    Frank goes to Hollywood: Trends in Mobile Application...
    Post posted April 12, 2011 by Adam Monago

    [originally posted here]

    Please join us for a Shopzilla and ThoughtWorks co-sponsored event, "A talk in two halves" discussing mobile application development.  We'll start by looking at the overall trends and challenges in mobile development, including an overview of the different platforms. We'll discuss cross-platform options and the trade-offs associated with them. We'll also describe the agile process ThoughtWorks is using to predictably deliver mobile apps on 3 distinct platforms. A key component of this delivery is rapid feedback via a suite of automated tests.

    In the second half of the talk we'll dive into some details around how we perform automated testing. We'll show how we test on the iPad and iPhone platforms using Frank, a tool that ThoughtWorks developed to remotely drive native iOS apps using cucumber.

    Automated Acceptance Tests for iOS using Frank

    Frank enables automated testing of native iOS apps in much the same way that Selenium enables automated testing of web apps. We'll see Frank in action, examine what Frank tests look like, discover how Frank works under the hood, and talk about what Frank can learn from Selenium.

    Mobile Application Testing with Selenium and Continuous Integration

    Bio: Jason Huggins co-founded Sauce Labs and currently leads product direction. Prior to Sauce Labs, Jason was a Test Engineer at Google where he supported the grid-scale "Selenium Farm" for testing Google applications such as Gmail and Google Docs. Jason's experience also includes time at ThoughtWorks in Chicago as a software developer. While at ThoughtWorks, Jason created the Selenium testing framework out of the need to cross-browser test a new in-house time and expense system. He tweets as @hugs
