Mobile App Testing Strategy by RapidValue SolutionsRapidValue
There has been an increase in the adoption of smartphones, tablets and several mobile devices with the passage of time. And it has led to an enormous growth of mobile applications in recent years. Mobile device is considered to be the primary medium of interaction for the customers and also, businesses worldwide. And mobile applications are, actually, driving the communication.
People, generally, do not give much importance to mobile application testing because of its expensive nature. But it is very much essential to ensure that the consumers have a great experience, every time they use the application.
The aim of mobile application testing should be to acquire knowledge about the quality of the service that you are offering. Does it work properly or not? Will it provide services as per the expectation of the customer? These questions need to be answered to ensure that the customer comes back to you, for your service again. Mobile testing is becoming more and more complicated and complex with each passing day. Strategies are invented and used to simplify the mobile application testing.
This presentation primarily addresses, the strategy to be adopted in mobile app testing, the types of mobile app testing and the stages to be followed, before the application is set live.
- Violation of app store policies or guidelines related to content, privacy, security, etc.
- Crashes, bugs or stability issues identified during review.
- Poor user experience such as confusing or cluttered UI, lack of functionality.
- Submission errors like missing information, screenshots or metadata.
- Monetization issues including inappropriate in-app purchases or subscriptions.

What Aircrews Can Teach Software Testing Teams - XBOSoft Webinar w/Peter VarholXBOSoft
Aircrew resource management principles enable any team member to question decisions and directions that seem to be wrong. Testing teams, whose members have diverse experience and expertise that give them different perspectives, need to embrace these principles to make the right decisions.
United Flight 232 should have crashed with 296 lives lost. In contrast, Asiana Flight 214 should not have crashed at all. The critical difference between the two was the interactions of their respective aircrews. Aircrew resource management refers to how cockpit crew members work together to make flights as safe and efficient as possible. These principles have been applied to other professional fields, and should be a central practice of every testing team.
Testing teams require expertise in all aspects of software design, development, test, delivery, and operations. There can be no “command pilot” whose expertise over all aspects of testing is greater than the combined expertise and experience of others. And while the leader of the team is the final authority, he or she must listen to and consider team members whose knowledge and experience can make the difference between success and failure.
This presentation discusses how aircrew resource management has evolved to focus on expertise, collaboration, and decision-making in the cockpit. It applies these lessons to testing teams, where complementary expertise is necessary to deliver high quality and working applications, updated continuously. It highlights the characteristics of successful aircrew teams and how those characteristics apply to building and delivering great software.
Attendees will learn:
1. What testing teams can learn from successful teams in other fields.
2. How testing teams must work collaboratively, especially in crises and under pressure.
3. How blind deference to authority and automation can be detrimental to a testing team.

Agile Metrics to Boost Software Quality improvementXBOSoft
Why don't metrics apply to Agile development methodologies? Wrong! They Do, but you have to know how and when.
Find out in this webinar (recording) in special collaboration with the Chicago Quality Assurance Association (CQAA).
Agile, a development methodology, designed to allow team members to work iteratively during the development process instead of delivering a final product all at once, is now 20 years old. And when it comes to testing within an Agile process, there are those that use pyramids, and rectangles as mental models for where you should put your effort, or not.
Sometimes, software quality in Agile is mistranslated as the idea that everyone is responsible for software testing. But within Agile software development, ensuring quality is much more than testing and must include activities at different levels, including estimates for the workload for each iteration. Otherwise, testing happens last minute—or sometimes not at all, depending on time constraints. To have a successful Agile team, most software developers know that velocity is an essential component.
But it’s not just about measuring velocity, as velocity is only one factor or measurement for success. There are many other factors to measure when you want to assess the success of your Agile team in delivering a quality product. In this webinar, we specifically look at some key metrics for us the measure the success and progress of our quality in Agile.
Tune in with Philip Lew as he goes through ways you can gather insights in slicing, dicing, and analyzing (and interpreting) data. We’ll use Jira as an example, but you can do this with practically any issue tracking collaboration tool to help your team improve software quality.

