A couple of weeks ago I was interviewed by Joe Colantonio the founder of www.testtalks.com a weekly podcast about test automation. During the interview we spoke about my book and about mobile testing challenges in general. We spoke about the mobile test pyramid, which mobile test automation tools should be used and what makes mobile testing so special compared to other software like web- or desktop applications.
