16. OS fragmentation
is a real challenge ...

17. Mobile testing approaches
Device Remoting
Tests are performed one at the time,
which consumes more time and delays
bugs detection
Automated Testing
Test on thousands of devices simultaneously,
saving lots of time and detecting
bugs more quickly

18. Xamarin.UITest
UI testing framework
Xamarin.UITest is a framework that ties in directly
to the Nunit testing framework to write UI tests.
You can run UI tests directly against a simulator
for regression testing of your applications.
• Create automated user interface tests in C#
• Upload to Xamarin Test Cloud or run against
a physical device or emulator
• Run your UI tests directly from Visual Studio
or Xamarin Studio
• Works for any app: C#, Java, Objective-C/
Swift, or hybrid

19. Xamarin Test Recorder
(Preview)
Record UI test steps
Standalone application (OS X) or Visual Studio
feature that watches and records how the user
interacts and creates automated tests in C# based
on those interactions.
Mobile tests can easily be exported to Xamarin
Test Cloud for further automation of UI testing.

Mobile app quality, done right
• Diverse library of real devices
• Interact with apps the way users will,
including complex gestures
• Test continuously
• Automate UI testing
• Analyze app performance
• Use the tools you know
• Test native device functionality
