Cross-Platform Testing - Mobile Test Summit SF

4 talks in one!

I talked briefly about Frank.

I talked a lot about how to use the Page Object pattern to enable re-usable, cross-platform tests.

Then I introduced PublicAutomation, a lightweight wrapper around Apple's private UIAutomation framework.

Finally I announced that lesspainful.com will be providing cloud hosting and support for Frank test suites.
