Collect console logs for iOS devices

Mostly I work in a windows environment and it is necessary to get console logs for iOS devices to find out the root cause of the issue.

But we need an entire app log to understand what goes wrong in the application. And after some research, I found iTools which allow you to manage iOS devices and also show entire device logs.

MIND MAP - A ULTIMATE THINKING TOOL FOR SOFTWARE TESTING

I am the only tester in my team testing all Android, iOS and web projects. Traditional way to prepare test documentations like test strategy, Test Plan and test cases takes more time. It's not possible for me to keep track all the features I have tested and need to test when I am having a multiple project's release on the same day . Still doing conventional approach of testing, i.e. maintain and execute test cases and mark them as "Pass/Fail". Getting limited time for testing because of maintaining all these test documents. In some releases I have missed lots of scenarios/functionalities to test due to less time for testing and this makes me unhappy after every release. After a long search I came to know the blog about "Mobile Testing Mind Map" in adventuresinqa.com. A mind map technique helped me to design rapid, clear, higher coverage and more efficient test cases using mind map technique. Then, I started using this technique for all the projects. ...
