Android Testing MindMap

Yay to more MindMaps! This one is on Android Testing, a great little cheat sheet to help you consider what testing should be covered on an Android website or app testing project. This one was contributed by Daniel Box, he is a HUAWGE Android geek since the release of the G1 back in 2008 (and claims [...]

iOS Testing MindMap / Checklist

This MindMap on iOS Testing comes thanks to Nick and Bernard - thanks guys! Take this as an overview of iOS testing. There really is so much more detail to go into and this is something that we struggled a bit with – an initial attempt at creating an iOS MindMap just made it balloon into [...]

MindMap – Tests You Can Perform With Tools and Add Ons

I keep spotting great MindMaps out in the wild. This one is by Santosh Tuppad on addons and types of tests you can use. Software testing is so tricky as there is never the same or right answer for each situation or project. By collecting and referencing these resources and mindmaps we hope that you can [...]

The Future of Testing – MindMap

I posted a humourous MindMap on The Future of Testing last week. The idea of it being empty was because of all the talk about testing being dead. I personally don’t believe testing is dead. It’s just changing, just like a ton of other career paths. So lets welcome and adapt to that change! It [...]

Test Planning – Mindmap

I remember in my early days of testing I was given the task of creating a test plan. I had little experience and the only guidance I got was being handed a word template to base the plan on. Basically, I was expected to fill in the blanks. I’m glad that’s behind me! The problem [...]
