A primer on testing and test automation for mobile phone applications

Mobile phones are ubiquitous and, since 2007, millions of us have changed our habits to use applications on our smartphones. We can find & download new applications immediately and even discard them a few minutes later. Some of us are involved in creating and testing these applications. This keynote provides a primer on ways to test mobile phone applications, both interactively and using test automation. We will cover the full software lifecycle; from creation to user-feedback for installed & web-based mobile applications.

The mobile apps world continues to evolve rapidly so join us to learn more about the testing challenges & practices for your mobile app world.

He wrote the first book on test automation for smartphone applications. And he has published articles, given tutorials and classes, globally, on testing & test automation. He�s also one of the editors, and the main author for the testing sections, for the popular Don�t Panic Mobile Developers Guide to the Galaxy book. The 10th edition was launched in February 2012.
