Less Painful Mobile Application Testing with Cucumber

05 April 2012

I was in the audience for Karl Krukow’s talk at the CukeUp 2012 conference yesterday. Karl’s startup, ‘Less Painful’, is a cloud-based mobile application testing service for iOS and Android; think Sauce Labs for mobile apps.

Calabash, the technology that allows programmers to drive their mobile apps from the outside using a CSS-selector style DSL, is open source and available on Github.

This is an interesting and tricky problem to solve, and I’m excited to see how far Less Painful can take it.
