Above mentioned two terms are extremely popular in the world of mobile application testing. When we consider real testing device then it actually means that application will be tested through mobile phone of user. This will give real time experience. If we put systematic approach an planned testing then real time quality analysis is extremely important.
What is Emulator based testing?
Emulator is software program that imitates features of other software program.
What are differences between emulator and Simulator based software testing?
Emulator as well as Simulator both are virtual devices. They imitate all functionalities that are with any device or application. This makes testing process quite easy and convenient.
Noteworthy points about Simulator:
- Simulator’s objective is to simulate internal objectives of mobile application.
- To test external behaviors of any mobile application, simulator is required. Some test cases can be only performed with the help of simulator.
- High level of programming language is used for Simulator.
- For the process of debugging, Simulator is not the first choice.
- Simulator can be considered as partial re-implementation of original software.
Now turn comes for emulator:
- Here copied items will be outer objects.
- Through emulator, internal behavior of the software application being analyzed.
- Here low level programming like machine language is used.
- It is not like simulator that has problem in debugging.
- Emulator copies entire software program.
