Elevating Mobile App Quality: 5 Essential Steps for Optimal App Performance

Automation is no longer optional when it comes to testing. So why are so many organizations struggling with moving from manual to automated testing, especially with mobile apps? Join our podcast-style interview where Emily Thomas, an automation expert, reveals her recipe for successfully helping organizations accelerate their move from manual to automated testing.

Accelerating Automation: How to Fast-Track Mobile Testing Maturity

This session delves into the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 within the software development community, with considerations for mobile accessibility. Helen will discuss the challenges companies face in incorporating accessibility into their DevOps cycles. Helen will share insights on viewing accessibility guidelines as a growth opportunity that can lead to improved products and happier customers. The session will cover what accessibility means, how it can impact you and the tools needed to test for accessibility on mobile devices. This talk aims to empower attendees to drive positive change, deliver inclusive products, and stay ahead of compliance shifts.

Accessibility and Mobile Testing Tools

In CI/CD pipelines, automated testing services validate the functionality of apps across hundreds of real-world mobile devices and OS versions. However, automated testing services can also leverage methods and tools that violate cybersecurity policies or that cybersecurity professionals find problematic and dangerous, including emulators, virtualization, resigning, debugging, dual spaces, Magisk, and more. Once protections are added to a mobile app, security features detect these methods and tools, and the resulting cyber defense may prevent testers from using parts of these testing services. Join Karen to learn how you can eliminate the need to test protected and unprotected builds separately, reduce complexity when testing protected mobile apps in automated environments, and automate testing of mobile apps that are protected from the same tools/methods used by testing services.
