How we Build Rock-solid Apps and Keep 100M+ Users Happy at Shazam

A presentation at QCon London 2015 in in London, UK by Savvas Dalkitsis

Shazam is a very popular audio recognition app. It is installed on 100M+ Android devices and it’s growing rapidly. In this talk, we would like to address how we have made our releases schedule faster, more predictable and with more features by using BDD and automation testing. We will demonstrate how that can be done without slowing down or hindering the development process and why our developers actually find writing tests is fun. Finally, we will look at how our testing strategy has translated to our testing framework and hardware infrastructure.
