Testing on mobile

Dear mobile enthusiast,

We'll get together December 9th, 2015 for our last mobel event of the year.

Testing of mobile applications has often been neglected, but the enthusiasm for testing and TDD is growing. Many people though struggle to apply it effectively. We'll show how to test, and how you can write clear, readable and maintainable tests. Besides unit testing and mocking, we'll also talk about writing test cases that exercise a UI and check for expected views and states in the application. To top this all of, we'd also like to demonstrate how this all fits into a continuous integration or maybe even a continuous delivery setup.

Speakers:

Joris Dubois works as a iOS consultant at AppFoundry. After his graduation he started learning Objective-C and quickly became familiar with the do's and don'ts. During the development of several applications at VRT he felt the need of unit testing. Now, 2 years later, testing code has become a daily thing and he feels it's the right time to convince others to do so.

Besides work he likes to hang out with friends on Teamspeak and play some good games.

Filip Maelbrancke is an Android developer at AppFoundry. Likes clean code, tests, the occasional dash of TDD and finding out how to apply the best practices and principles of the Software Craftsmanship movement to Android. Filip will show how the Android team has improved the testing story for Android during the years, but also how the Android testing framework can be complemented with several other tools and libraries to help you build better quality applications.

We would like to also thank VRT for yet again hosting this event.
