In January I wrote a post about the first official testathon that took place in London. The testing event for testers was really a success and therefore another testathon will take place.
Next week (Saturday 5th July 2014), there will be the next testathon in Stockholm (Sweden) at the headquarter of Spotify.
This time the app from Spotify and iZettle will be tested. Find more information at the testathon page.
Again, there will be lots of fun and cool prices for the winning testers.
Check out the video from the last testathon and some more impressions within the pictures.
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. Besides 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.
Yesterday (13. June 2014), the preliminary software testing world cup competition took place for Europe. To summarize it in one sentence, “It was awesome and a good experience for software testers“.
The software that should be tested was http://stwc.salestool-demo.appspot.com/. We had the goal to test this application on as many as possible mobile devices with different screen sizes for usability, functionality and design. Out of scope during the session was load and performance testing. Also security testing had a low priority.
I was part of a distributed team within Europe, one guy was sitting in Barcelona, one in Hamburg, one in Düsseldorf and in Wiesbaden. We organized us via Google Docs and a Google Hangout session during the competition. One person (me), was listening to the live youtube channel, where the judges were answering questions from the teams and to inform my team with important information. Each of us had a special test task, where to focus on. We focused on the usability, functionality, design and some security testing.
We tested the application on iPads (mini), iPhones and on different Android devices.
In total we filed 38 bugs in the provided defect management tool. 15 of the filed bugs where critical ones. As an example, we where able to access sensitive data of snapshots and account settings from one of my team member. Other than that, there where lots of cross site scripting problems in the application.
9 of the filed bugs had a high priority, e.g. it was very easy to create internal server errors on the application backend by entering special characters to the input fields. 11 bugs had the severity medium and 3 low.
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a guest blog post at the testobject.com blog about Robotium Recorder. My post is more like a tutorial on how to install and use the Recorder in order to setup a nAndroid test environment. The guys from TestObject liked my post and therefore they offered me some free giveaways … Read more
Last week I found a nice interactive testing mind map called: http://thetestingmap.org/. The mind includes testing topics like: Methodology Usage of Methodology Process Tools Support Activities Principles Soft Skills Social Technology Currently the mind map is in progress. As you can see on the map, there are lots of ‘in progress’ and ‘help wanted’ signs. I really … Read more
