Mobile application testing is a process by which a developed application of a mobile device is tested for its functionality, consistency and usability. Today in the world of mobile testing services numerous of development company work for the performance of their apps. Mobile application development totally depends on their testing services. Software, performance engineering and testing automation are ensuring that your application is highest degree of software quality assurance. Software validation testing: The software testing for mobile applications functional, non functional testing and documentation review are important part. Under the functional area unit testing that are typically written by the software developers to ensures that code meets it deign and behaves as intended. Code walkthrough is another important step in functional area that is a formal technique where source code is traced by a group with a small test cases, while the state program variables is manually monitored to analyze the program logic and assumptions. Functional phase ensures the mobile application is working as per requirements most of the test conducted for this is driven by the user interface and call follow. Integration error occurs after unit test phase and before system testing phase it is the simplest test form of two units that already tested are combined and interface between them is tested. The last one of functional testing is regression that seeks to uncover new software bugs. The second one phase under the Software validation testing is non functional testing stands for compatibility phase, user acceptance testing, usability testing phase includes method of measuring usability such as need analysis and study of the principles behind an object perceived efficiency or elegance. The third and last testing under the software validation testing is documentation review under this testing BRD review, Architect review and design documents review are performed. Performance Testing In the world of iPhone testing and android application performance phase is the second phase during the software validation in this phase two elements are performed by the software company’s pre roll out performance elevation and performance consulting. Under the pre roll out performance load testing, stress, performance, spike , endurance, database, code profiling and end to end transaction testing are important and under the performance consulting architecture validation and capacity planning is the important part for performance testing. Test automation: This is the third and last phase to ensure your apps is comprehensive and highest degree of software quality assurance. Automation performs these type of testing effectively once test have been automated they can run quickly and repeatedly. Under the automation phase team establishing automation framework, scripting, test execution and regression testing and script maintenance performed.

Mobile application testing is a quite different thing
which involves so many things like,
•Wide varieties of mobile devices
•Different mobile operating system
•Different mobile network operators
•Input method
•Hardware compatibility……. And so on.

4. What are the types of mobile application testing ?
Mobile application testing is one of the most
important phase of application development.
When an iPhone or Android application launched
it is very important that it must be tested and
verified.
Testing involves each and every thing about the
app like spellings to its functionality. So testing

6. What is functional testing ?
Testing an application against the business
requirement is called the functional testing. In
simple words testing all the specifications
given by the client is functional testing.

7. What is performance testing ?
Performance testing is defined as a testing
of an application to determine how
a system performs in terms of
responsiveness and stability under a
particular workload.

8. What is security testing ?
Security testing is defined as the testing an
application to determine that an information
system protects is data or not.
Some basic concepts in security testing :
•Confidentiality
•Authorization
•Integrity
•Availability
•Authentication
•Non-repudiation

9. What is Load testing ?
Load testing is performed to determine the
behavior of an application under the normal
load and the anticipated peak load
conditions.

10. What is Usability testing ?
Usability testing is a process in which an application is
tested in the users centered environment. Usability
testing focuses on measuring a human-made product's
capacity to meet its intended purpose.
