Mobile applications are not miniature pc applications
Mobile Applications PC Applications
Usage Context
User may be in the middle of some other activity
(e.g. shopping in a supermarket)
Using the application is the primary activity
Interactions are short and may be interrupted Interactions are longer and more focused
Users are very impatient Users are impatient
Mode of
Interaction
Non-keyboard: touch prevalent, also speech Keyboard and mouse
Typing should be minimized Typing is okay
Screen size/real-estate is small Larger screen size for presenting information
Other
considerations
Integration with device capabilities (e.g. camera,
GPS, accelerometer)
Offline behavior

all phases of development
UI sketching and storyboarding
Test plan optimization and
management and integration
with mobile “Device-clouds”
Portfolio management
Integrate Worklight Studio with the
Rational IDEs to create a
comprehensive IDE for all parts of
the app (UI, mid tier, back-end)
Extend enterprise assets as
mobile-consumable services and
connect via Worklight adapters
Integrating with enterprise systems
Meeting accelerated time to market
requirements
Automate and manage
continuous, end-to-end build and
deployment process with RTC
Deploy to private dev/test app
Reduce cycle times by aligning
dev and operations teams

Perceived mobile app quality
User experience is critical for mobile
applications
Mobile applications are “Face of the business”
Engage customer personally and drive loyalty
Planning tests against all combinations of
devices & OS
Testing is complicated by new ways of
interacting
Maintaining large library of devices in-house is
cost prohibitive
Design Quality Functional Quality
Goal: deliver apps that align with business goals and are perceived as
high quality – both from a user experience and functional point of view

IBM MobileFirst
12
Lifecycle techniques to optimize UI experiences
Improve collaboration and communications between line-of-
business stakeholders and development team
Put more focus on the application design and conceptualization
phase
Use UI sketching, storyboarding, and business process
diagrams

Functional test automation for Mobile apps
• Rational Test Workbench solution now offers new functionalities to:
– Register functional test cases on mobile device
– Execute automated functional tests
– Report and review test results
• The solution is built on different components and concepts:
– Test Workbench An IDE (to be installed on the tester’s workstation) to prepare
mobile apps for testing and create and modify mobile tests
– Mobile client A component (to be installed on the mobile devices) that allows
recording and playback of test scenarios executed on the
device
– Test Editor Enables test creation and definition of test steps and verification
points
– Test Reports Allows visualization of test flow and report in test failures

Automated testing for Mobile App GUI
Supported Mobile Operating Systems
Android 2.2+
IOS 6+
Android & iOS hybrid apps
HTML5/CSS3
JQuery Mobile
4 steps-testing approach:
Recording: play your test first with the recording-
ready app and generate a test script
Authoring: edit and enhance the test script by adding
verification points and others instructions
Playback: run the test script on a real device, a
simulator or an emulator
Reporting: generate an HTML report
Worklight Integration
− Worklight Studio and RTW can shell-
shared for a smooth integration between
development and testing activities
− Better support for JQuery-based
applications
− Applications under test can be uploaded
from Worklight Application Center

Test Workbench An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to prepare mobile
applications for testing and create and modify mobile tests
Mobile Client Allows the recording and playback of test scenarios on the mobile device
Test Editor Enable test creation using English narrative and application images to
define test steps and verifications
Test Reports Visualize the test flow and report on test failures

Recording
RTW Mobile creates a recording-ready app from the original app to record:
All user interactions with the app
Some hardware actions (GPS, HW buttons...)
A client on the device allows to easily install/uninstall the require app depending of the
activities (record, playback)
No need to root/jailbreak the phone
A silent install mode on Android exists
Installation on iOS uses ITMS protocol
Supported platforms for recording
Real devices (Android 2.2+, iOS 6+)
iOS simulators (6+)
Android emulators (2.2+)

ClearScript Test Script
A simple instruction set understandable by a non-
developer
– In English and some other languages
– All instructions refer to UI Objects by a simple description of its
content and/or a localization with an other UI Object easier to
describe
A form-oriented editor allows to modify each instruction
very easily
The Test Script can be enhanced to support localized
strings of the application under test
– The same script can be executed on devices with different
locales without any modification
Verification Points can be added an any property of any
UI Objects
Many way to substitute data in the script
– From datapool
– References can be created in the script and reuse in
substitutions

21
The Test Editor
Select an instruction in the test script
Update the form editor
Update the mobile data view
Mobile Data View contains
A snapshot of the UI taken just before the
corresponding action
A tree view of all the UI Object
The properties list of the selected UI Object
Many shortcuts for creating Verification Points and
Variable from any object and property

22
Executing a Test Script
From the device
Select a test and run it on the device
No substitutions
From the workbench
Switch the device in passive mode
The workbench select automatically the right device
corresponding to the test script (Android/iOS, API level...)
From RQM
Similar to the run from Workbench
Possibility to have additional selection criteria

23
Integration with other tools
RTW other extensions
Usable with HTTP & SOA extensions
Usable with RIT (services virtualization)
RQM Integration
Execution of existing recorded test script in regression
Worklight Integration
Worklight Studio and RTW can shell-shared for a smooth integration between
development and testing activities
Better support for JQuery-based applications
Applications under test can be uploaded from Worklight Application Center

Extending Mobile Testing
with
Test Virtualization

The Modern Application
What is Test Virtualization and how can help?
Test Virtualization enables to create “virtual
services”:
Virtual Services simulate the behavior of an
entire application or system during testing
Virtual Services can run on commodity
hardware, private cloud, public cloud
Each developer, tester can easily have
their own test environment and continue to
use their testing tools

– Test services and applications long
before their user interfaces becomes
available
• Rational Test Virtualization Server
is a server solution that:
– Provides a central environment to
virtualize heterogeneous hardware,
software and services to provide 24x7

Candidate system
• Typical multi-tiered environment
• Problems with provisioning/access
• Problems with data consistency
• Virtualize selected services or entire
application
• Different virtualization models available
• Testers, regardless of test methodology,
are unaware of virtualisation
