Want to know about Mobile Application Testing? Came to right place

What is Mobile Application Testing?

Mobile Application Testing is a phenomenon of testing functionality, usability and consistency of application software designed for mobiles. It is done in two ways: Automated and Manually.

When you buy a new mobile, various applications came pre-installed and some you install as per your need from mobile software distribution platforms such as Google Play, Nokia Store etc. In the recent years, mobile devices had shown a rapid growth rate. 

Factors that give an open challenge to Mobile application Testing:

1. Mobile devices models: Different models have different hardware configurations, input methods (some are QWERTY, some are touch while others are normal).

2. Several different operating systems (OS): Market  is full of availability of different operating  systems  ( Android, IOS, BREW, BREWMP, Symbian, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry (RIM)).Each operating system is unique in itself, thus providing a challenge to a tester  as he has to test various devices running on a same OS.

3. Operators providing Mobile Networks

Common use mobile networks are: GSM, CDMA
                                                                                                                                                                    Rarely used mobile networks are:  FOMA, TD-SCDMA

4. Scripting:  Different mobile devices differs in keystrokes, display therefore, a single script is not sufficient for every device.

5. Testing is done in two ways: manually and through software, thus it is a challenge for tester which method will be appropriate.

Kinds of Mobile Application Testing:

1. Functional Testing: The purpose of it is to ensure that the application is functioning properly.
2. Laboratory Testing: This is done by creating artificial conditions in order to know whether mobile or carrier networks work properly or it fails suddenly.
3. Performance Testing: as name indicates, the performance is checked under conditions such as low battery, low memory. Performance testing is done to check the effect from the side of both: application server side and client side.
4. Testing of memory leakage: When allocated memory is not managed by computer and its performance slows down, this is called memory leakage.

In Regression Testing: Difference between Automation And Manual Testing

The difference between an Automation Testing & Manual-Testing is a pillar of the Software testing, because the whole-testing is based on the Automation Testing and Manual Testing. In the project you can do both Automation Testing & Manual Testing & you can also do both Automation testing and Manual Testing simultaneously. Difference between Automation and Manual Testing Automation Testing Manual Testing The automation testing is a continuous component of the manual testing. This testing is an initiate of the testing, without of this testing we cannot start the automation testing. This takes less of time. This takes a lot of time. In the automation testing, we always test by the running the scripts. In the manual testing testers’re allowed to do the random for find the Bugs. In automation testing, it is done on the different on same time. The manual testing would be executes sequentially. ...

INTRODUCTION TO SELENIUM TESTING

If you are interesting in software testing and desperately want to work in software testing profile then this post is surely for you, as we know that selenium testing is an important aspect of  software testing so you should go through this at least once. WHAT IS SELENIUM TESTING? SELENIUM is a tool for authoring tests without learning test scripting language like selenium IDE. Selenium is not just a tool but actually it is a cluster of independent tools. And selenium testing is a testing which is performed by using selenium tool. WHY WE USE SELENIUM TESTING I f we talk about the functioning and scenario of today's IT industries or companies then it is known to everyone that there is a mass movement towards automation testing. Not only this but the cluster of manual testing scenario  has also raised a great demand to make to manual testing automated by using various tools such as selenium.  There are numerous benefits which a software tester gets if he/she impleme...
