While this approach is perfectly sound, it does suffer one downside: your program will only be tested on the static input data defined in your tests, and there is no real guarantee that this data does cover all edge cases. This can be especially problematic for SDK developers, who, by definition, have a very hard time anticipating all the different situations in which their code will be used. To improve on this issue, another approach exists, and it is called property-based testing. The idea behind it is very simple: you write your tests by defining properties that must always be true for your program. For example, « an array reversed twice is always equal to itself ». The testing framework will then generate random input values and test wether the property holds or not. And, as you can imagine, this approach is extremely good at narrowing down on overlooked edge cases. In Swift, we are lucky enough to already have a full-fledged implementation called SwiftCheck, that enables property-based testing (https://github.com/typelift/SwiftCheck). The goal of this talk is thus to explain how property-based testing can be a powerful addition to a testing suite, and give actual and actionable examples of how it can be added to a project using SwiftCheck. I gave this talk at FrenchKit, here is a copy of the slides: https://github.com/vincent-pradeilles/slides/blob/master/frenchkit-2019-an-introduction-to-property-based-testing.pdf

Everyone that owns a smart phone can get one for free. And for a very reasonable price you can get one, two, three assistants for your house, office, wrist, car. That's awesome! At least, if you can get them to do what you actually want. And who takes care of that? Us, of course! The designers and developers of the so called skills and actions that enable assistants to be actually useful. Because connecting your client's IoT device or service to an assistant is a piece of cake, really. We've done it a few times now and would love to tell you how you can do that, too! First, we'll get a little context: what are voice experiences? Why are they relevant to me? What should I focus my attention on? Then, we'll dive into the design and development of a demo app and deploy it as an Alexa Skill or Google Assistant Action.

However, there are some concerns that are introduced when this method is used too often. For example, many members would request their code reviews to their lead engineers, which ends up having their lead engineers to shoulder more burden. Besides, it takes up a lot of effort to communicate with the reviewer, and code reviews are often returned with many corrections, which is sometimes time-consuming. The solution to this problem is pair programming. In this session, we would like to explain about pair programming, and share how we make use of it with TDD in our daily development.

More and more organisations, but also individuals, are using apps because of the interesting opportunities they create. These opportunities also bring new threats to both organisations that process personal data, but also to individuals whose personal data is processed. It is therefore very important to take both privacy & security into consideration at an early stage when a new app is being developed. This way, privacy & security can be used as enablers of the app and maybe even as unique selling point, instead of being blockers that come in at a late stage and therefore bring limitations to the app involved.

He will also explore how this actually changed the team's workflow when developing the UI, paving the way to the "perfect pull-request" and how Snapshot Testing can be so much more than a visual regression testing tool.

They become more complex and require more testing. It means that it is time to integrate automated tests to your project in an efficient way because they should be fast and stable. This talk will cover the following topics: - DSL (Domain Specific Language) in UI Testing - Efficient combination of different types of UI tests - Best practices for creating test suit for Android application - Popular mistakes in UI Testing

Growth, both personally and as a team/organisation, means more change. Change is also part and parcel of the environment in which you operate. So, the question ‘how do you lead a team’, should really be how to successfully lead a team in an environment of change. And how to lead so that your team and organisation can reach its full potential. My goal is that you will walk away at the end of the workshop with a:

New perspective on your leadership.
Concrete steps you can take in order to lead more successfully.

In this session we cover everything to start right now! There are many people with learning disabilities around the world. There are also people with autism, psychological disabilities… Many of them are also entering the era of mobile and internet. We talk about design guidelines that can reach them. We talk about apps, but do not focus on a specific technology in this talk. Which apps are needed? Which steps of design helps them to catch the frontiers of mobile and internet right now? Microsoft and other big tech companies are working more and more about inclusive design and digital inclusion for people with disabilities.

