2. Testing’s Mobile
Non Apocalypse
Or mobile is the
best thing to
happen to testing
like ever and
something to
celebrate. Not
run for the
hills.

3. Pop quiz hotshots…
Lets see how tough this crowd is
then. How many of you…
• Own a mobile?
• Are testing on mobile?
• Have tested on mobile before?
• Work in a mobile first
organisation?
• Know what ADB stands for?

4. Let me tell you a story…
• Fansz
• Little
mobile
experience
• But testing
experience
• I realised
something…

5. Panic on the streets of…
• Well,
everywhere
• Testing
behind the
curve…agai
n!

6. The Usual Suspects
• Early Experts
• Dodgy Tools
• Body shopping

7. Prism
• Opportunity!
• It’s testing
in a mobile
context
• What's true of
testing shines
through the
mobile
paradigm

8. Do you believe?
• Before we
go too far,
lets ask a
question…
• What are
your
testing
axioms?

9. #1 Testing is a human
activity
• Both mobile
& testing
are human
endeavours
• Communicate
with other
humans

10. #2 The Oracle Problem
• Fallible
• Given the
size and
scope of
mobile, can
there be
‘the one?’

11. #3 Complete testing is
impossible
• Device
fragmentation
• Over 20 000
unique pieces
of hardware! 20
000!
• Test all of
those then!

12. #4 Test cases !=
testing
Can you
create a
list which
covers the
variety
inherent in
the mobile
world?

13. #5 Testing is a
performance
• Using your
device is
a constant
performance
• So is
testing on
it

14. #6 Poking at User
Interfaces
• Stop it
everyone
• 1D, balance
free
• Better data,
probably
better app

15. #7 Tools assist
testing, not replace
• Wobbly,
aimless check
automation
• Tools should
enhance
information
and
effectiveness

16. #8 Noddy bugs cost you
big time
• That old
graph needs
updating
• Buggy = Bad
reviews =
out of
business,
rapidly

17. #n Context or ‘it
depends’
Remember, if
the problem
isn’t
solved, the
product
doesn’t
work.

18. Apocalypse, Not
Mobile
probably
the BEST
thing to
happen to
testing
ever!

19. Questions or Beer?
Duff Man says:
“Yeah that's
swell, Duff
wholeheartedly
supports asking
questions. Now!
Who wants a beer!"
