My two year old daughter figured out how to unlock my iPhone by sliding her thumb across the slider. Interested to see how she'll find the iOS 7 interface. Toddler usability testing :)
My team started off with QUnit but switched to Mocha a while back for unit testing our JavaScript. The tests run in the browser or using Node.js (on the build server).
We've dabbled with BusterJS as an alternative when needing to run the tests in multiple browsers/devices.
Also used Selenium/Sahi on occasion for acceptance tests. We need to test on lots of mobile devices so this helped speed things up a little when using the Android WebDriver and Appium.
I still don't feel like we've found the holy grail of JavaScript/UI testing. A mixture seems to works best for us. Unit test what we can and using Selenium/Sahi when testing browser/device inconsistencies are important.
"the work needed to put the favicon live was complicated
by an old environment (which has since been updated) that caused issues and extended the time taken to carry out the work."
Sounds like their old CMS system made it difficult to actually add a favicon in the template. I very much doubt the quoted price is just for creating the icon.
This year I joined a cycling club and starting riding time trials. I'm now training hard to improve my times for next season.
Having something to aim for works for me. It doesn't have to be competitive either, setting yourself personal goals works too.
I'm no elite athlete/champion, but this makes complete sense to me now. The last couple of weekends I have been taking part in hill climb events. Knowing every inch of the course definitely helped me pace myself and achieve a far better time than I expected.
Like the interviewee in the article, I definitely didn't look pretty in the photos: http://flic.kr/p/8KQANq
Looks like a great tool, hopefully the ease of use will allow more people to test their own software and bring some awareness to the often forgotten vulnerabilities.
