29. Why Mobile App Testing
Mobile app testing ensures usability, scalability, quality,
performance and security of mobile apps which is the
key to let your apps soar high in the marketplace with
excellent ratings.
30. But, it is difficult to conduct mobile
app testing because…
31. There are frequent feature enhancements,
version, and OS upgrades requiring continuous
regression testing cycles
Maintenance
Test Upgrade
40. Then how to ensure great mobile
apps?
The answer lies in…
Test Automation
41. What is Test Automation?
Test automation is the key to ensuring quality
and performance of apps in rapid roll-outs and
agile market.
Automation testing promises to test
applications quickly and efficiently reducing
the overall time-to-market.
42. Reasons to prefer Automation
Testing for Mobile Apps over
Traditional Testing
43. Reduces effort, time and cost of regression
testing for mobile apps after every version
upgrade
49. What are the Key Points to be kept in mind
before implementing Test Automation for
Mobile Apps
50. Conduct Feasibility Study
Conduct feasibility study to identify whether automation
testing of the app is really feasible and whether it will really
provide the expected results and benefits.
51. Create Proof-of-Concepts
It is necessary to have proof-of-concepts ready before
actually implementing test automation for mobile apps.
52. Select Framework
Select a framework that gives the suitable methodology of
testing a specific mobile application which will also serve as
a foundation of the entire test automation project.
53. Select the right mix of Simulators & Emulators
Create combinations of simulators (software systems) and
emulators (physical devices) with different memories and
processors to understand different mechanisms and working of
the application. This will help maximize test coverage
54. Select the Test Automation Tool
Having a right test automation tool in place is also necessary to
attain the desired level of testing and reduce the cost of
regression testing. This will be beneficial for apps that require
repetitive testing due to frequent upgrades.
55. Consider Network Environment
It is also important to consider the primary network
environment to base the testing project. Besides, one must also
deploy tools to stimulate the different network connectivity and
response of the application under test.
56. Analyze Type of Testing
Tester must also analyze the different types of testing
(functional, performance, security, and compliance) to check
the different aspects of the given application.

58. A Case in Point
A telecommunication giant based in the USA implemented test
automation using MonkeyTalk to test its mobile VOIP application
developed for iPhone and Android devices.
The company achieved the desired regression cycles and increased
the test coverage which, ultimately saved 70% of human efforts,
time and cost.
59. Lasting Words
It is important to learn all these nuances of mobile testing to scale
up your application in the market. Keep in mind, a well-orchestrated
testing strategy for implementing automation testing
will enable you to achieve the desired testing purpose with
reduced efforts and accelerate your time-to-market.
