Introduction

• Growth of Mobile Platforms

• Growth of Vendors

• Types of Mobile Apps

• Biggest challenge:o ‘How to Test?’

Testing Pre-Installed Mobile Apps

• Core data activities • Functionality & Usability• Automatic upgrades • Cannot be Un-installed • Testing on ‘Prototype device’

Testing Installable Mobile Apps

• Downloading & Upgrading• Download through Wired /

Wireless Mediao AppStore, Online-URL, Transfer

via USB, BlueTooth, InfraRed• Installation and Un-Installation• Platform Specific

Testing Browser Based Mobile Apps

• Supported Mobile Browserso Opera, Skyfire, Teashark, bolt,

Blazer

• Accessibility and security• Availability scenarios• Real Location

Testing Performance/Functionality

• Various Network Strengths

• Various Network Speeds

• Various Network Types 2G, 3G & Wi-Fi

Testing Performance/Functionality

• Availability of Free Memory

• Memory Usage Patterno Launched, Run, Exit, Run for long timeo Memory Consumption Pattern (RAM)

• Multi-applications run while AUT is Run

Testing Performance/Functionality

• Continually Upgrading Devices & Apps

• Backward Compatibility

• MSP and Vendor Impact

• Battery Consumption Patterno Various Battery Strengths

Testing Compatibility/Functionality

• Various Input Modes

• Different screen sizes and Resolutions

• Various Interruptions while AUT iso Launched, Run, Exit, Installed, Upgraded

Traditional Apps Testing- Simulators

• Advantageso Finding issues in early stage, o Non-availability of device

• Disadvantageso Resemblance of the deviceo Test environment & i/o related issueso Actual end user scenarios o Network, location related scenarios

Mobile Apps Testing - Challenges

• Testing is not straight forward• Simulators are not Reliable• Real Test Bed

o Real Devices Availability, Devices w/ limited resources, Versions

o Real Network Operators, Infrastructure, Location

Requirement of Ideal Testing Platform

• Easy access & Full control to many phones• Enable all types of Testing • Integrate with existing MDLC/MDF • Generate Reports Easily• Enhance Collaboration among distributed

teams

Emerging Trends

• Advanced Testing Process• Automation Testing

o Mobinium, Robotium, QTP w/ M-Eux

• Out-Sourcing to Real Test Bedo Beta Testing, Crowd-Sourced Testing

• Remote Real Devices• Cloud based Testing Approach

General Cloud based Services

• Featureso Pay as you use o Any service any timeo Use of Virtualizationo Resources Availabilityo Scale-up and Scale-down o Adopt changing conditions

General Cloud based Services- Types

• Cloud Serviceso SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, Taas

• Cloud Types o Private Cloud

Owned, Hosted, Dedicated o Public Cloud

Hosted, Shared

Why Cloud based Approach for Mobile?

• Real Test Bed• Dynamic mobile landscape• Comprehensive Testing • Efficient Testing • Compatibility• Service Quality across devices

Cloud based Testing for Mobile Apps

• Web based secure access • Control to Many Real/Actual

Devices• Testing in Live Networks• Different Geo-locations

globally

Cloud based Testing for Mobile Apps

• Control on Testing process

• Agile Enterprises can control the Cloud to keep the Apps and services up-to-date with Newest Handsets

• Huge Revenue opportunities w/ gain in the market value

Mobile Cloud Overview

• 100% Web based S-a-a-S Platform• Holding the handset• Install Application from PC to Device• Send numbers to the device using keyboard• Simulate handset events in single click• Capture screenshots and videos

M-Cloud Infra Elements

• Sync Engine• Web2.0 Portal• Device Management• Data Adapters• Push Notifications• Aggregation

M-Cloud Infra Elements

• Rapid Development• Conflict Resolution• Core Apps• Privacy and Access• Scalability

M-Cloud Connectivity

Specific Types of M-Cloud

• Private M-Cloud o Owned, Dedicated, Hosted

• Public M-Cloudo Hosted, Shared

• Single Platform Cloud• Full Mobile Cloud

o Devices from All platforms

M-Cloud -Public Shared Devices

• Book time slot for Specific Devices• Specify Mobile Networks, Geo-locations• Keep Updated the Test Plan• Complete testing activity within time• Security and Performance testing is crucial

M-Cloud -Private Dedicated Devices

• Secured Devices• Change/upgrade of devices within cloud• Pool of Devices is part of Test strategy• Network should be part of test strategy• Choose betn hosted and on-premise devices

Services by M-Cloud Owner

• Lab with Versions of devices

• Setup Frameworks• Mobile Cloud Switch• Connection Utilities • Generate the Reports

Features of M-Cloud

• Highest level of Reliability• Device with Active Mobile plans

o Call, SMS, install apps, browse facility• Availability of Latest & upcoming Devices • 24x7 applications and performance monitoring• Reserve Devices whenever you need

M-Cloud Future Scope

Best Practices - Test Planning

o Setup the Test Bed Identify the Resources on M-Cloud

o Identify Test Cases for M-Cloudo Identify Test Data Regulations in advanceo Simulate the End User Experienceo Consider the Response Timeso Follow International Requirementso Identify Risk based scenarios

Best Practices – Test Execution

• Select proper/specific M-Cloudo Location, platform, Device dependent

• Connect to Device on M-Cloud and • Port the Apps on the Device• Identify applicable Testing types• Test across Multiple devices• Testing skills for Test engineers• Execute specific Tests related to

o Performance, Security, Accessibility, Availability

M-Cloud Implementation Challenges

• Firewall Exceptions & Remote configurations• Application Tuning• Storage and Bandwidth cost• Cross Cloud Alignment bottlenecks• Failover Testing for disaster recovery• Elasticity and scalability- False positives• Security and performance issues

Xoriant Services For Mobile Apps• Multiplatform Mobile Apps Development

• Testing Framework for various platforms w/ M-Cloud services

• Trained M-Cloud Mobile Apps Test Experts

• Continuous Testing Improvement in M-Cloud Services
