Such problems need a solution which can let users perform actions on hosting machine as well as the emulator. Sikuli can be one such solution.

This session will focus on the following

• Challenge in automating on mobile emulator running on windows OR Mac using conventional tools
• What approach can help
• A possible solution using Sikuli Tool.
• How to run any tests on device which are written for emulator
• Share learning from using Sikuli it to automate an emulator on a Virtual box which does not give control to any tool for automation.
• Demo using Sikuli
• Q & A

By targeting the web interface, an attacker may not only try to make the application unavailable but may also try to hamper its performance. As most applications have a web interface, that works as a hotspot gateway for any attacker to perform malicious activities.

The session will talk of a research case study, expected mitigations and also the impact on Cloud Clients. The session will present a new security test, that can be included in performance test suite.

I am currently working at Spiderlogic India as a Test Architect. I love to get my hands on new tools and technology, especially in testing. I am currently exploring Performance Testing, Security testing and Mobile Application testing.

Product migration is not a single step process; it involves various tasks and it is difficult to automate those tasks using a single script/program. ANT gives various facilities to execute simple and complex tasks using in-build tasks as well as using custom tasks. Due to which we can write small tasks in Java, Groovy etc. to achieve our goal if we needed in product migration testing.

This automation speeds up the testing process. It enhances testing by covering areas that are difficult or time consuming to test manually. It eases to find out regressions. It allows us to cover more ground and improve the quality of testing efforts in migration.

As ANT is platform independent scripting language, we can create ANT tasks to test the necessary testing scenarios in a single ANT script.  In many cases this automation also eases the task of finding regressions. ANT provides various facilities to execute simple and complex tasks using in-build tasks as well as using custom tasks.

This session will cover different aspects of Ant based Migration Testing approach. This session will refer to a real word use case where we migrated a product to next available version (Windows as well as on UNIX)

The takeaway for the audience would be a knowledge of automating complex tasks which cannot be automated using single automation tool.

Speaker:

Areas of Expertise:
• Functional Testing, Integration Testing, Report Testing, Documentation Testing and Regression Testing.
• Writing Automation Scripts using Ant, Shell

Vishal Harane will be presenting on “Developing Platform Independent Migration Testing Framework – Approaches using ANT” at the 2nd Annual IndicThreads.com Conference On Software Quality to be held in Pune, India on 25,26 March 2011.Click here for a list of other Speakers & Sessions @ The Conference 

However, due to the lack of standardization, availability of sample testing devices along with the variety of screen sizes and resolutions, operating systems and versions, it is nearly impossible for the developers and testers to maintain a decent performance level for the end application. To add to this, there are two major challenges to be handled: the dynamic nature of the mobile market, and the ability to quickly and cost -effectively respond to such a rapidly changing market.

The only available and feasible solution in such scenarios is to use a cloud-based testing approach for mobile applications which is capable of meeting the above challenges. This innovative approach offers Web-based access to a large pool of real handsets and devices connected to live networks spread globally, providing enterprises with end-to-end control for manual and automated testing practices.

Implementing a cloud-based testing approach with agile testing methodologies for mobile applications is the need of the hour to quickly and cost-effectively respond to rapidly changing markets, with a satisfactory level of service quality and compatibility maintained across the wide variety of available mobile devices.

This session will look at

• Traditional Testing techniques for Mobile Apps in brief
• Limitations of Traditional Testing techniques for Mobile Apps
• Emerging Trends to overcome the limitations
• How Cloud based approach will be helpful
• General Cloud based testing and Cloud based Testing for Mobile Applications
• Types of Cloud Based Testing for Mobile Applications
• Main Features of the Cloud-based Testing for Mobile Apps
• Advantages and Challenges in Cloud Based Testing for Mobile Apps
• Future Scope – Mobile Cloud Automation

The case study focuses to resolve the issues of extensive effort consumed in build and deployment process from multiple branches in source repository and aim at Identification of source code integration issues at the earliest stage. This can further be enhanced to limit the manual intervention by integration of build system with test automation tool.

The above can be achieved by using different CI tools (like Hudson/Bamboo/TeamCity/CruiseControl etc) for continuous build preparation and its integration with any test automation suite. The case study specifies the use of CI-Hudson tool for continuous integration using ANT tool for build preparation and further invoking the automation test suite developed using selenium.

It also discusses the limitations and challenges of using such an integration system for testing a web based application deployed on Apache Tomcat server. It also details additional plugins available to enhance such an integration of multiple systems and what can be achieved using the above integration.

It is crucial to test these applications for accessibility as it is concerned with making interfaces perceivable, operable, and understandable. Accessibility testing is also required to assess the software for conformance to accessibility standards and guidelines.

It is often classified into three categories: keyboard, color and assistive technology accessibility. Different techniques are used for accessibility testing. Typically an accessibility expert evaluates the software to make sure that it conforms to the accessibility laws, standards and guidelines and creates a legal document that can be provided to customers.

With the overview of Flex accessibility features, this session highlights best practices that can be incorporated in accessibility testing for flex.

Takeaways for audience: Overview of accessibility testing, accessibility features in Flex and accessibility testing best practices for Flex.
