All speakers are requested to be available for officehours during the conference. This will be a scheduled 30 minute block of time during which attendees can meet you at a designated space for open Q&A offstage.

There is only one speaker per session. Attendance is free for selected speakers. HasGeek will cover your travel to and accommodation in Bangalore from anywhere in the world for speakers delivering full sessions (30 minutes or longer). As our budget is limited, we will prefer speakers from locations closer home, but will do our best to cover for anyone exceptional. If you are able to raise support for your trip, we will count that as speaker travel sponsorship.

Commitment to open source

HasGeek believes in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like it to be available under a permissive open source license. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licenses (such as the various forms of the GPL), please consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognize that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support us in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a sponsored session.

Non Accepted Proposals

If your proposal is accepted for a session > 30 minutes long, we will cover your event ticket.

If your proposal is not accepted, you can buy a ticket at the same rate as was available on the day you proposed. We’ll send you a code.

Automated UI Testing using Xamarin Test Cloud & Calabash

Submitted Sep 17, 2013

This talk serves as an introduction to the automated UI-testing technology Calabash and to Xamarin Test Cloud, a service that provides cloud-based access to hundreds of mobile devices for automated testing purposes. You’ll learn about the benefits of automated UI testing on mobile apps, and see how easy it is to get started with UI testing using Calabash. Calabash is free, open-source and supports BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) via the Cucumber tool.
While Calabash is very useful on its own, its power is only fully realized when tests are run frequently on large sets of devices with different screen-sizes, resolutions and operating system versions. In a short live demo, you’ll see how you can tap into this full potential with Xamarin Test Cloud.

Outline

Xamarin Test Cloud enables you to automatically test your app across 100s of physical devices(both Android and iOS). It uses powerful, object-based UI testing, enabling you to write test scripts that do exactly what your users will do: tap, swipe, rotate, wait for ui elements to appear, etc. When building for multiple platforms, you can share your test logic across the platforms, increasing reuse and enable faster test authoring. In this talk, we will explore how to upload an app to Test Cloud, and try out Xamarin App Explorer, which systematically exercises screens and controls in your app before you ever write a single test. We will also look at Behavior Driven Development using Calabash and Cucumber.
