So, earlier this year, when the Selenified press release was sent out, I got some great feedback from Alan Richardson. I was thrilled this had somehow popped up on his radar, and even more excited that he took the time to not only take a look at the framework, but also to share his thoughts. Several of […]
In the current environment where speed of release time is accentuated and there is pressure to frequently release value to end users, many organizations are realizing that agile testing can help fully integrate quality into the development and delivery process. However, this is not always easy for organizations to achieve on their own and Coveros […]
I frequently talk about best practices when writing test cases in the Mobile Application Testing Course that I teach. I recently ran into an issue on a project and figured it was worth throwing this information out for all to share. Test cases are great; obviously, they’re important to have, whether they’re automated or manual, as […]

This is the first in a series of posts I plan to do as an introduction to the basics of Appium. In this post I will walk through how to use tools that come with Appium to record the basic steps of a functional test for a sample iOS application and then how to clean that code […]
Introduction For my mobile testing, I’ve been using emulators more and more, as their capabilities improve, and my testing moves beyond the features that simulators can provide (see several of my old posts on using browsers for simulation). I have spent a lot of time with Genymotion, as it provides a lot of excellent features, […]
Introduction A few months, I wrote a blog post about performing compatibility testing for mobile web apps. Since that time, I have been talking with Sauce Labs about putting together a webinar focusing on locally debugging and executing compatibility testing that will eventually be run in the cloud. And that time is finally almost upon us! You […]
