Mobile App Test Strategy
- How many devices I should buy ?
- My DUT’s should have what OS Version ?
- Do I have to test in Emulator or Device or both ?
- Do I have to use Ambassadors or Social Media ?
- Do I have to crowd source my app testing ?
- How can I share my test app to users ? (test flight / appbundle / knappsack /
Hockeyapp)
- What to do with the comments I receive in app stores ?
- What to do with the crash reports from users on Dev dashboard ?
(http://postimg.org/image/yom95zfmp/)
- Do I have to use automation ? Upto what extend ? What tools to use ?
- Performance testing ? Benchmarking ?
- Security testing ? Encryption ?
- Do I have to perform Usability testing ? Is that expensive ?
- Do I have to use device Clouds ? How much It would cost me ?
- How many SIM Cards I should have for testing ?
- Will social media helps me in testing my mobile app ?

Power Consumption testing
Old Method
- Start the timer
- Charge the mobile 100%
- Perform different scenarios
- Note down the battery bars
- Once battery dead
- End the timer
New Method
- Start the timer
- Charge the mobile 100%
- Perform different scenarios
- Check the settings for battery % in each scenario
- Once battery dead, - End the timer
Fool Proof Method
Use Agilent 8960 or Anritsu 8475A to setup the data acquisition unit / dummy battery / power
supply setup !!

Ultimate Cheat Sheet for Mobile Testing
How to start learning mobile testing ?
Start by pointing your browser to android.com, download the SDK and Eclipse. Do
read the documentation (Its very comprehensive) – Create your first AVD (Android
Virtual device) and run your first mobile application in the emulator. You are all set.
How to test iPhone applications ?
You must have an iPhone. Or else, a MAC & XCode (IDE for making iPhone Apps).
Do I have to buy a tool for mobile testing automation ?
The Answer is No. you can manage with Open source tools. (I am not working for a
mobile test automation tool making company yet, so this is how I will answer)

Ultimate Cheat Sheet for Mobile Testing
How can I take my application logs when I am performing
android manual testing ?
Install eclipse (download it from android.com where you can
get the full SDK pack.) Keep USB debugging ON in your mobile, go to
DDMS view in your eclipse, you will be able to see the logs. You can also use an app
called alogcat (search it in play.google.com), It will also show all the logs.
How to run adb from anywhere in the command prompt?
From Android platform location, Add platform-tools path (where ADB is located) to
your environment variables – path. Now see the magic. (go to command prompt
and type adb)
How can I stress test my android mobile application ?
Use Android Monkey. In your command prompt say adb shell monkey –p package
name –v verbos (Example : adb shell monkey –p com.nimbuzz –v 50000)

Ultimate Cheat Sheet for Mobile Testing
I don’t have a MAC. How can I take logs for my iPhone App ?
Use iPhone Configuration Utility for Windows. (google It I say)
How to Sceen cast my Android application from my device to my PC ?
Use Androidscreencast.
Do I need developers support for testing iPhone applications ?
Yes, they need to add your UUID into their build system / certificate. Only then you
will be able to test the iPhone application coming from the developer.

Ultimate Cheat Sheet for Mobile Testing
What is the test setup for Windows Phones ?
In-order to Install the .xap (WP executable), you need Zune + XAP Installer. Also you
need to have the developer account. Without Windows Developer account, you
will not be able to install the XAP.
How to test the BlackBerry .cod file.?
Forget it. BB is dead. Even Symbian in that context. Android, iOS, Windows Phone
is what we will work in the future. Jolla, Ubuntu Edge, Firefox OS’s will run android
apps.
Define mobile testing strategy?
You cover different networks, different OS, different screen sizes, different
processor speeds, different OEM vendors, different ways of approaching your
functionality.

Ultimate Cheat Sheet for Mobile Testing
Do I have to worry about NDK ?
No. Developers will take care of that.
Do I need to know Java to perform Mobile test automation ?
Knowing that is good. But Its not required. Calabash scripts can be written in
readable English. You read English right ?
Tell me about Telerik for iOS ?
Great record and playback tool. Free too. Worth trying for Web apps. But for native
apps, calabash is best !
