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.

The first three pilot courses will take place in February and March in UK and Germany. After the pilot courses, there are already some providers offering the
