The rise of social, local, and mobile technologies is causing a revolution in how software is developed and tested. Testing teams must now test applications across a fragmented landscape of devices, locations, and social integrations. This new environment presents challenges for replicating real-world conditions and comprehensively testing applications without visibility into third-party services that are constantly changing. Testing teams need to develop new strategies to keep pace with these trends and ensure their opinions are represented when priorities are set.

Mobile App Testing: Moving Outside the LabTechWell
No matter how thorough the test team or how expansive the test lab, Chris Munroe knows that defects still abound in mobile apps after launch. With more “non-software” companies launching mobile apps every day, testers have increased pressure to ensure apps are secure and function as intended. In retail and media especially, audiences are incredibly diverse and expect apps to work every time, everywhere, and on every device. These expectations make it imperative for companies to take every possible step to make their mobile apps defect free. This is increasingly difficult to do when all your testing occurs within the confines of the lab—and your users live in the wild. Using real-world examples from USA Today, Chris identifies why you need to test your mobile apps both inside and outside the lab—and do so in a way that is secure, effective, and timely.

Mobile Usability: Why Great UX Matters More Than EveruTest
The world of mobile usability is quickly becoming a critical path for launching successful mobile apps. As the market matures and users become more sophisticated, apps must do more than function correctly, which is already an uphill battle in the ever-expanding mobile landscape. Apps must also be intuitive, efficient, easy-to-use and strategically designed to convert leads into revenue for m-commerce.
Yet, there's a lack of mobile usability standards and a complex matrix of form factors-- starting with the choice between mobile web versus native app-- that makes effective mobile interface development a daunting task. During this session, Peter Shih will frame the challenge of mobile usability and outline a range of technology solutions that can help marketing professionals and software developers launch mobile apps that delight end users and exceed expectations.
uTest CMO Matt Johnston Presents "Online Communities: Changing the Way Work ...uTest
Anyone can build a loosely affiliated, unstructured crowd - a mob. The key to successfully employing a crowdsourcing model in a b2b/professional services type space is to advance beyond the realm of a ‘mob’ to create an engaged, interactive community of diverse and skilled professionals. With the help of reputation and compensation systems, community recruitment and engagement, public profiles and social media, crowdsourcing has the potential to take the services industry to new heights.
Using real-world examples, Johnston will dispel the most common myths about crowdsourcing; explain why it doesn’t mean the end to in-house staffs; and reveal why it is NOT just another marketing buzz word.
uTest offers load testing services using either synthetic load generated by their tools or hundreds of live testers, working with clients' existing testing tools or suggested partner tools. A uTest project manager guides clients by first understanding their load testing needs, then selecting engineers and testers to match requirements and helping through every step of the process.
A uTest project manager will work with the client to understand their load testing needs. uTest will find experts in their community to create load scripts or write scripts. The client will access uTest's testing platform and community to get a load script written by a performance testing expert and detailed load and failure reports created by experienced testers, along with expert results analysis.
A uTest project manager will work with clients to understand their localization testing needs and find testers from the global uTest community who match the client's requirements to test their app in different languages and cultural contexts. Clients will then receive a list of issues and feedback from the real-world localization testing on the uTest platform and interact directly with testers.
The document discusses the journey of a startup called uTest from its founding to becoming a successful company. It describes how the CEO realized crowdsourced testing could test software in real-world conditions (paragraph 6). Some important early decisions included focusing on functional over usability testing initially and betting on the unproven idea of crowdsourcing (paragraphs 8-9). The CEO discusses lessons learned around staying lean, expecting the unexpected, fundraising and preparing the company for scaling (paragraphs 13-27).

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.

4. Stuff Gets Built; Then It Breaks
1. Marketing identifies a need
2. Product specifies a solution
3. Engineering builds the product
4. QA tests the application
5. Help desk listens to complaints
6. Sales & execs blame everyone
7. Then we do it all over again and
hope for better results… Vicious Cycle

