Automated Testing & Continuous Deployment for Mobile Apps with Jenkins

Mobile app development moves fast. The cloud offers instant and scalable infrastructure to test and deploy. To build and deliver at a pace that meets real world expectations, you need to implement a continuous build, test and deploy approach.
At this meetup, Jenkins/Hudson creator, Kohsuke Kawaguchi will explain how to leverage Jenkins to set up a continuous delivery pipeline and how the cloud augments this process. SOASTA?s SVP Engineering, Tal Broda, will show how to implement a 100% hands-off test automation framework with full app coverage ? at no cost. You?ll see how to build and deploy your mobile apps in the cloud and let a Platform as a Service (PaaS) take care of scale, and how to ensure the highest app quality by testing thoroughly from back end services to front end performance.
What could be better than free beer & pizza, mobile app dev, and continuous cloud delivery shared with some hard-core, high-speed development vets? See you there!
