Testing of Mobile Apps with Calabash and Xamarin Test Cloud
This talk serves as an introduction to the automated UI-testing technology Calabash and to Xamarin Test Cloud, a service that provides cloud-based access to hundreds of mobile devices for automated testing purposes. You'll learn about the benefits of automated UI testing on mobile apps, and see how easy it is to get started with UI testing using Calabash. Calabash is free, open-source and supports BDD (Behaviour Driven Developent) via the Cucumber tool.
While Calabash is very useful on its own, its power is only fully realized when tests are run frequently on large sets of devices with different screen-sizes, resolutions and operating system versions. In a short live demo, you'll see how you can tap into this full potential with Xamarin Test Cloud.
After attending this talk you'll have an understanding of why automated UI testing is useful, an understanding of Calabash and practical knowledge on how to use it. Last but not least, you'll get an overview of what Xamarin Test Cloud offers as a mobile cloud-testing service.
Note: While this talk uses a Xamarin app as the sample project, Xamarin Test Cloud and Calabash supports all native and hybrid mobile apps independent of technology was used to build it. Hence, familiarity with Xamarin is not needed to attend this talk.
