Mobile Acceptance Testing
Doesn’t scale (slow, fragile, complex)
Developer effort required to maintain
Doesn’t exercise all the business logic
Terrible defect localisation
Business doesn’t write or read them
Abandoned, revert to manual testing
Mobile Acceptance Testing
“This is mobile. It’s how its gotta be.”
- C. Wisdom

Detailed requirements are written
Entire team writes them together
Understandable by entire team
Statements are binary (true or false)
Does not describe UI
Executable and automated
Fully integrated standalone wiki and acceptance testing framework

Final Thoughts
UI based Acceptance Testing doesn’t scale
Acceptance testing is an essential part of Agile
Elaborating the requirements early saves time & effort
