Mobile Application Testing

Mobile apps testing is vastly different from standard approaches to PC-based software apps testing due to the specific nature of the work, design features of mobile devices, and a broad variety of mobile platforms.

There are a big number of peculiarities to be taken into consideration when testing mobile apps.

Basically we single out the following key points:

• Memory-based application run, memory leak control;
• Power consumption rate, charge sensitivity;
• Power consumption rate, charge sensitivity;
• Support of different screen resolutions, portrait and landscape modes;
• Optimal Internet connection via Active Sync, USB, GPRS, Wi-Fi; operation efficiency under conditions of unstable connection;
• Application performance in the time of outgoing and incoming calls handling, sending and receiving text and multimedia messages;
• Standards compliance (Symbian Signed certification, Java Verified testing, etc.);
• Synchronization with a phonebook, calendar, PC-based software apps;
• Correct program installation/uninstallation to phone memory and memory card;
• Correct localization;
• Stable operation in stress situations, failure recovery.
