Slides from my keynote on testing mobile apps at SQuAD conference

Thanks to my hosts at SQuAD conference for inviting me. I’ve revamped much of my material on the topic of testing mobile apps. As ever I have lots more I could do to improve the materials. Time and practice will help me do so. As would useful feedback. Here’s the set of slides in PDF format

Presentation on: How to design your mobile app

This presentation was made at a seminar organised by HP in Helsinki, on 11th April 2013. I don’t claim it’s definitive or complete, rather I cover several topics I consider important and relevant based on my experiences working at and with companies who create and develop mobile apps.

The Mobile Developer’s Guides

If you are interested in developing, testing, and marketing mobile apps there are several excellent eBooks available that include these topics. I liked the books so much I’ve ended up contributing to both of them. They are collaborative works with multiple contributors and authors. They are fun, easy to read and slightly quirky.

Here are links to both of them:
http://www.wipconnector.com/download/GuideToTheParallelUniverse_3rdEdition.pdf (this is the guide on how to market your mobile app). My contribution is the introduction to Mobile Analytics topic.

http://www.enough.de/products/mobile-developers-guide/ has a download link to the current version of the Development Guide – advises people on how to develop (write/create) and test mobile apps.I’ve written several chapters entirely, including the ones on testing and mobile analytics, and edit the entire book.
