Mobile Application Testing
In the Mobile-Internet era as more and more people use smart phones and tablets to connect to the internet for work, networking, gaming, shopping and other everyday activities, testing software applications across mobile platforms becomes indispensible. At Kualitatem we ensure that your application is thoroughly tested for user experience, functionality, adaptability, hardware requirements and communication. Our wide array of experience across testing mobile applications for retail, gaming, healthcare, tourism and other major industries helps us reduce the total effort and cost of testing; considerably.
The K-Star Mobile Testing Methodology
End User Perspective
From an end users perspective all mobile applications are tested for interface, application navigation, intuitiveness, consistency, readability and graphics. In functional terms applications are tested for controls, storage media handling options and other critical operational dimensions. It is further put through load testing to see whether it can sustain the required number of users with acceptable response times.
Hardware Perspective
Many mobile solutions involve a significant hardware element in addition to the PDA, such as scanners, mobile telephony, GPS and position based devices, telemetry, etc... These extra hardware elements place additional demands on the tester, particularly in terms of isolating a bug to hardware or software.
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). All compatibility combinations of devices and interfaces for a specific testing assignment are defined in concurrence with the client's requirements.
Operating System Perspective
There are multiple operating systems that are prevalent in the mobile space like Symbian, Android, iPhone OS, Windows, Linux & Blackberry OS. These operating systems further multiply through versioning. At Kualitatem we ensure that a mobile application is performing as expected across different operating systems and their associated versions.
Application Adaptability
Application adaptability to context changes has emerged as absolute necessary criteria in the design and testing of successful mobile systems. In this context, we investigate issues related to screen resolution, physical movement and environmental effects.
Communication Channels
Future systems and applications will be complex, consisting of a multitude of services and network types from Wide Area Networks to Home Based Networks. Within this we test the application for network, Wi-Fi and other networking and communication specifications.
The Mobile Application Testing Process
Kualitatem Mobile Application Testing Process is based on five to seven stages (depending upon project test requirements). Within each phase all perspectives defined in the K-STAR methodology are kept in focus.
