Mobile Application Testing

Expand your platform coverage to mobile


Everyone's "going mobile". As platforms become more robust and device capabilities increase, applications have grown in size and complexity. Market timing is critical so minimizing the development cycle plays a major role in success. Developers face many challenges due to the increased complexity of testing across different handsets, operating systems, carriers, languages and locations. Mobile application developers need to improve the quality and reliability while decreasing both the development and testing cost and bring products to market faster than ever before.

Challenges:

Thorough testing of mobile apps, especially ones that run on multiple platforms, can be substantially more effort than the initial development and your resources are already strapped. Typical issues you may face "going mobile" include:


  • Porting your application to mobile, but don't have the bandwidth, resources, or expertise to port or do a thorough testing job in-house.
  • You've contracted your mobile development project, and want an independent testing organization to test your software to make sure you get what you pay for.
  • Verifying details and specifications using testing standards from different carriers on different mobile platforms and devices needs expertise and experience that you don’t have in-house.
  • A reference version ready for a platform doesn't automatically work on all devices on the same platform, even on the devices of the same brand and same screen size. Compatibility issues such as hardware speed, firmware API support, device memory size, keyboard layout etc. are potential risks to your launch schedule.

Despite the obvious risks related to releasing a defect-laden mobile application, some go for the less complicated, less costly alternative; test some, combined with hope and pray. There are other options.
