Mobile Test Automation

Hands-On Mobile App Testing is available

by

It’s done! My book “Hands-On Mobile App Testing” is available since today. Further information can be found here: http://www.handsonmobileapptesting.com/.

Why I wrote this Book

It all started in 2010 when I had the opportunity to work on my first mobile project. The mobile team I worked in was responsible for developing a mobile web app, a native Android app and a native iOS app. This was the company’s first mobile project and a completely new testing environment for the quality assurance department. Together with a colleague, I had the chance to build up a mobile testing strategy from scratch. We evaluated several test automation tools to see which one fits best in our software development lifecycle. At that time, mobile testing tools were few and far between, and at an very early development stage. We then tried several testing approaches and tools. Of course we failed with some of them, but in the end the whole team, the company and our customers were happy.

Speaker @ Mobile App Europe Conference

by

Maybe, you already heard about the Mobile App Europe conference, which will take place in September 2014 in Potsdam/ Germany.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I had the chance to be one of the program chairs to build up the program for this conference. Building up the program was lots of work but it was a great experience to look behind the scenes and it was fun to work with the other program chairs. I am very proud of the program and I am really looking forward to the conference this year.
Speaker @ Mobile App EuropeBesides that, I am also a speaker at the conference and due to that, I can offer you an additional 10% discount on the ticket price. If you are fast enough, you can combine the 10% together with the current early bird (until end of June, 2014) and you will save up to 400€ on the ticket price.
