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.

Steps To Hunt the Bugs Successfully

By
The testers should catch the bugs in software that they’re testing. Testers should try to catch as several vital bugs as soon as possible. Catching the crucial bug earlier on Product-Life-Cycle can save the Projects from financial losses & mitigate the risks as compared for catching the same at a later stage in SDLC. Steps to hunt the bugs: Sometimes it’s useful to break the rules: The following test cases, which were predefined a tester can miss the bugs so it makes it impossible’s to provide the product i.e. 100 percent bug free. If you-follow pre-determined test cases you risks becoming blind to outside the bugs. A first secret is to check the functionality under the test. It’ll be an effective channel to discover the more bugs, because functionality is not generally covered by the test cases. Examine the patterns: You might have noticed that the bugs can be often met in the groups, one can call them-gregarious. The testing a new but the similar functionality...

Cross browser testing Tools

By
Cross Browser testing It is a process to test the web apps across multiple browsers. It involves the checking compatibility of the app across multiple web browsers & ensures that your web app’s works correctly across different web browsers. Tools for Cross Browser Testing Browser shots: The browser shots might be most exhaustive cross browser-testing tool that exists. Browser Shots includes all of most popular-browsers, like Firefox, Chrome, & Safari, along with the tons of another browser’s that might sound unfamiliar, like Sea Monkey, Flock, & Iceape. You can adjust the resolution, color-settings, & even Flash and JavaScript settings. Cross Browser Testing: It allows users to test their websites with over the hundred resolution or browser and Operating System combinations. This also has support to mobile web-browsers, which is crucial because the web traffic is making shift from the primarily desktop computer users to primarily mobile ...

Mobile Application Testing: Strategy for Development

By
There are a huge number of demands and lots of competitions in the mobile application industries. In that demands and competitions, the mobile application testing has become more important. The testing phase of the mobile application testing looks like evil between the creative process and excitement of new products in the market. According to the survey, “In US, on an average 2-3 hours per day people spends their time on smartphones and tablets. On that time, they spent 80% on mobile application and remaining 20% on web applications.” Few list of key factors for successful mobile application testing strategies are: Selection of Device for Testing : Before introducing the mobile application test activities, first select the devices for testing the application. Selection decision is very important because only devices can help to targets maximum numbers of the customers for accessing the application. There are two parts for device selection: §   Device Model ...
