Software Testing, Agile Development and Product Management by Daniel Knott
While attending the first CMAP (Certified Mobile App Professional) course in germany, I stumbled up on “I SLICED UP FUN” by Jonathan Kohl. Jonathan created a mnemonic for mobile app testing and named it “I SLICED UP FUN”. This mnemonic should help you to generate test ideas especially for mobile apps.
Here is a short look at the mnemonic.
This week I found the nice github page from Stephane Nicolas named Quality Tools for Android. He provided a sample Android app using several test frameworks, to see how to use them.
Thanks to my former colleague @the_qa_guy, I now know the website http://brokeyourapp.com/. The website is presenting nasty bugs in iOS mobile apps.
The team behind the page is checking and testing random apps from the iOS store and is trying to break them. If they broke the app, they write a bug report with detailed steps, screenshots and videos. The whole report will be send to the developer. The bugs are categorized into
In several blog posts I wrote about the Android test automation framework Robotium. Those articles described the setup of the tool and how to split the whole test suite into smaller parts. Splitting the test suite into smaller parts is sometimes neccessary because building huge test suites can be a real challenge. If you don’t think about the architecture and about an abstraction layer of your test suite, the code will be impossible to mantain, impossible to scale and at the end, you will end up in a nightmare.
The guys from appThwack developed a library called ‘Robotium-Sandwich’ which is built on top of the Android instrumentation and the Robotium framework to solve the problem of unmaintainable test suites. The idea behind Robotium-Sandwich is similar to the page objects from Selenium 2.
One of my morning rituals is to check my favorite feeds and blogs about cool new stories, ideas and to be up to date in the tech and testing world. While reading through the feeds, one word made me curious. The word was Testathon! I never heard that word so far. So I click the word/ … Read more
