The Benefits of Multithreaded QA Automation

Jan 27

Posted by 20percent in uncategorized | No Comments

Just noted that writing an automated test that is multi-threaded is a good and very cost effective way of picking up race condition type bugs in an application – especially when there is dependancies between 2 system states.

Of course this will be picked up when doing performance testing, but the earlier a bug is found the better (and cheaper) right?

Distributing apps between other iPhone developers

Jan 21

Posted by 20percent in uncategorized | 2 Comments

It has been around for a while, but I found a pretty easy to explain tutorial on how you can give an iPhone app to another registered iPhone developer (without giving them the source) AND not using an adhoc distribution profile (which personally I think is a huge brainf$@k and very limiting).

To sum it up all it involves is resigning the binary with your own certificate. Hopefully this will not work on apps on the AppStore (not that it matters anyway as most of the apps get cracked within minutes/seconds anyway).

Anyway the link is here. Enjoy!
