My Testing Sticker

by
Stickers - Adventures in QA

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.

In one of my last posts I was writing about my software testing tools that I am using on a daily basis during work. After writing the post about the software testing tools, this post about my mobile apps came to my mind. I am always asking other people what kind of apps they are using and I get this question from time to time as well.

Therefore, I wanted to provide you with an overview of the apps I am using on a daily basis on my Nexus 5.