| 5
7. To Make Matters Worse
• Users are less tolerant
• Social media & app stores give everyone a megaphone
• So their problem… is your problem
| 7
8. The Challenge
Why It Matters More:
The SoLoMo Boom
| 8
9. Enterprise Consumerization
• The Consumerization of Enterprise Computing
– Technological disruption is pervasive
– NO industry is exempt
– B2B is B2C
– Everyone’s a retailer
• Not just for games and personal use
– Docs
– Data
– Publishing
• Not just your public site
– CRM systems
– BI & analytics tools
– Productivity suites
| 9
10. Social: Real-Time Communication
• Enterprise social revolution isn’t coming… it’s here
– Nothing is disconnected
– No industry is immune
• The stats on social media adoption in Fortune 100 alone:
– 77% leverage Twitter
– 69% utilize LinkedIn
– 61% enable Facebook
– 57% incorporate YouTube
• Gartner: By 2016, social integrated w/ nearly all B2B apps
| 10
11. Social: Impact On Testing
• Enterprise adoption of social presents security & privacy hurdles
– Internally, a channel for spam, malware and data breaches
– Confidential data may be posted and trigger regulatory penalties
– Externally, increasingly used for user authentication on your products
• And functional testing challenges
– Testing code & integrations that aren’t yours
– That constantly changes
– And you will get the blame
| 11
12. Local: Can You Hear Me Now?
• Businesses use location for more than just marketing
• Numerous applications for location-based technologies
– Asset tracking
– Maps & routing
– Location finders
– Check-in services
– Geo-based personalization
• Web and mobile have gone local
– 1 of 5 searches has local intent
– 1 of 3 mobile searches has local intent
| 12
13. Local: Impact On Testing
• Not just a mobile problem
– Localization testing
– Geo-based personalization
• But it is a mobile problem too
– Apps used outside the confines of the
QA lab, under in-the-wild conditions
• When apps & users are distributed
around the country or globe, a
portion of testing should be too
| 13
14. Mobile: Enterprise Impact
• ABI Research anticipates worldwide enterprise mobile data
revenues to reach $133 billion by 2014
• Enterprise mobility no longer just for email
– Business apps: CRM, ERP, HR systems
– Productivity apps: docs, spreadsheets, presentations
– Collaboration apps: email, IM, publishing
– Medical apps: health records, patient education
• Tablet-mania, both inside and out
– Aflac
– Mercedes-Benz
– Wells Fargo
– SAP
| 14
15. Mobile: Impact On Testing
• Mobile web vs. native apps
• Form factors matter again
– Feature phones
– Smart phones
– Tablets
• Ever-expanding HW & SW costs
• Back to the future
– A return to the late 90’s web
- Lack of automation or load tools
- Lack of security or usability standards
- Lack of dev kits or tools
- Extremely fluid landscape
| 15
24. From Surviving To Thriving
• Keep testing in-the lab
– Keep training
– Keep automating
– Keep innovating
• Recognize that it will never again be sufficient
• Identify the right way for you to test in-the-wild
– Real-world conditions
– Mirror your user base
- Technologically: OS, browser, anti-virus, device, carrier
- Geographically: Continent, country, city, language
- Demographically: Age, gender, education, employment, industry, hobby
– Maximize relevant testing coverage
– Manage signal-to-noise ratio
| 24
25. Testing In The Wild
• Two ways to get there: Beta programs and crowdsourced testing
| 25
26. Beta “Testing” Programs
• Pros:
– No direct costs
– Lives outside the lab
• Cons:
– Users ≠ testers
- Rarely diagnostic
- Poor signal-to-noise ratio
– Puts unfinished product in front of customers
• Many firms discontinued beta as a core part of QA
– Hidden costs
– Takes too long
– Not actionable results
– Didn’t yield higher quality
| 26
27. Crowdsourced Testing
• Pros:
– Lives outside the lab
– Profiled, professional testers
– Mirrors user base
– Protects company IP
– Much higher signal-to-noise ratio
• Cons:
– Carries direct costs
– Requires careful partner vetting
– Requires buy-in from QA leadership
• Increasingly popular complement to in-the-lab testing
| 27
31. From Mob to Community
And mobs don’t work in every category
Example: delivering a skilled service at an
enterprise level of predictability and efficiency
requires an orderly “community” capable of
consistently producing the desired results
| 31
36. Tenet 2: Know Thy Partner
• Selection criteria are vital:
– Referenceable customer successes
– By company size
– By industry
– Ability to adapt to your legacy systems and processes
– Ability to satisfy legal requirements
– IP protection
– NDA
– Ability to do the job
– Consistent
– Predictable
– Professional
| 36
37. Tenet 3: Know Thy Community
1. Community profiling
– Technical
– Geographic
– Demographic
2. Community ratings & micro-ratings
– By testing type
– By app type
– By industry
3. Highly precise matching
– Between each project & each tester
| 37
38. Tenet 4: Know Thyself
• Is your culture highly cautious & risk-averse?
• Are you in a highly regulated industry?
– Defense industry
– PCI, PII or PHI
• Do you have an appetite for innovation?
• Are you centrally organized or decentralized?
– Sourcing
– IT & IS
– Engineering
– QA & QE
| 38
39. Tenet 5: Know Thy Trends
(Enterprises That Already Leverage The Crowd)
| 39
41. Google
Global power Google taps into the crowd
to augment its in-house testing resources
– Challenge:
- Tech execs sought ways to scale testing and achieve in-the-wild coverage
- Wanted to ensure testing had real-world relevance to end-user experience
– Strategy:
- Have invested heavily in outsourcing, in-house resources and test automation
- Google was eager to find a better, more scalable approach to app testing
- Google explored a wide variety of alternatives and found uTest
– Results:
- After extensive 2009 pilot project, Google has since expanded its use to 18+ apps
– Web, desktop and mobile
- Now leverages in-the-wild testing broadly & frequently, as part of core QA playbook
- Relationship is pioneering in-the-wild testing as complement to enterprise’s in-the-lab
| 41
42. Microsoft Security Essentials
Security Essentials – a free anti-virus app
– Challenge:
- v1.0 product in entirely new category, so IP preservation was vital
- Needed to test functionality under real-world conditions on vast matrix of hardware,
browsers, Windows OSes, and third-party applications
- Needed testing coverage in strategic geo-locations (China, India, South America) to
mirror expected user-base and fill blind spots
– Strategy:
- Recognized that it couldn’t solve this solely in the lab
- Assemble a targeted team of testers to perform a series of exploratory and test case
execution to cover stated testing criteria
– Results:
- After two months of continuous testing in ten countries on four continents – hundreds of
detailed bug reports, executed test cases, and user reviews had been prioritized
- The company continues to run regression tests on the software to coincide with major
upgrades or new releases
| 42
44. Key Takeaways
• Apps Universe Has Forever Changed Testing
– Exponentially more diverse user environments
– Devices
– Software configurations
– Locations
– User demographics
– Users less tolerant
– Quality issues no longer private
• QA Must Play Catch-Up
– By improving inside the QA lab
– By moving beyond it, where your users live, work & play
– Beta programs and/or crowdsourced testing
– App quality winners are combining: in-the-lab testing
+ in-the-wild testing

