May 15 Meeting - Automating Your Mobile Web App Testing

[Scott Hickey]

Description:

Interested in automating your mobile webapp testing using some cool technologies? Leveraging Geb and Spock, both groovy technologies, developers and even QA team members can build out a functional test suite for their mobile webapps with relative ease - using not only a desktop browser, but with a mobile device emulator and on actual devices as well.  In this talk, I'll provide an overview of the technologies you'll be leveraging, then demonstrate putting them to work.  We'll walk and talk through best practice examples for using these technologies, and share tips/tricks for building out an automated functional testing suite.  Finally, we'll talk about cloud solutions that you and/or your company could employ to further your automation efforts, and answer any questions you might have, so that you can leave the meeting armed to begin your own adventures in the automated mobile web testing space.
