As applications for smartphones and tablets become incredibly popular, organizations encounter increasing pressure to quickly and successfully deliver testing for these devices. When faced with a mobile testing project, many testers find it tempting to apply the same methods and techniques used for desktop applications. Although some of these concepts transfer directly, testing mobile applications presents its own special challenges. Max Saperstone says if you follow the same practices and techniques as you have before, you will miss critical defects. Learn how to effectively test mobile applications, and how to add more structure and organization to generate effective test ideas to exploit the capabilities and weaknesses of mobile devices. Max shares first-hand experiences with testing mobile applications and discusses how to address various challenges. Work on real problems on your own device and learn firsthand how to be productive while testing mobile applications.

2. For almost a decade, Max Saperstone has been a test engineer focusing on test automation
and the continuous integration/continuous delivery process. Max specializes in open source
tools—Selenium, JMeter, AutoIT, Cucumber, and Chef. He has led several testing automation
efforts, including developing an automated suite focused on web-based software to operate
over several applications. Max also headed a major project developing an automated testing
structure to run Cucumber tests over multiple test interfaces and environments, while
developing a system to keep test data “ageless.” He is currently developing a new testing
architecture for SecureCI to allow testing of multiple interfaces, custom reporting, and
minimal test upkeep.
