October Topic - Automated Mobile Application Testing with Appium

Developing and supporting a mobile application is a very complex world: two completely different platforms, constantly shifting operating systems, new devices being introduced on a weekly basis, and changes that we as developers make ourselves. These complexities make it a world that requires constant testing, but unfortunately it is not practical to have your team constantly testing every corner of your mobile app. Or is it?

Appium is a mobile testing ecosystem that makes possible the development of automated tests that interact with your mobile app in the same way that a real user would. And it's free as in beer. Come learn about what Appium is, its capabilities and limitations, and leave with some hard-won practical tips and tricks that will save you time and effort.

Presented by Frank Markovich
Frank Markovich is the founder and CEO of FrankoSystems Inc, a company focusing on bringing automated mobile app testing to development teams.

This month:Guy Barker from Microsoft CELA

Ever wondered how you can empower more people to achieve more? Well, you can start by building powerful features that can be efficiently leveraged by everyone, regardless of how your customers interact with their device. Whether they input at their device through such things as eye gaze, keyboard, speech, or touch, or consume what your app has to offer through such things as visuals or audio, your customers are relying on you to support their modes of interaction. See demos of all these modes of input and output in action, using a Windows UWP XAML app and Xamarin.Android app, and learn what it took to make all that possible. Most importantly, learn how the demo app’s user experience was improved for everyone, thanks to consideration around accessibility for all!

Who are your users and what do you code and test for in native apps to address the major categories of users with disabilities? Is there automated testing for accessibility in native apps? There will be a screen reader demo and a Q & A time on how to use the screen reader for iOS and Android.

September Topic - A Rethink On MVVM Patterns and Data Binding

Do you find that the MVVM pattern all by itself leaves you with questions about where certain elements of your application should live? Do you find that data binding "all the things" is creating unwanted complexity? Come here Joe and Scott talk about some lessons learned and patterns to consider that have bubbled out of a large Xamarin code base they have been involved in.