Editor's Notes
As I mentioned consumerization is a driving force behind this current shift and by looking at the consumer market, we know it is impossible to resist. Whether it is at home or work, it is human nature to want greater social interaction, more control over our surroundings and more actionable information.Speaking of actionable information, Just last week I met with VisaQuate and they have a great business doing just that. They take BI data, which was already transformed and transform it even further into even more actionable information. I love it, at some point in the future, my dashboard at work will be so simple and yet precise that I can predict the next year with a 5 second glance. For now, I only wish I could get better information on one of a million mobile devices in the world.

Remember I mentioned that Salesforce bought Manymoon. They also have Chatter and Yammer is there with its on solution, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. Nearly every major enterprise software provider is adding social features in some way. As test engineers, assuming we agree what social features are in general, we have a couple of things we need to consider during test planning.One is collaborative testing and the other is security testing.For collaborative testing I am referring to multiple people testing a feature or set of features in concert. It is like end to end business process testing just in real-time and with a single person orchestrating the test. We have been doing a lot of this at uTest lately for mobile gaming and facebook apps and it has yielded a lot of critical data conflict bugs for those companies.
For security, I am sure you have seen the headlines. As we open up communication channels both internally and with partners and customers, we open up opportunities for ip to be lost. Some of that IP will be lost through penetration attacks, which we can test for.However, most of it will be lost through loose lipped employees that have a larger forum than just the water cooler. It may not be the QA teams job to train employees on what they can and cannot say or to moderate these channels once they are live. It is our responsibility to raise these concerns during design time and then test preventative and reactive mechanisms used to deal with them.
Recent developments in technology and our understanding on how to implement it is opening up a whole new world for Geo-Location. One of the more interesting for me is Geo-Fencing. Imagine if you will that STP had a mobile app that each of you installed on your smart phones. By utilizing GPS, triangulation and or basic orienteering, it would know where you are and, more importantly, where you are in relation to a predefined location. With that data, It could have checked you into the conference when you walked through the front doorIt could have routed you to your next session and scanned you in when you sat downIt could offer you the ability to chat about how awesome this keynote is with other people that are in this room or send questions to the host without bothering everyone on twitter. When you leave, it can disable those services automatically.
Of course, programmers and product managers love this and can think of millions of ways to use it. As testers, boy are we in trouble. Now our test plans just got a lot more complex. In addition to the obvious, like os, hardware and test steps, we also need to consider time, location and connection types. Within just connection types, we have wifi, carriers, speed, rfid, etcIn the last year, uTest actually ran several projects where testers went to specific locations to test products like these all over the world. After all, it is one thing to test a product in a sterile lab, but the real bugs happened when people were interacting with the products in the real world. You would be surprised how much low batteries, changing towers, and poor reception can completely kill an applications usabilityOk, we are closing in on the end now and I think it may be time for some disruption
That is not surprising and the manufacturers and carriers are counting on it. ABI says we may see $133 billion in data revenue worldwide by 2014To me, given that even the old stogy medical industry is mobilizing quickly, I think that number might be conservative.I further base that statement on the fact that 40% of uTest’s business is now Mobile app related and that number is not restricted to games or consumer appsWe are seeing significant increases in apps for business, productivity and collaboration across all of the major device families.Now, I grant you that many of these apps start as outsourced projects for point solutions, but they are now becoming strategic, coming in house and becoming mission critical.
