Surprising Lessons Learned in 2018 About Mobile App Testing

The most important lessons about making a mobile app ready for launch has nothing to do with which testing tools were used, according to TESTCo, a leading provider of outsourced testing services for mobile apps. Read this for more information.

"People are surprised when I say that testing tools and automation aren't the driving factor in mobile app quality," said Jeff Hotz, CEO of TESTCo. "When we analyzed the results of tens of thousands of mobile app tests from 2018 for a variety of clients, the secrets to success were clear."

Although the tools used are important for testing efficiency, the success of the mobile app is driven by how well the QA firm and client understand and apply three QA concepts, according to TESTCo.

The Three Keys to Successful Mobile App Releases
1.    The quality of the initial user experience drives positive reviews. User reviews drive adoption. Therefore, testing plans must be designed to ensure a fabulous initial user experience.
2.    Choose your test devices and browsers carefully. Make certain adequate testing is being done within environments your target users have in their hands.
3.    Keep the app fresh with upgrades, but don't risk annoying customers with updating too frequently.

"If a company doesn't execute the three keys well, the best testers and tools in the world won't be enough to ensure a strong adoption rate," said Hotz.

To help companies get off on the right foot when testing their mobile app, TESTCo has prepared a Mobile App Check List, which can be downloaded from their website.

In 2018 there were over 205 billion mobile app downloads worldwide, according to Statista. Over 6,000 apps were released every day through the Google Play platform alone. The competition for downloads and frequent use is increasing daily. App developers are well advised, suggests Hotz, to place as much emphasis on mobile app testing as the company does development and marketing.

TESTCo, founded in 2002, provides outsourced testing and QA management services for software, mobile apps and websites. The company is headquartered in Austin, Texas.

Share your Cybersecurity Innovations with National CyberWatch Center

Innovators are encouraged to share their advancements and unique ideas in the National CyberWatch Center's third annual Innovations in Cybersecurity Education Awards and Recognition Program.

Educators who work in cybersecurity are able to share how their innovations help teach or expand cybersecurity, accelerate the adoption of new ideas throughout the academic community and receive recognition for their work. Select submissions will be included in the Cybersecurity Skills Journal: Practice and Research.

Last year, National CyberWatch received over 60 submissions. The five winners were Community Initiative Center of Excellence for Secure Software- Employer-led Secure Software Development Dual Model Apprenticeship Partnering with Community Colleges; Industrial Control Systems Security Curriculum Resource Kit; Have My Smart Lightbulbs Been Weaponized: Introducing Computer Security Issues Related to IoT Devices; Guiding Girl Scouts Through a Computer Science Journey; and Comic-Bee: Branching, Interactive Web Comics for Cybersecurity Education and Assessment for Learners of All Ages and Levels.

"This is the third year for our Innovations in Cybersecurity Education program. Building on the solid expansion of the program and strong participation by all National CyberWatch stakeholders, we are creating one, new significant bridge to two other successful National CyberWatch programs this year. We have made slight adjustments to the category titles and are now aligned to the thematic categories of both the Cybersecurity Skills: Practice and Research as well as the popular Community College Cyber Summit (3CS). This will allow Innovations submissions to flow seamlessly into the editorial calendar of the Journal, as well as the 3CS presentation tracks," said Casey W. O'Brien, executive director of National CyberWatch Center. "I encourage all our member institutions and supporting stakeholders to participate again this year and broaden the knowledge pool of innovations that can be shared across the National CyberWatch Center programs while continuing the march toward a stronger cybersecurity workforce."

Amazon first stop for apparel, with brand websites making a play for younger shoppers

The retail outlook for the year ahead is bright, with the National Retail Federation predicting growth of up to 4.4% for a total of more than $3.3 trillion in sales. For apparel brands, all eyes are on Amazon. With its two-day shipping, easy checkout and returns, and enormous catalog of brands -- the e-commerce giant has undeniably rewritten the playbook for retail. So how can apparel brands win their share of sales?

To better understand the evolving consumer behaviors that are driving growth for apparel sales, CPC Strategy, a retail-focused digital marketing agency acquired by Elite SEM in September 2018, surveyed 2,000 consumers about their shopping habits. The 2019 U.S. Forecast on Apparel Shopping Trends uncovered some surprising trends that should inform every retail brand's advertising strategy - including a breakdown of how different age groups shop, how shoppers will browse and buy across devices, and what features influence their purchase decisions. A full report on the study's methodology and findings, along with analysis of the results, can be found on the CPC Strategy website.

"Our study shows that 63% of Gen Z and 57% of Millennial shoppers are already purchasing apparel from Amazon, with Gen Z also showing a strong affinity for buying clothing directly from brand websites," said Nii Ahene, COO and cofounder of CPC Strategy. "Although Amazon may be the apparel website of choice for younger shoppers, most age groups are browsing and buying clothing across multiple shopping channels, which speaks to the need for brands and retailers to invest in a strategic multi-channel strategy to engage with apparel shoppers across multiple touchpoints."

Shopping channels do matter when it comes to apparel, especially when looking at different age groups. With a collective purchasing power of more than $200 billion as measured by Millennial Marketing and Nielsen, Generation Z and Millennials will drive e-commerce apparel growth, and cite features like free and fast shipping, low prices, and convenience as the most important features when buying apparel online.

