Introduction I just finished giving my talk at StarEast about testing on a rooted device, and it went wonderfully. The room wasn’t packed, but the people who were there were the correct people…and that is what I really care about. We covered a good overview of what elevated privileges means for each device, discussed multiple […]
Dear Loyal Readers, Security, like safety, almost always makes your life harder. It is inefficient. Now, as I said before, I love Jenkins for scripting and organizing project operations and today I’d like to talk about a security feature that can help you have your cake and eat it too.

One of the key parts of the Agile process is the idea of retrospectives. Often, these retrospectives take the form: same of, less of, or more of. The point of retrospectives is to realize where you can improve and also what you are doing well as a team. On my current project, we have these […]

In the previous blog, I detailed a great starting point for mobile application testing— the AppUse framework—and highlighted its greatest pros and cons. This tool, created by AppSec-Labs, combines many additional tools to perform static and dynamic analysis of an application and the smartphone device that it runs. Remember, please only use the tools and […]

Introduction Back in October I wrote a post about testing your mobile application on different networks and I promised a few follow-up articles.

Last week I was able to talk about some of my DevOps experiences at the March 2015 DevOpsDC Meetup. I told the story about how we took a project that was just starting Agile and was deploying a risky release to production every 6 months or so, and over 4+ years brought it to deploying […]
