User Focus 2014 - Choosing The Right Mobile ApproachJasper Liu
The document discusses different approaches to mobile development: responsive websites, dedicated mobile websites, native apps, and hybrid apps. Responsive websites use fluid grids and media queries to adapt to different screens, providing a consistent experience at a low cost. Dedicated mobile sites are separate from desktop sites but may not be as consistent. Native apps have best performance and access to device features but require platform-specific development. Hybrid apps use web technologies to work across platforms at a lower cost than native but with reduced performance. The best approach depends on factors like content, usage patterns, and development skills. An effective mobile strategy aligns business goals with users and technologies.
The document summarizes Mark Kirstein's presentation at the 2011 APAC Developer Conference about RhoMobile Suite. It provides an overview of RhoMobile Suite which allows developing cross-platform native mobile applications using HTML5, discusses key features like cross-platform portability and exploiting device capabilities, and previews new features of RhoMobile Suite 4.0 like expanded device support and improvements to RhoElements, RhoStudio, and RhoConnect. It also promotes the RhoMobile developer community and resources for getting started with RhoMobile development.
Native mobile apps currently have an advantage over web apps in terms of the number of apps/downloads and revenue generated. However, web apps are improving with new HTML5 features that expand their capabilities. While native apps currently have advantages in areas like performance, user experience, and monetization through app stores, web apps are improving in these areas and have advantages in development costs and updates. A hybrid approach that uses web technologies packaged in a native wrapper may be a good compromise, allowing web apps to tap into native features and app store distribution. Overall the gap between web and native is narrowing as the mobile web platform evolves.
Users spend most of their time using mobile apps rather than mobile web. Some key best practices for mobile development include considering hardware constraints like limited memory and storage, connectivity issues, and screen size variability. Apps can be monetized through paid downloads, ads, in-app purchases, or freemium models. Native, web, hybrid, and cross-platform are categories of mobile apps. User experience must be optimized for small screens and mobile contexts.
This slideshow outlines what appMobi does in some broad strokes and then goes into more detail about the gaming features that appMobi gives to HTML5 gaming.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Four Main Routes to Market for HTML5 Applications
• Mobile Browser – web apps or websites tailored for
mobile devices and running in a mobile browser
• Native Wrapper – web apps packaged in a native
wrapper and delivered through an app store
• Web-to-native Converter – apps written in JavaScript and
compiled to native code
• Native JavaScript API – HTML5 apps written for platforms
natively supporting it, such as Firefox OS, Windows 8,
Chrome OS
11
12. Confidential & Proprietarywww.dclab.com
Results of 2013 VisionMobile Survey
• 61% of developers write for the mobile browser
• 63% of the US Android Play applications cannot be written in
HTML5 for the mobile browser because some APIs are not
implemented by the browsers yet
• The 37% of US Android apps that could be implemented in
HTML5 would grow to 58% if the browsers would add support
for Power Management and WiFi APIs
• 39% of the developers create HTML5 apps for the other 3
routes to market beside the mobile browser
• 49% of the US Android apps could be implemented with
native wrappers, 63% with web-to-native converters, and 98%
with native JavaScript

Survey Conclusions and Recommendations
• Browsers should implement more HTML5 APIs starting with
power management and wifi. Content providers should push
browser vendors to implement more APIs.
• A standardized packaging solution should be developed for
native JavaScript apps, allowing such applications to be
packaged once and deployed on any supporting platform
• A device identity API should be developed to alleviate the
fears related to cookies and privacy concerns
• Developers should be better educated regarding the
possibilities offered by HTML5 – i.e., the real advantages and
drawbacks
• A debug API should be developed to enable the creation of a
set of dedicated HTML 5 debugging tools

A 2014 report from Millennial Media and comScore revealed that 56% of online content in the US is now consumed via smartphones (44%) and tablets (12%) while just 44% is consumed on desktop computers.
The shift to consuming online content using mobile devices continues to accelerate. In the 12 months leading up to this report, the number of internet users grew by 4% to 201 million. Mobile users grew NINE times faster during the same time period, while desktop users decreased by 45%. The number of digital users accessing the internet using both mobile devices and desktop computers has grown to more than 70%. Cross-platform consumption is the norm today.
Here is a listing from the survey cited in the previous slide of the various content and media types for which mobile consumption has surpassed desktop, in several cases by a wide margin. Streaming radio and games are almost all mobile, and social media and weather aren’t far behind. The trend will continue to run in mobile’s direction, though I’m guessing that online shopping will continue to have significant desktop component for the foreseeable future. People like to see large images of what they’re buying, and desktop is still the best outlet for that.
Social Media like Twitter and Facebook are geared more and more toward mobile as a matter of strategy, so it’s a pretty safe bet that mobile usage will be in the 90% area in the near future, if it’s not there already.
Here are the media for which desktop usage remains higher than mobile. Mobile usage continues to grow apace, however, so the day when it surpasses desktop consumption for these categories isn’t far off. One category I haven’t mentioned yet is Health, which at the time of this report was split right down the middle in terms of mobile and desktop consumption. My guess is that mobile has now surpassed desktop in this category.
