Mobile Test Automation

Using best practices, tools and artifacts that reduces the need of human involvement on repetitive testing tasks




Possibilities..

Cloud-model helps manage the cost of device acquisition Facilitates offshore model - Reduces cost High speed of automation testing - Saves time Enhanced productivity Maximizes test coverage

Test Automation of Mobile Apps enables faster time to market!




Generic Challenges

Diversity of device / platforms Hardware complexity Application complexity Carrier network issues

Best Practices – Testing Automation of Mobile Apps

Our Mantra

Test plan early, Test always, Test on the devices

Best Practices of Mobile Application Testing

• Environmental Testing

• Behavioral Testing

• Performance Testing

• Ideal Test Ecosystem




Environmental Testing

• Using devices for automation testing - not emulators

• Automatic network switching

• Auto application installation through OTA

• Manage notification services




Behavioral Testing

• Screen orientation - Test for frequent switches

• Automatic simulation of

• No network

• Hardware capabilities

• Location attributes

• System v/s user events

• Not just happy flows




Performance Testing

• Memory, CPU and Battery analytics

• Retrieving application responsiveness

• UI navigation performance

• Usage of performance analytics tools




Ideal Testing Ecosystem

• Defined test & result protocol

• Device management

• Test case management

• Result reporting




Market Scenario

Available approaches to enable automation White Box QA Image comparison based tools Object comparison based tools




Bridging the Gap

Record once, execute on multiple devices Leveraging web-based infrastructure for test suite

management Using push-based mechanism

Executing test cases on remote devices Running tests in multiple geographic via cloud

Complete test execution reports Shares performance numbers and screen shots
