Effective and Efficient Mobile Testing in an Agile Environment | Keynote by Dynatrace Industry Technical Presentation
If it were easy to produce high-quality mobile apps, everyone would be doing it. But mobile development is tough. Consumers expect constant enhancements and a great experience on an ever-growing variety of devices. Many mobile app development teams are turning to agile to meet the time-to-market and quality demands of their customers. But these same teams often focus on changing the development (coding) process, and neglect the testing. In this session, we’ll discuss and show real examples of how to best carry out the major phases of testing within the mobile agile process, including unit testing, build acceptance testing, regression testing, and exploratory or negative testing.
- Learn how best to perform unit testing, build acceptance testing, regression testing, negative tests, and exploratory testing for mobile apps
- Design your test strategy with optimal device selection
- Use a cloud-based mobile testing tool with both automated and manual tests to speed the agile processes
- Integrate testing activities with development and deployment tools
