Smart phones use is increasing day by day as there is large number of app users. Due to more use of apps, the testing of mobile application should be done correctly and flawlessly to ensure the effectiveness of mobile applications. Objectives. The objective of this research is to find out the important mobile application quality characteristics from developer’s perspective and how developers actually test for them. Apart from that how the developers test their mobile applications are also addressed. Methods. Two methodologies were used: the literature survey and the empirical survey. The literature survey was used to get familiar with the most commonly known mobile application quality characteristics for which mobile applications are tested for. The empirical survey was used to get data from developers by sending an online questionnaire link to the Google Play store developers and their response was recorded and further evaluated to present results. I categorized apps as top rated apps and low rated apps. Results. I got 43 responses as a whole from 1000 developers. I got 20 responses out of 500 from the top rated apps developers and 23 responses out of 500 from the low rated apps developers. The results were used to compare the quality characteristics importance to testing. According to the responses from both top rated and low rated apps developer, functional testing and usability testing is considered to be the most important and are mostly tested for “Android” mobile applications. Load testing and energy testing is considered to be not that important from developer’s point of view but energy testing and memory testing is not so often tested for “Android” mobile applications by developers. When it comes to testing process, top rated and low rated apps developer perform testing by creating test cases that are predefined in scripts or documents. They prefer to execute their tests on emulator rather than on mobile and run their tests automatically via tool or service as a cloud. Conclusion. My study reports the quality characteristics importance for which the mobile applications are tested for from developer’s perspective, actual testing done by developers and the testing process used by them. Functional testing and usability testing are considered to be most important and mostly tested quality characteristics according to developer’s perspective. Testing is done by running their tests on emulator automatically through some tool. They prefer to create their test cases that are predefined in scripts. Keywords: Mobile Application Testing, Quality Characteristics 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to extend my gratitude to my supervisor Simon Poulding for his vital support and feedback till end. This thesis would not have been possible without Simon Poulding guidance throughout the research. I really feel honored working with him. I would like to thank my mom, siblings and friends who helped me and supported me. Finally, I sincerely appreciate all the participants of the web questionnaire from all over the world because without their response my thesis would not be accomplished. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT

  • Esports High Impact and Investable
    Needham Insights: Thought Leader Series Laura A. Martin, CFA & CMT – [email protected] / (917) 373-3066 September 5, 2019 Dan Medina – [email protected] / (626) 893-2925 eSports High Impact and Investable For the past decade, eSports has been growing on the main stage in Asia and in stealth mode in the US. This report addresses questions we get most often from investors about eSports: ➢ What is eSports? Definitions differ. Our definition of eSports is “players competing at a video game in front of a live audience while being live-streamed.” By implication, viewing, attendance, and playing time are linked, and each creates revenue streams for eSports. ➢ How big is eSports? Globally, one out of every three (ie, 33%) 18-25 year olds spent more than an hour a day playing video games, 395mm people watched eSports, and 250mm people played Fortnite in 2018. eSports revenue will be $1.1B in 2019, up 26% y/y. ➢ Should investors care about eSports? We would argue “yes”, owing to: a) global scale; b) time spent playing and viewing; c) compelling demographics; d) eSports vs traditional sports trends; e) revenue growth; and, f) sports betting should supercharge US eSports. ➢ Is eSports a fad? We would argue “no”, owing to: a) many US Universities now offer Varsity eSports scholarships; b) new special purpose eSports stadiums are proliferating; c) billionaires are investing to make eSports successful; d) audience growth; and, e) Olympics potential. ➢ Why have you never heard of eSports? Because zero of the top 30 earning players in the world were from the US in 2018.

  • Hur Konstrueras Det Svenska Kändisskapet I Subgenren Realitysåpa?
    Hur konstrueras det svenska kändisskapet i subgenren realitysåpa? En kvantitativ innehållsanalys av subgenren realitysåpa Av: Maria Vallén Handledare: Peter Jakobsson Södertörns högskola | Institutionen för kultur och lärande Kandidatuppsats 15 hp Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap C | Höstterminen 2019 Medievetarprogrammet Abstract Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur det svenska kändisskapet blir konstruerat i subgenren realitysåpa samt att urskilja likheter och skillnader inom genren gällande hur celebritetsskapet skildras. Utifrån syftet ställdes två frågeställningar upp, hur konstrueras det svenska kändisskapet i subgenren realitysåpa samt vilka likheter och skillnader sett till programmens sätt att skildra celebritetskap uppmärksammas. Med avstamp i teorier och tidigare forskningar som berör forskningsområdena celebritetskultur och reality-tv utformades en kvantitativ innehållsanalys. Den kvantitativa innehållsanalysen utgick från ett tidsbestämt urval för tv-serier som sändes på kommersiella tv-kanaler hösten 2018. Materialet består av avsnitt från fyra svenska tv-serier som hör till subgenren realitysåpa om totalt 43 stycken avsnitt som omfattar cirka 26,5 timmar. De tv-serier som denna studie grundar sig på är Cirkus Bagge, Hyséns, Lailaland och Wahlgrens värld. Utifrån olika komponenter i tv- serierna har ett kodschema bildats som omfattar 56 olika variabler inom 12 kategorier; kanal, serie, avsnitt, miljö, personer, centrala teman, medieaktiviteter, konsumtion, celebritetsaktiviteter, vardagsaktiviteter, celebritetens

Melee: An Interdisciplinary Esports Ethnography Abbie 'spoopy' Rappaport This work presents a qualitative analysis of the esports community that plays and watches Super Smash Bros. Melee (SSBM) , a platform-based fighting game released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2001. SSBM is unusual as an esport for the way that it is built on a grass-roots foundation shaped by players (rather than the game's developers) and is contingent on the continued use of residual media objects, specifically the CRT television, Nintendo GameCube and Wii console coupled with the restraints of analog signal processing. SSBM players show particular dedication to dominant community practices like strict tournament rules and settings, shared use of dialect/nomenclatures, mode of play and so on, which are derived from, embedded in, and reinforced by specific hardware and software objects.
