• iPhone/iOS:
– The testing matrix is a bit simpler as there is only one device manufacturer - The
challenge is still to make sure the iPhone applications work across iOS versions.
– This challenge, along with Apple's strict limitation on UDIDs, has made testing a
major hassle for developers
• Android:
– Is more complex in terms of its testing matrix - Each new app - and each new app
version – has to function as expected on multiple device models from various
manufacturers.
– Functionality on mobile devices with touch screens vs. physical keyboards.
– Performance on various Android OS versions.
Approach to QA – Challenges

Approach to QA
Test Planning and Strategy
• Test Plan and Strategy
– Devised custom mobile test strategy based upon the business
requirements.
– Based on the requirements of the mobile application, finalized the
best applicable approach out of Full Automation, Partial
Automation or manual testing to test the mobile application and
also develop a suitable framework for the automation testing
– Test strategy specifies the test approach and the best framework.
• Unit and Integration Testing; Functional and System Testing;
Compatibility Testing; Network Connectivity Testing;
Performance Testing; Security Testing; UI Specifications in Cross-
mobile OS; Acceptance Testing.

Usability testing should happen as soon as the basic stable for the
application is ready. This is also true in order to test whether the
application UI is user-friendly or not, or whether some part/functionality
of the application is easily discoverable or not. Also, usability studies
should be done for the different types of devices, such as touch screen
devices, since the user has different experience for the same application
on these devices.
Some Key Criteria
Device specific UI guidelines
Text entry
Finger sized targets
Well organized work flow
Consistency
Call handling
Response times

Performance testing is key criteria for the application success on the
market. It may happen that application testing is carried though wi-
fi network under which application might perform well, but it also
happens that application has the poor performance for the end-user who
are accessing site through the mobile carries. Application must be tested
with different devices + carries wise mix depending on the county and
region.
Some Key Criteria
Network
Battery
Volume
Rendering

• Compatibility Testing assures that a given application works as
intended with selected devices with different screen sizes, resolutions,
and internal hardware (memory size, processor speed, and
button/input differences).It defines the feasible compatibility
combinations of devices and interfaces for a specific testing
assignment, in concurrence with the customer’s requirement.
OS
Device
Screen resolution
• Synchronization testing: This testing focuses on data exchange and
synchronization among different mobile devices, PDAs, and PCs using
infrared frequency and USB ports.

Testing Process
 Ensure functionality of the site is stable – Test mobile applications on
the desktop browser
 Test on device emulator to get the browser/platform coverage
 Test on the device itself to find the device specific bugs