It involves you and others you work with. If the feeling good misses, this will cause lasting frustration. That diminishes performance/productivity, decreases motivation, and causes high levels of stress, depression and burnout. If the feeling good is present, it creates poise toward realizing intentions and goals, even if the outcome is different from what was expected. It also creates durable connections. This feels great. This positive state is brought about by training the brain in crucial areas that govern emotion and cognitive processes, and knowing how to communicate intentions, goals and criteria for success with another (communication/negotiation). My Mind Farm thus offers training in EQ-plus (effective communication). Capgemini recently described emotional intelligence as the ’must have skill” for a (work) future impacted by the rise of AI (see link). From this session you will learn:

How emotion determines your actions and how you feel about that
How feeling great actually reinforces performance and health
How this works in the brain in 5 primary domains that can be trained
How this translates to clear goal setting and efficiency in attaining them
How to work with EQ/negotiation training for businesses or personal development

This session is stand alone. The previous session is looking at things from a different angle. The different perspectives enhance understanding and integration. So joining both is really useful. This session is interactive. A laptop is not necessary. We need your mind! Read this and stand surprised: Demand for emotional intelligence skills soars six folds Optimize Work/life For It Professionals

It is currently operating in 11 countries and our apps are used by more than 9 million of customers worldwide. During the last years Parkmobile started the process to become a cloud native company using Amazon Web Services infrastructure. This new scenario opens to the Android team new possibilities like benefit from GraphQL API’s which could improve the user experience and performance of our apps. AWS Amplify SDK for Android is a development SDK to support Android app development. In the recent AWS re:Invent event, AWS announced new SDK Amplify capabilities, like Datastore feature, which enhance offline app features.In this talk, I will walk through the process of the integration of AWS Amplify in Android apps. I will describe the SDK primary features, together with the SDK ups and downs.

Join Daniel Steinberg for two jam packed, hands-on days which will introduce you to the most important aspects of adopting SwiftUI and Combine, and leave you confident using the features in your own apps. Apple’s new releases provide a simple and elegant way to build user interfaces in a declarative way across all their platforms using a single set of tools and APIs. Learn to replace familiar UIKit components with SwiftUI’s Text and Image, create a seamless, robust interface utilising the framework’s tools, create custom components and how to immediately apply Combine to experiment, and reinforce your functional skills. Learn how to: Replace familiar UIKit display components with SwiftUI’s Text, Image. Work with controls such as Buttons, Sliders, Pickers and TextFields. Work with containers such as VStack, HStack, ZStack and GeometryReader. Draw with shapes such as Circle, Rectangle and Path. Navigate with sheets, tabs and navigation controls. Focus on data flow using state, bindings, observed objects, and environment. Create custom components of your own and experiment with new Swift features such as property wrappers and function builders. Use Combine in UIKit apps so that you can see how to apply this new framework immediately and use Combine in SwiftUI apps to experiment with the future. Use existing Publishers and create your own. Use standard Subscribers and create your own. Use Operators to convert publishers of one type to the publishers your subscribers need. Reinforce your functional skills as you apply filter, zip, map and flatMap. Program Outline: The course will include material taken from the following. Understand the basics of a UIKit app that are being replaced by SwiftUI. Create a flexible and attractive User Interface using SwiftUI Understanding communication among components in this world without view controllers. Master new features in Swift including property wrappers and function builders Share data in your app using properties, State, Bindings, Environment, and Observable objects. Create multi-scene applications and polish your interface Patterns and current best practices for Swift UI. Using Combine in our current world of UIKit. Integrating Combine in SwiftUI. Using built in publishers including Notifications, URLSessions, and Core Data. Creating your own publishers. Using convenience subscribers such as sink and assign. Creating your own subscribers. Adapting publishers to subscribers using operators. Target Audience This course is designed for experienced programmers who are new to SwiftUI and Combine but who are experienced in Swift. This is for developers and teams who are preparing to target iOS 13 or Mac OS Catalina. Prerequisites We assume that you are an experienced programmer who is familiar with the Swift programming language. Even if you are new to Swift, you should be able to follow along. Hardware In order to take part in this course you will need to bring a Mac running the latest public version of Xcode 11. If you have an iOS device and would like to view the projects on your device instead of in the simulator, make sure you have all your credentials set up.

