There are numerous things that need to be checked before we start software testing of a mobile application. We will go here in detail:
- Research about operating system and device: any mobile application runs in congruence with operating system so how it cope up is quite important. When tester is going to write test cases then he needs to care about both app and operating system.
- Test bed: if we compare iOS and web based apps with Android then test bed preparation is little tricky because this is an open source system. In bed preparation, target audience should be checked properly because this should be discussed with developer as well as client.
- Planning of Test: test plan is considered as one of the most important documents when we proceed for the test. This document consists of functionality of application, test bed, test cases and all related aspects of software testing.
- Automation tool: if project is of very high scale then it wouldn’t be possible to check things manually. This is the reason automation testing is required. QTP is considered as the king in the field of automation tools. These automation tools run on the basis of various scripts mainly JavaScript.
- Methods used to carry testing: there are numerous conventional tests as well as some that are mainly done for the mobile applications namely field test, GPS test, image capture test etc.
These were some points to know before you start software testing for your mobile application.
