The document discusses mobile app testing and provides models and tools for testing smartphone apps. It notes that smartphones have changed how people live and how testing must be done, as functional testing is no longer enough. It introduces the LONG FUN CUP and (DON'T) PANIC models for testing the user interface and non-UI layers, and emphasizes the importance of understanding mobile technology and having faith in people to do wonderful things with tools.

IT'S NOT THE TOOLS THAT YOU HAVE FAITH IN — TOOLS ARE JUST TOOLS. THEY WORK, OR THEY DON'T WORK. IT'S PEOPLE YOU HAVE FAITH IN OR NOT.” –STEVE JOBS

Editor's Notes
- Little guy asks should I trust that big fat boy? These guys changed the consumer software landscape. Welcome to the mobility era. MY focus is more on consumer app testing… enterprise as usual are yet to catch with the technology advancement. The ritual.
- Before getting into agenda…this is the problem with Context Driven Community… Here to share the learnings of last three years mobile delivery lead and consultant When I started to do mobile testing, I realised the mobile apps are way too different from web apps. Lots of reading and googling, exploring helped me to became a better mobile app testers Then I found there are not much testers there to who can do a rapid mobile application testing. I am here to share the learnings of my journey as mobile app testing.
- Computers are meant to creating content. We had no other option other than computer to consume it So, users are trained to use computer So its ok for computer to do illegal operation
- Its no more click, its tapping. Gestures You are more attached to the software than ever
- Proximity Sensor: Recognizes whether the mobile phone is located near to the user or not by sending Infrared rays. Gesture Sensors: It will look for your gesture movements, mainly eyes or hand and act accordingly. RGB Light Sensor: Measure the red, green, blue and white intensity of the light source, used mainly to make adjustments in the Cameras. Gyro Sensor: Used to detect the mobile phone rotation state based on three axes Accelerometer: Detects the orientation of phone according to three axes. This sensor is widely used in all portable gadgets. Geomagnetic Sensor: Used in Maps to detect directions by detecting magnetic field intensity. Temperature/Humidity Sensor: Checks temperature and humidity levels. Barometer: Identifies the atmospheric pressure at the user’s current location. Hall Sensor: Recognizes whether the cover is open or closed. Motion Sensor: Which detects the motion of Phone, especially for gaming and unlocking phones Ambient Light Sensor: To check the intensity of light in the atmosphere and adjust display brightness accordingly. Gravity Sensor: It’s usually an accelerometer which contains a weight or tube inside. So moving of this weight tells the phone whether it moves right or left, top or bottom, up or down. It works mainly during gaming.
- It’s a personal device Use it on toilet, lying down in the couch On the drive, walking in the foot path Driving So… users are very impatient
- eBooks example Notes taking Karen Johnson session Mobile apps are small, so you have to do all testing
- If I put my learning in the past three to fours years, or even my 10 years in testing, I would put most of them into these three buckets
- Its sin to test mobile app sitting in office cubicle Its sin to test with out changing the orientation
- Science Part iExplorer Android Device Monitor App Bot Developer Options DDMS Smartbear Deploy and run apps on devices automatically Mock GPS locations Read various sensor data Check battery status Simulate outgoing calls and send SMS Get device & Android OS info Capture desktop screenshots
- The Room : Observation skill, mobile gestures, the unlimited power of mobile app Exploring app : Understand how they are build ,