Her experience includes 1.1 years of software testing experience and 6 months of application design and development experience. She has worked as a quality assurance engineer and trainee engineer. Her projects involve testing mobile and web applications for iOS, Android, and Windows platforms.
Barely any modern software development project will be initiated without the discussion on test automation. With the demand to deliver software products in higher quality faster, test automation is oftentimes perceived by project leads as the silver bullet, allowing to ‘test everything’ without high overhead in employing skilled workforce. The tools are being discussed more often, than development and maintenance costs of automation frameworks that can support projects from inception into delivery and post-production.
Incorrect approaches that result in choosing invalid test automation strategies are often the cause of much frustration later in the project, when the reality of test automation activities become visible and need to be accounted for.
In this webinar, Anna will discuss her experiences in selecting short term and long term test automation strategies applied within various contexts, various skill sets that are required for running a successful test automation project, and suggest alternatives to full-blown test automation with the insufficient project resources.
Learn:
* when the test automation is an enabler, and when it’s an impediment to project success
* when to start planning for automation, and how to select the tools and methods most suitable for specific project needs
* how to anticipate investment costs and support long term automation effort across multiple projects
* skills and roles in test automation
How to Find Vulnerabilities and Bugs in Mobile ApplicationsJosiah Renaudin
As mobile devices, tools, operating systems, and web technologies rapidly evolve, testers must quickly adapt their thinking in this changing domain. Testers often struggle to find important vulnerabilities and bugs in mobile applications due to lack of guidance, experience, and the right resources. Raj Subramanian was a tester in that very situation. Hear what Raj learned from his experiences testing mobile applications previously at Orbitz and now at CSG Ascendon. CSG uses a cloud-based commerce and service delivery platform to deliver digital content to customers like SONY, Paramount, Cineplex, Disney, ESPN, COMCAST, Time Warner, Dish. He explores test techniques and tools you can use to get quick feedback about your mobile applications. With live demos and screenshots, Raj demonstrates things testers need to know about the mobile ecosystem and the tests that need to be in their suite. Take back test strategies and tools to apply in your real-world situations.

Agile Test Management Using Jira and ZephyrXBOSoft
Do you have traceability where you can efficiently determine the cause of defects if there was an unclear requirement? Are you sure your test cases cover your requirements? Can you easily execute targeted regression when you’ve updated your software’s functionality? Now with software development teams mostly working from home or in dispersed geographies, supporting effective collaboration between remote workers is critical. In this XBOSoft quarterly webinar, our CEO, Philip Lew, teams up with BDQ’s CEO Chris Bland, to discuss the problems with working remotely, integrating the phases of testing in development in an Agile, and how this can be done using Zephyr, one of the predominant plugins in the Atlassian marketplace for test management. In this webinar, you will learn how to:
--Link tests with user stories and group tests within test cycles.
--Tie your results (defects) all the way back to user stories for effective defect root cause analysis.
--Classify defects to analyze and prioritize your test efforts.
--Use the traceability matrix with Zephr for deep visibility into your Agile process.
Is this possible? Artificial Intelligence Based Test Automation but with no AI? Well, according to Jeremias Roessler, it is! Find out how in this quarterly webinar slidedeck with XBOSoft's special guest speaker, Jeremy Rößler. What good are 400 additional AI-generated UI tests, if we don’t want to maintain our existing human-created ones? This question lies at the heart of AI-based test generation. Recheck-web addresses this issue elegantly and without any “AI-magic” … using a whole different approach to test automation. This refreshingly unusual approach to test automation (difference testing) has many advantages over conventional test automation and he shows how to overcome the oracle problem. This approach makes tests easy to create and maintain, robust and more complete. You can use this approach today in your existing UI testing setup for websites (currently available for Selenium/Java, more to come).

