Interview on TV for Testers

by

A couple of weeks ago I was interviewed by Lalit Bhamare on his page TV for Testers. Lalit created a new series called techno talks and we recorded the first episode together. We talked about mobile testing, challenges in this area and how solve them. During the interview I mentioned lots of very useful resources which you can find on the TV for Testers page. Have fun watching the videos and I highly recommend to keep an eye on the new series, there will be more testing people interviewed. I am really looking forward to it.

Smartwatch Testing Cheat Sheet

by

In one of my last posts I published my mobile testing cheat sheet. The reactions I received from social media and other channels was just great. The cheat sheet was very well received by you and I think it will help you to not forget the important parts when it comes to mobile app testing.

Maybe you have read my blog series about smartwatch app testing including the different watch platforms as well as several testing ideas that might help you to tackle this new technology stack. Wearables and especially smartwatches are becoming more and more important in our life and may be the next big challenge for you as well. Eran Kinsbruner wrote a great guest blog post about wearables in 2016 and if you miss that post I highly recommend you to read it here. The post will provide you with lots of useful insights in the wearable world.
