Testing mobile application is painful. First, you need to find a way to run the mobile application, in a local or remote device, most of the time emulated. Then, you have to integrate Appium with your existing testing scripts, solving librairies conflits to get an helloworld running. Once your tests…

Open-source contributions have perception barriers. We easily get to the stereotype of only contributing through code with a group of experts in their domain. But the reality is different. A majority of open-source projects have a simple codebase and require much lighter contributions; test automation is not an exception. Multiple…

Scalability is forgotten, until it is too late. The definition of scalability is the capacity to be changed in size or scale, and to support an increasing number of capabilities. …

Automation is a challenge with a functional background. The tools are often complex, technical and require coding, limiting more than one to switch. This is a problem when we need to accelerate software delivery cycles. Simon Le Guennec, QA Consultant at Davidson Consulting, shares his experience with Cerberus Testing as…
