In Today’s world more and more applications
are available on the mobile. The mobile applications are business critical
and many of them help the mobile user to perform financial transaction on the
Internet using mobile. In such
circumstances, it is imperative that the mobile application is stable and bug
free.
However, testing mobile application is very
challenging. One has to work with different
constraints. There is a large variety
of mobile devices on which the application has to be tested. Moreover, the operating system versions also
vary. The application also has to be
tested with different possible network carriers. Testing a mobile application on different
mobile phones with different operating system versions using multiple carriers
is a big challenge. This challenge is
circumvented to some extent by using device emulators. Use of device emulator helps in saving the
cost of procuring mobile device, but due to differences in computing resources
and network environment, we cannot rely too much on simulator testing. It is
recommended to perform a combination of actual device testing and simulator
testing.
Another option available is to use mobile
testing platform services like deviceanywhere.
This mobile platform provide on demand service for testing mobile
applications on pay per use model. This
helps in managing infrastructure cost for testing mobile applications. Moreover, the mobile devices can be accessed
anywhere in the world. You can get more