Proactive SQA™ Shifting Left w/Proactive Software Quality PracticesXBOSoft
This webinar hosted by XBOSoft featured our guest speaker, Robin Goldsmith. Robin, an expert in software requirements and business analysis, presented how to develop a definition of software quality as a first step any software development process. Although most of what is called SQA today actually is just testing, true SQA is much different from quality control (QC) testing. SQA can and should do far more, contributing proactively to assure the software process in fact does the right things well so it truly produces high quality cheaper, preventing errors or catching them earlier when they can be fixed more easily. This interactive webinar positions SQA and explains the six proactive functions it should perform to provide far greater value.

XBOSoft webinar - How Did I Miss That Bug - Cognitive Biases in Software TestingXBOSoft
The document discusses cognitive biases that can cause testers to miss bugs. It explains that software testing involves both objective comparisons to specifications as well as subjective judgments, and that missed bugs result from errors in judgment influenced by cognitive biases. Some biases discussed include representative bias, confirmation bias, and anchoring effect. The document advocates managing cognitive biases through techniques like exploratory testing, which focuses more on intuition and learning than requirements coverage. It suggests testers, managers, and the QA profession shift focus from finding bugs to providing information.
PSQT Keynote: Quality Challenges in the Internet of Things EraXBOSoft
The Internet of Things is made up of three core elements: things, communications and computing. Things are devices connected to the Internet such as a watch, car or appliances in your home. For IoT to work, these things need to be connected, communicating statuses and other information with each other in real time. And with this information, the last element of IoT is computing and storage. What will all this information be used for? What actions can or should be taken? How and where will the information be stored, on a server, on a mobile phone? And who will it be accessible by?
IoT offers both efficiency and automation to daily life, and with an estimated 26 billion connected devices by 2020, there’s bound to be issues with security, reliability and connectivity within that enormous, intricate network. This makes the role of QA critical.
For example: security. Will someone be able to hack into my home network and then into my wearable device and steal my medical information? Then there’s data storage, the actual efficiency of the device and user interactions to account for. IoT is still growing so quickly that QA testers must be able to keep up with the increasing complexity of it as it continues to expand.
Simply making sure that the device and its software works correctly in a controlled environment in isolation is not acceptable. Yet, how can you test all the scenarios? Scenarios include not only the multitude of devices that can connect together in a combination of ecosystems, but also, the data they produce. How we develop test data sets that accurately represent the real world must also be considered, as well as how we can make sure it is secure with such a multitude of sensors collecting data. Lastly, IoT is not about devices. We still have to make sure the user has an integrated experience across devices and software. Hence, usability in IoT could be the most overlooked game breaker for IoT. In this session, find out the latest technologies, thought patterns, techniques and methods to move beyond old school QA (desktops, web and mobile) where devices work mostly in isolation.
7 Habits of Highly Effective Agile Testing - Test IstanbulXBOSoft
This document summarizes a presentation on applying Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to agile testing. It discusses the original 7 habits and how they can help teams succeed with agile. Maintaining an improvement mindset, treating users as the top priority, and building trust are some key ways the habits were applied. Regular retrospectives and a focus on efficiency and effectiveness were emphasized as important agile practices.
Managing Agile Software Projects With Risk and UncertaintyXBOSoft
In chasing velocity, we often ignore or don’t understand the uncertainties and associated risks in our processes and their results. Agile is designed to handle uncertainty in requirements as new features are requested and priorities shift. But shouldn’t we also be thinking about and mitigating the uncertainties that are unique or even introduced by using agile? Phil Lew suggests that our problem is that we sometimes carry assumptions which either cause us to spend too much effort on things we can’t control or give us unfounded comfort and reassurance. If we can’t understand the uncertainties and risks, how can we have confidence in our software as systems become more complex? Phil overlays classic risk management techniques with an agile process to identify and address the uncertainties that matter—and those that don’t. Then Phil outlines methods that you can use to address these risks while maintaining rhythm in your agile software processes. Come and learn about risks you never thought of and see how you can manage or avoid them.
