Getting started on Mobile testing with Calabash - Part Three

A SkillsCast for this session is not available.

This workshop is a hands-on intro to BDD for Mobile using Calabash. It will enable which enables QA Engineers and developers to collaborate with business to define executable specifications that serve as living documentation for the apps being built. Calabash leverages cucumber to turn specifications into cross-platform automated acceptance tests for mobile apps. This will serve as a whirlwind tour of Calabash. The class is almost entirely hands-on and participants will get familiar with Calabash and will be ready to start using in their own projects.

Because of the short workshop duration, we do assume familiarity with BDD and Cucumber-rb. To author automated tests we require some familiarity with automated testing and/or development. Manual testers and project stakeholders are welcome too - this will enable collaboration around creating feature files and test automation.

We'll then go on to incrementally build-up a test suite for a real cross-platform mobile app, discussing best practices along the way. We'll wrap up with a demo of running the suite on Xamarin Test Cloud, a cloud-services that provides automated access to more than a thousand mobile devices and delightful test reporting.
