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.testathon_logo_plain_white-300x105

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.

How to stress test your Android app with Monkey
