About the speakers...Carlos BleHe started earning money by writing software back in 2000. In 2008 Carlos started using TDD for pretty much every piece of software he needed to write. In 2010 he published the first book on TDD in the Spanish language. In the last three years he has been training developers in several countries, and writing code with them. Apart from that, he has been investing his time and money in several web start-ups, always applying what he teaches to his own crafted software. Jenny MulhollandAs Test Lead at Softwire she is fortunate enough to be involved with a broad spectrum of testing from web to mobile, functional to non-functional, manual to automated. She is an advocate of Rapid Software Testing and enjoys collaborating with others to explore new development and testing techniques and make better software. |
We are increasingly moving towards mobile devices to fulfil our day-to-day computing needs. More smartphones are sold than PCs but many people are unclear on what changes to test strategies are needed when working with mobile. We'll spend a majority of the session testing a mobile application across a variety of platforms, and reporting the results in real time to the rest of the group. All you need to bring along is an open mind and as many mobile devices as you can get your hands-on.

This workshop will provide you with a set of tools that you can take back and implement straight away in your testing profession as well as learning skills for your everyday life, by using interactive creativity, critical thinking games, and easy to remember techniques. The focus is on freeing up your mind to allow creative ideas to flow and then re-evaluating those ideas using critical thinking approaches. These are the concepts that you will take back with you to use in your daily working environment. If that is not enough to convince you, then how does the idea of getting some freebies to take away with you help? You can read about these concepts in more detail on John's blog. |
