I found out today that I had been selected as the uTest Top Android Tester for 2011. I think I skipped a heartbeat when I first heard about it and I could not believe my ears. I am certain that there are much better testers in the uTest community - I have had the privilege to work with them. Their bug reports inspired me to be a better tester and to keep honing my craft in the mobile space. Thanks to everyone at uTest, my mentors at the Miagi-Do School of Software Testing, and my family. I am beyond happy!
I have been testing on the Kindle Fire since December 2011 and have picked up a few good tricks. These include collecting error logs, taking snapshots, debugging with DDMS and installing applications that are currently not available in the Amazon Appstore such as Dropbox. I am sure there is lots of information scattered around the web and posted on various forums but I want to share my tips and the following blog links in one location for your use. I will try to add new ones to this post as I learn them. Feel free to leave comments with your tips.
