3. What tests should be run?
 Like web testing we should do?

Function Performance Security Usability

4. What tests should be run?
 But let’s think about : “ What’s happen when …?”
 … battery runs low?
 … battery is charging from a dead battery?
 … device memory is full?
 … I receive a notification while using the phone or another
application?
 … can our application run right when we update mobile OS?
 … can our application run well with network connection :
wifi,3G/4G?

7. Compatibility in Mobile App Testing
 Purpose :
 Verify that the application works normally under the external
factors
 Verify that the application does not interfere with the basic
functions of mobile
 Check and study, the response of the application when updating
the Version of OS or OS-specific.

8. Compatibility in Mobile App Testing
 Purpose :
 Verify whether the application is normally manipulated in the
background.
 In addition, we see how the app corresponds under the setting of
(smartphone or tablet) devices

9. External factors
 Network : Wifi, 3G/4G
 VPN : On/Off
 Manual mode : On/Off
 Bluetooth : On/Off
 Airplane mode
 GPS : On/Off
 Portrait Orientation : On/Off
 Notification : text, sound
 Carrier
 Location

 SMS notification
 SMS resuming
 Mail notification 13

14. Test points for Interrupt Testing
 Lock/unlock
 Memory leak
 Call others App ( Facebook, Twitter…)
 Network connection loss
 Alarm, Reminder

15. Test points for Compatibility Testing
 Install/Uninstall
 Local device memory
 Memory Card
 Close Application
 Version up
 Change hardware
 Change OS version
 Keyboard type
 Display direction 15

16. Test points for Compatibility Testing
 Display (small, large, normal)
 Carrier
 Push Notification/Local notification
 Call App from Multi-task bar
 Move to background
 Delete from background

17. Test points for Compatibility Testing
 Hard key
 Home
 Camera
 Back
 Volume
 On/off
 Application logo
 Splash
 Data backup
17

18. Test points for Compatibility Testing
 Device – PC synchronize
 Device input entry
 Virtual keyboard
 Hard keyboard
