Step-By-Step Mobile Testing
Approaches And Strategies

Consumer habits are suddenly changing and evolving. Thanks in no small part to the growth of digital
technologies and smartphones. According to one of the recent report, Mobile phones penetration has surpassed
70% in the UK.
Organizations need to leverage this fast-growing trend and give a second to none experience to their consumers,
and that’s the primary reason why more organizations are investing in developing mobile applications.
The Main Types And Sub-Types Of Mobile Testing Can Be Categorized As Follows:
• Locale Data Generation
• Locale Validation
• Language
• Competitive Analysis
• Acceptability
• Non - Functional
• Offline Accessibility
• Functional
• Security Auditing, Scanning and Penetration
• Data Retention and Cache Review

Effective Mobile Automation Testing Strategy
Mobile Automation Framework
A test automation framework is a collection of coding guidelines,
methods, rules, reports and much more. These approaches give a
foundation for mobile automated testing services. Its purpose is to allow
a user to develop, implement and report the automation test scripts
efficiently and accurately.
Code reusability, maximum coverage, recovery scenario, low-cost
maintenance, negligible manual intervention, and easy reporting are some
benefits of this framework.
Record and Playback
Whether it is Appium inspector or Selenium IDE tool, record and playback
add a lot of value. Most of the automation tools record and play the
application behaviour and create the test scripts in various languages as
expected. At an advanced stage, the recording also helps to identify flaws
in the design. The generated scripts can also be shared among several
team members distributed across multiple locations. This changes the
build quality and assures quick test-driven development.

Object Identification: The automation tool which gives a Record and Playback facility can make an Object Repository
automatically during recording. The complete automation suite can make use of these repositories as and when needed.
Some identification techniques, the tool must provide are namely, Id, ClassName, XPath, and Name.
Mobility Testing Process
Identified Types of Testing – It was a necessary condition that the application has to work in all iOS and Android phones as
the end customers can have diverse devices. To make sure that the app worked on all the devices we selected combination of
manual testing, automation testing and testing in cloud simulator – Device Anywhere.

Performed Manual and Automated Testing –
The development method developed for this project was SCRUM and
each sprint was 2 weeks long. Every two weeks development team
delivered a rationally developed product to the QA team and QA
would run their test cases on the build.
Provided 24 hours of QA Support –
We understand a SCRUM development model (QA team is an integral
part of the development team throughout the project).
Beta Testing –
After this initial setup, once the particular build was removed from
the QA bucket, user acceptance testing was carried for this QA/ST
build. This was accomplished by asking the beta users (a set of
hundred students from the University) to browse every single page
within the mobile app.

Generated Test Summary Report –
Finally QA manager generated the test summary report. This is an administration report which provides details of any
significant data uncovered by the tests conducted, involves assessments of the mobile automated testing services, the
quality of the software system under test and statistics derived from incident reports.

Most mobile app development organizations are
known to offer seamless integration of mobile
application testing services and corporate apps.
While testing, flaws that are detected can look to be
small and not so important, but on further digging,
bigger inconsistencies may be exposed. For detecting
vulnerabilities and faults in mobile apps, answering
the following questions can help.
• What are another company integrations with the
app?
• How does the app redirection occur? What are the
data transmitted in this redirection?
• Is the data safe?
• How will app going to perform when used for a
long time under fixed load. How is it supposed to
perform under such circumstances? If its
performance is not that good, then what are the
reasons?

Owing to the steep rise in the use of smartphones, tablets and other mobile application testing the mobile
applications have established vital in escalating receivers.
The problem:
During the development process, testers can simply fall into the trap of concentrating too much on new code or
new tests, at the time of testing for regressions.
This is a simple process for issues to develop and go unnoticed – particularly performance problems. Regression
tests are important to show you bottlenecks so you can uncover the flaws in your code.
