its lid. Stickers became very popular in the tech industry and every developer, designer, product manager or software tester has stickers on the back of the laptop. Either to show which company they are working for or which tools they are using or just to decorate them.

I have also several stickers on my laptop lid, mainly mobile related ones. Just yesterday, I had the idea to create my own sticker to spread the word about my book. I came up with 4 versions and I want to ask you guys for some feedback. Three stickers are showing the text “KEEP CALM and Perform Hands-On Mobile App Testing” but every version has some slight differences. The fourth sticker is showing “Eddy”, a bug carrying a mobile device (I draw him myself).

Which version do you like most? Please leave a comment. I am looking forward to them.

And here are the sticker prototypes.

Mobile-Zeitgeist is a known german blog about the mobile world which covers topics like mobile marketing, mobile advertisement, mobile commerce, mobile web & apps, mobile markets, mobile solutions, mobile development and any kind of mobile technologies. Besides that mobile-zeitgeist is also providing a mobile job section.

Since years, I am a reader of this blog and in the beginning of this year I thought, why not writing for them to add some mobile testing topics to this great blog. I contacted Heike Scholz, who is the creator of this blog and she really liked my commitment to contribute to the blog.
