Android Testing, Testing Guide

El autor de este libro referido al Android Testing es: Diego Torres Milano
Diego Torres Milano has been involved with the Android platform since its inception, when he started exploring and researching the platform’s possibilities, mainly in the areas of User Interfaces, Unit and Acceptance Tests, and Test Driven Development. This is reflected from a number of articles published mainly on his personal blog (dtmilano.blogspot.com) and his participation as a lecturer in various conferences and courses such as Mobile Dev Camp 2008 in Amsterdam (Netherlands), and Japan Linux Symposium 2009 (Tokyo), Droidcon 2009 (London), Skillsmatter 2009 (London). He has also authored Android training courses delivered to various companies in Europe. Diego is the founder and developer of several Open Source projects, mainly CULT Universal Linux Thin Project, Autoglade, Gnome-tla, JGlade, and has been contributing to various Linux distributions such as RedHat, Fedora, and Ubuntu. Apart from giving presentations in Linux World, LinuxTag, GUADEC ES, University of Buenos Aires, etc, Diego has been developing software, participating in Open Source projects and advising companies worldwide for more than 15 years.