Even for media where desktop still dominates, mobile is key strategic component for those content providers, because they realize that demand will continue to grow.
The latest data for internet usage by device shows that we are now well past the tipping point for mobile usage. Mobile digital media time in the US is now significantly higher at 51% compared to desktop (42%). The implications are clear - if you're not able to reach your audience through mobile search or display, or you're not providing a satisfactory mobile experience, you will miss out compared to competitors who are.
As you can see on the graph, the growth measured from 2008 to today in mobile internet usage has outpaced all other means by a wide margin.
The trend in mobile device usage ('vertical screens') compared to all screen use again shows that we're well past the tipping point. As you’ll note from the graph, the greatest growth in screen time over the past 5 years has been in mobile. Desktop and traditional TV screen time have remained flat, while time spent on mobile devices has grown significantly.
Given the growth in mobile usage, along with the continuing use of desktops and laptops, along with the prevalence of apps, it makes sense to consider using a code base that works across all platforms and devices, and that language is HTML5.
There are native apps with which we’re all familiar, like Angry Birds and Uber, which are written for specific hardware programs and stored locally. They work great, but you need different versions for each operating system (Android and iOS).
I want to talk about HTML5 apps, because they work across all platforms and devices. A recent research survey conducted by Vision Mobile identified the four main routes to market used for HTML5 applications, which are as follows:
Here are some of the results from that survey, which polled more than 6,000 developers worldwide, analyzed more than 30,000 Android Play apps, evaluated 42 HTML5 frameworks and tools, and interviewed 32 top experts on HTML5 vs. native.
Here are the features of HTML5 that make it attractive to content providers and the developers who write the code. Cross-platform code portability and low-cost development are the top benefits. Developers like to write a single code that will work everywhere, and content providers like the savings that come with not having to develop different versions for different operating system and devices.
The HTML5 standard is still under development, so it remains a recommendation until it is finalized by the W3C consortium, which creates and maintains these standards.. You can see the latest version at the link URL provided here. Because it’s not a standard, there are differences with how HTML5 works on various browsers and operating systems. In theory, HTML5 should work across all platforms and devices, and it does, but not always in the same way. There’s also a need for more access to hardware APIs, e.g., power management and Wifi.
Some developers consider performance as HTML5’s main problem, but most HTML5 experts disagree with this view, because performance is automatically improving with each new generation of hardware and better JavaScript compilers. The main culprit in their opinion has to do with politics, more exactly the fact that the major browser vendors are also mobile OS vendors, interested in channeling applications through their respective app stores. Google encourages native Chrome apps, Apple seems to be implementing the latest HTML5 standards but “leaves out performance related APIs, e.g. WebGL.” HTML5 for mobile will continue to grow as these issues are sorted out and overcome, and I’m confident they will be. Note that I’m giving my opinion here, but there are many in the digital content space who agree.
This graphic shows that the APIs that developers who work with HTML5 have been calling for are still mostly in the drafting stage. Note that only the Geolcation API has been officially released for use, with vibration and battery usage in the candidate release stage. The rest are either being drafted or not being developed at all, with WiFi and power management – both viewed as critically important by developers - falling into the latter category. These roadblocks still need to be overcome, but I have no doubt that they will be, because the pressure from content providers will be strong.
So in an earlier slide, we detailed the four main routes to market for HTML5 applications. This table indicates the APIs that would make the most difference if implemented for their respective routes to market, showing how many more apps could be implemented in HTML5 if they were available.
The VisionMobile survey reached several conclusions and recommendations, as follows:
So how should you prepare your content for mobile going forward? It’s time to abandon Flash, which is dead or dying. It never worked on iOS, and having to continually install updated plug-ins is awkward and annoying. HTML5 is the way to go for mobile. Native apps still have their place in the market and for certain apps are still the best choice, but you should at least consider using HTML5 to create web apps. Because they only have to be developed once, they are less costly, and they give you the option to bypass the App Store altogether.
I’ll discuss a real-world example of that in an upcoming slide.
Cassette tapes, 8-tracks, and Flash. All three of these media need a player to work, and all three media are either dead or dying. Just as CDs replaced tapes as a more efficient means of playing music, and digital files replaced CDs to do the same, HTML5 is making Flash obsolete.
The HTML5 versus Flash debate has been a hot topic among Web developers for years – and even more so since Steve Jobs published his now infamous 2010 letter touting HTML5 as the future and Flash as “no longer necessary.” But whether you side with Flash or HTML5, there’s no denying that the implications of HTML5 on video and the Web are real.
For online video, HTML5 offers two things Flash does not: mobile capabilities and semantic markup. The growth of mobile engagement; the rise of Interactive Video for entertainment, advertising and shopping; and HTML5’s open structure all combine to create the future of an HTML5-based Web, leaving Flash to eventually shuffle into its place in the Retired Tech Hall of Fame.
Those in the advertising, shopping, and enterprise industries are also beginning to focus their attention on mobile’s importance, as well as on Flash’s limitations with online video.
