Reading Recommendations - Adventures in QA

Times flies, it is already Wednesday and it seams the summer break is coming. The 23rd issue of my software testing reading recommendations contains only 6 blog posts. Nevertheless, the 6 post I mention this week are worth reading and are dealing wit the topics: The 5s Methodolgy of Testing, how to perform your own lean mobile usability testing and how to blog while testing, an experiment of a way to test. There is another post dealing with the hot topic of recruiting users for user testing and there are 2 posts dealing with the same topic on how to use sounds during testing. Richard and Maik where talking about this topic on the testers.io community and both decided to write a blog post about it :).

Enjoy reading the posts.

How to mock the current mobile device location with testmunk. How to improve quality and syntax of your Android code. A post about good and bad disruption, a post about a new theory of distraction and a last post which is dealing with white box testing vs. black box testing.

Enjoy reading the posts.

	Introducing the Software Testing Cupcake (Anti-Pattern) \| ThoughtWorksI believe that the Testing Pyramid is one of the best analogies to help a team develop a strategy for writing tests in a reliable and scalable manner.

The 21th issue of my software testing reading recommendations contains 8 blog posts and one podcast. There are posts dealing with the topics on how to test for security in the field of Internet of Things, how GroupOn automates app performance with testdroid. Another post is showing the cafe service menu from Stephen Janaway, which I highly recommend to read. There is a nice post about the topic “Please, stop telling testers how to test”. Neil Studd wrote a great article about 9-to-5 software testers. Other posts are dealing with testing the Internet of Things, how to ask good questions as software tester and how often do you really fix a “failing” automated check. And last but not least there is another Testing in the Pub episode dealing with the topic “At Let’s Test 2015”, you should listen to it!

Enjoy reading the posts.

My Testing Sticker

May 7, 2018June 14, 2015 by Daniel

Since a couple of years every laptop has at least one sticker on its lid. Stickers became very popular in the tech industry and every developer, designer, product manager or software tester has stickers on the back of the laptop. Either to show which company they are working for or which tools they are using or just to decorate them.

I have also several stickers on my laptop lid, mainly mobile related ones. Just yesterday, I had the idea to create my own sticker to spread the word about my book. I came up with 4 versions and I want to ask you guys for some feedback. Three stickers are showing the text “KEEP CALM and Perform Hands-On Mobile App Testing” but every version has some slight differences. The fourth sticker is showing “Eddy”, a bug carrying a mobile device (I draw him myself).

Which version do you like most? Please leave a comment. I am looking forward to them.

And here are the sticker prototypes.
