How is mobile application testing different?
Device platforms, fragmentation, and growth
• iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone,
Symbian, etc.
• Multiple form factors and screen resolutions
• Device refresh every 24 months
• In 2011, over 300 new devices released
New capabilities to test
• Camera, GPS, direction, orientation, voice, etc.
More network considerations
• Multiple carriers, variable throughput and latency,
disconnected use, network switching, etc.
User experience is more critical

Importance of testing on real devices
Mobile device characteristics that impact the quality of your application or website, but
are not easily verifiable using an emulated phone or browser, include:
Different screen Unreadable text, blurred images, misalignment
resolution / screen of screen elements, and items that fall off the
size screen.
Android On-screen and physical controls that function
Customizations differently across devices
Customized handling of inputs and events
(e.g. Samsung Swype vs. default Android
keyboard).
Memory / CPU Low or insufficient memory or processing power.
Impacts of other services running on the device.