A recent open letter to advertisers by the Interactive Advertising Bureau – signed by several major publishers and ad firms, including Conde Nast, Forbes, Google, The New York Times, Time Inc. and the Wall Street Journal – urges marketers to implement the HTML5 standard for their mobile ads so that they can run on different platforms. The letter calls for all ads to be developed in a mobile-compatible format so that they look great on all screens. And to quote it directly, “the one open, industry-standard, universal format for building mobile-ready creative is HTML5.”
According to Digital Buzz Blog, 32 percent of time spent on iOS and Android devices is spent playing games. With HTML5, developers can create games that work on all devices.
Although mobile is the most obvious advantage of HTML5 over Flash, there’s a feature that lies in semantic structure that’s just as important and especially powerful for Interactive Videos based on HTML5. Web crawlers and search engines can’t see inside of Flash, which is a completely closed container.
HTML5 makes creating accessible sites easier for two main reasons: semantics and ARIA. New HTML headings like <header>, <footer>, <nav>, <section>, <aside>, etc. allow screen readers to easily access content. With new semantic tags, screen readers can better examine the HTML document and create a better user experience.
ARIA is a W3C spec that is mainly used to assign specific “roles” to elements in an HTML document – essentially creating important landmarks on the page: header, footer, navigation or article, via role attributes.
Getting your media to play correctly with Flash has always been pretty much a nightmare. You had to use the <embed> and <object> tags and assign a huge list of parameters to make it work correctly. HTML5’s video and audio tags treat media as images. It’s actually that simple; but keep in mind that because old browsers don’t like HTML5, you’ll need to add a bit more code to add parameters like height, width, and autoplay. This code is much simpler than that used for Flash, however.
For Doctype, <Doctype html> is all you need; nothing more, nothing less. For developers, this means no more cutting and pasting long unreadable lines of code and no more dirty head tags filled with doctype attributes. They can just type it out and go.
If you are passionate about simple, elegant, easy-to-read code, then HTML5 is the format for you. It allows you to write clear and descriptive semantic code, which enables easy separation of meaning from style and content.
One of the best features of HTML5 is the new local storage feature. It’s a bit of a cross between session cookies and a client-side database. It’s better than cookies because it allows for storage across multiple windows, it has better security and performance, and data will persist even after the browser is closed. Because it’s essentially a client- side database, you don’t have to worry about the user deleting cookies, and it has been adopted by all the popular browsers.
HTML5 comes with several useful APIs like drag and drop, offline storage, browser history management, and timed media playback that allow for superior interactions.
You can develop games using HTML5’s <canvas> tag. It provides a great, mobile-friendly way to develop interactive games. If your developers have built Flash games before, they’ll love building HTML5 games.
Modern, popular browsers all support HTML5 (Chrome, Firefox, Safari IE9 and Opera) and the HTML5 doctype was created so that all browsers, even the really old and annoying ones like IE6, can use it. Note that although old browsers recognize the doctype, they likely can’t use all the new HTML5 tags. Fortunately, HTML5 is built to make things easier and more cross-browser friendly; so in those older IE browsers that don’t like the new tags, adding some simple Javascript will allow them to use the new elements.
The adoption of mobile devices continues to grow very rapidly, as we’ve already noted. HTML5 is the most mobile ready tool for developing mobile sites and apps. With Adobe announcing the death of mobile Flash, HTML5 will be the dominant language for mobile web application development.
HTML5 provides developers with new, meaningful ways to organize content. Using new tags such as <header>, <footer>, <article> and <section>, pages can be organized in a more relevant fashion. What this means for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is that search engines will have contextual information about the content for indexing, making it easier to present additional relevant results based on context. This move towards a more “Semantic Web” is what many are referring to as “Web 3.0”. Harnessing new semantic technologies will help to improve a Website’s discoverability and interrelationships.
HTML5 web forms have introduced new elements, input types, attributes, and other features. Many of these features have been used in interfaces for years: form validation, combo boxes, placeholder text, and the like. The difference is that where before you needed JavaScript to create these behaviors, they’re now available directly in the browser; all you need to do is set an attribute in your markup to make them available.
As websites adopt the new HTML5 elements, we will see greater consistency in terms of the HTML used to code a web page on one site compared to another. This will make it easier for designers and developers to immediately understand how a web page is structured.
Many new features and standards have emerged as part of HTML 5. Once these features are detected by today’s browsers, they can enhance your application. HTML5 makes it easy to build application with streamlined front-ends, drag and drop tools, discussion boards, wikis, and other useful elements.
Although cookies have been used to track unique user data for years, they have serious disadvantages, with the biggest one being that all of your cookie data is added to every HTTP request header. This has a measurable impact on response time, so it’s good practice to reduce cookie size. HTML5 uses session storage and local storage in place of cookies. It’s not a permanent database, so it enables temporary storage of structured data.
New HTML5 geolocation APIs make location, whether generated via GPS or other methods, directly available to any HTML5-compatible browser-based application.