Commissioned by CPC Strategy and conducted by Survata, the survey asked 2,000 online respondents ages 18-65 a series of questions, including how often they shop for clothes online, what items they've purchased in the past six months, which devices they prefer to use, and what category they're most likely to consider for off-brand/generic apparel.

Other key findings of the report:

What can brands learn from this research? To succeed in 2019, brands must build visibility across multiple channels. That could mean improving the functionality and features of an e-commerce website on desktop and mobile, investing in premium content if that brand is selling on Amazon, and implementing a paid media strategy to scale traffic to each.

VetStem Biopharma is Pleased to Share the Success Story of Ava who was Treated with VetStem Cell Therapy by Dr. David Luck

Ava, a 115-pound Newfoundland, found herself in a predicament when, at the age of three years old, she partially tore one of her cruciate ligaments. Just one year later, she suffered the same injury in the opposite knee. Ava, a mellow dog by nature, was able to recover without surgical intervention and resumed her normal activities without any noticeable pain. Then, another setback. Around age six, while running hard, she suddenly began limping and did not want to put weight on her left rear leg. According to her owner, Alyson, she struggled to get up and, once standing, hopped back and forth between her rear legs, trying to put her weight on her front legs instead. This was very painful for Alyson to watch and after there were no signs of improvement, Alyson took Ava to her veterinarian.

Ava's veterinarian discussed performing a TPLO, a surgical option to repair the torn cruciate ligament. He also mentioned stem cell therapy as a possibility, which could be performed by a now retired traveling surgeon, Dr. David Luck of Veterinary Surgical Relief Services. After researching the TPLO procedure, Alyson decided to pursue VetStem Regenerative Cell Therapy stating, "I have grown up with horses and had seen success stories of using stem cells to help ligament and tendon tears…and started researching VetStem. After all, a Newfoundland is really a mini pony."

Alyson met with Dr. Luck to discuss stem cell therapy for Ava. After an examination and X-rays, Dr. Luck determined that Ava had moderate osteoarthritis in both knees and that she was a good candidate for VetStem Cell Therapy. In May of 2014, Ava had fat collected from her abdomen in a minimally invasive surgical procedure. The fat was packaged in a temperature-controlled shipping container and shipped overnight to the VetStem laboratory in San Diego, California. Once received, VetStem lab technicians aseptically processed the fat to extract Ava's stem cells and create injectable doses of Ava's own stem and regenerative cells. These injections were shipped back to Dr. Luck who received and injected them within 48 hours of the initial fat collection. Ava received one injection into each knee and also intravenously. All remaining stem cells were stored in Ava's stem cell bank for potential future use.

Alyson noted that it took about four weeks to see significant improvement in Ava's lameness and mobility. At six weeks post stem cell therapy, Ava could get up from lying down and walk normally. She no longer did mini-skips or awkwardly adjusted her weight between her back legs. Alyson was also able to discontinue the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication that Ava was on. Nine months after treatment, Ava was examined, and her veterinarian noted that both knees felt very strong and stable compared to before the stem cell treatment.

Approximately two years after her stem cell therapy, Ava had another mishap while playing. She began limping again and avoided putting weight on her left rear leg. Alyson waited a few months to see if she would bounce back and after no improvement, decided to have Ava retreated with her banked stem cells. In February 2017, Dr. Luck once again treated Ava's knees as well as both elbows due to arthritis that had developed in the joints. Like before, it took about four weeks before Alyson noticed improvement in Ava's mobility. She was able to trot and play with her sister Newfoundland and go on her normal thirty-minute walk. Prior to stem cell therapy, Alyson stated that Ava could barely go on a five-minute walk.

Just over a year and a half after Ava's second stem cell treatment, Alyson contacted VetStem to say that Ava was still doing well. At nearly ten years old, Ava was still moving around well and had not had any anti-inflammatory medication since four weeks post her second treatment with stem cells. Alyson stated, "I can't recommend stem cell therapy enough…so many people who know her were able to see the difference in her level of comfort, which only validates her story in my eyes even more. Thank you VetStem, you truly saved my bear's life and I will always be thankful for that!"

VetStem recently reached out to Alyson to get an update on Ava. Unfortunately, Ava passed away in January 2019 due to complications from Cushing's disease. Alyson stated that stem cell therapy was the best decision she made for Ava as it allowed her to live a happy and comfortable life. She added that she would likely pursue stem cell therapy for her next dog because of how much she believes in the treatment. When asked if it was ok to publish Ava's story, Alyson responded, "I'd love to have her story up there because I really want other large breed dog owners to know the potential effectiveness and how much it helped my big girl and that just because they are large and age faster, there is something to help them." Read all the related news.

Stem cells are regenerative cells that can differentiate into many tissue types, reduce pain and inflammation, help to restore range of motion, and stimulate regeneration of tendon, ligament and joint tissues. In a peer-reviewed study of dogs with chronic osteoarthritis of the elbow joint, it was found that stem cells reduced lameness and pain. Be alert to the latest news.
