In a world where change is rapid and necessitates software to be developed and released in fast paces continually , it has become important that safety nets are put in place to ensure released applications meet the needs they are meant to serve.Coupled with that is the fact that mobile technologies are penetrating the markets in every sector of the economy, formally and informally. It is becoming more important to be able to release bits and pieces of software, get quick user feedback and iterate on the software so that the final product addresses actual user needs. But how do we achieve this in the mobile space? Thats where continuous delivery for Android development comes in. In this talk, I will present some of the issues and challenges faced during mobile development by teams and show how using continuous delivery can help alleviate the pain. Tsatsi Mahase is a Software Developer at Thoughtworks. He studied Computer Systems Engineering and is passionate about programming and has special interest in mobile applications and web services. When he's not programming or learning something new, he spends most of his time sharing his knowledge.