To understand how to really tap into the potential of your team it is important to know your team, to understand where it is strong and where you need to strengthen it. But where do you look and what does it actually mean to know your team. During this morning session you will scan your team and formulate steps you can take to become a stronger team. My goal is that you will walk away at the end of the workshop with a:

A fresh perspective on your team .
Concrete steps towards a creating a more successful team
This session is stand-alone, but if you also join the session: Leadership: How to lead successfully, you can build on this session and dive deeper into another aspect of leadership.

This session is interactive, be prepared to do the work. Tip! Additional literature: Patrick Lencioni (2012), The Advantage, Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else in Business.

Apple Search & Google App campaigns are two of the most popular channels to be used for user acquisition. They’re both pretty easy to set up and manage in basic modus. However, there are a lot of tricks and hacks to optimize results for both channels if you deep dive in the data and or use the API for automatization. In this talk, I’ll share the latest on how to improve ROI and conversion rates, both through bidding optimization as well as the best use of creatives. Learn how to: - Leverage the API connection for custom reporting, dashboards, and automatization - What to do with LAT users and cannibalization on organics - Creative assets that convert

As teams scale, new growing pains start around how to properly align colors and other design details between teams, in a uniform way. This talk will feature our very own story on how we solved this problem at Gett using existing tooling we had (Zeplin, CI Systems) as well as a custom automation solution we named Prism, allowing to generate design-specific code for different developer platforms, based on the design team's style guide and design system. In this talk you'll learn: - What are the pains of Design & Dev teams? - What are some existing solutions? How do they fall short? - What do you have to gain by solving this problem for your team? Does it have a high enough ROI? - Take routine tasks - Automate them. - Prism - a Swift-based CLI to generate complete color and text styles code sheets from existing Design Systems. - Explain the full flow of how this system works - from the design team building a new feature, to how they push this new code to the dev team. - The future evolution of this Design System solution. - How can you apply this technique to your own company?

This talk aims to solve this problem by providing a broad coverage of Android and iOS app vulnerabilities identified over multiple years of penetration testing. The purpose is to provide a comprehensive repertoire of security anti-patterns that penetration testers can look for and mobile app developers can watch out for to avoid. If you are the kind of person who enjoys talks with practical information that you can immediately apply when you go back to work, this talk is for you, this talk is all action, no fluff :) This talk is a comprehensive review of interesting security flaws that we have discovered over the years in many Android and iOS mobile apps: An entirely practical walkthrough that covers anonymized juicy findings from reports that we could not make public, interesting vulnerabilities in open source apps with strong security requirements such as password vaults and privacy browsers, security issues in government-mandated apps with considerable media coverage such as Smart Sheriff, apps that report human right abuse where a security flaw could get somebody killed in the real world, and more. The talk offers a thorough review of interesting security anti-patterns and how they could be abused, this is very valuable information for those intending to defend or find vulnerabilities in mobile apps. This talk is for those who are intending to broaden their knowledge of mobile security with actionable information derived from real-world penetration testing of mobile apps. Examples will include very interesting scenarios of copy-paste attacks, calling premium numbers from the phone, custom URLs, Deep Links, XSS, SQLi, RCE, MitM attacks, path traversals, and data leak examples from real-world mobile apps, Apart from that, many other issues, including interesting scenarios chaining several vulnerabilities, such as achieving RCE via SQLi, persistent XSS, data exfiltration, etc. are also addressed. Vulnerability chaining in mobile apps is covered not only for the fun of it but also to demonstrate impact: Mobile app findings are typically downplayed given their relative lower impact compared to server vulnerabilities (i.e. pwn 1 user vs. everybody). Obviously, almost no modern mobile app stands offline nowadays, so this presentation would be incomplete without covering some nice attacks against those mobile APIs everybody forgot to test. Please come caffeinated, the audience will be challenged to spot vulnerabilities at any moment and there may be giveaways to the winners :)
