CQAA November 2013 Speaker Program: Testing Mobile Apps and Websites: Conquering the Multitude with the help of Automation

Mobile devices pose a formidable challenge for software testing: multiple platforms, unyielding operating systems, and release cycles that frequently take less than a week, just to name a few. How can we provide high quality testing in this environment? The answer lies in translating the challenges into testing methods and techniques. The session will offer specific approaches that can help in coping with unique mobile functionalities like location services and reception sensitivity, problems like typing on a soft keyboard and testing devices for memory leaks, and more. In many cases, test automation is of a great help; in some cases, it is a necessary component of the solution. Hence, the session will survey a number of mobile test automation methods, offer an analysis of their advantages and disadvantages, and provide a demo of one innovative approach that enables using common test automation tools with mobile devices.

Michael Yudanin is a Certified Software Quality Engineer since 1999 and a CEO of Conflair, a QA and testing company. He has been working on testing mobile devices manually and automatically since before mobile apps and smartphones became a commonplace, and developed RealMobileTM, a unique patent-pending approach to using common automation tools to automate mobile apps testing. Among the clients who benefited from this approach are Home Depot, Bank of America, Weather Channel, Spirit Airlines, and other large enterprises.
