Features and Challenges of CCSGlobalTech’s Mobile Application Testing

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Gurgaon, Haryana, India, Republic of (Free-Press-Release.com) January 5, 2012 -- The mobile testing process is not suited to a one-size-fits-all approach. There are different goals that require different types and levels of testing at different stages in the process. These needs dictate whether to test manually or to automate testing. Automated testing may not be right in every mobile testing scenario, but in most cases it can save significant amounts of time and money and improve the effectiveness of QA testing process.

It is a challenge for us to test Android, iOS, Blackberry, Windows, etc. all from the same platform. Smartphone and Tablet app testing is often very repetitive and time consuming. We noticed that an advanced support for HTML5 web-based app development including object level scripting can let you to run one script across all device platforms.

Using a multi-tiered scripting technology helps to create keyword driven and requirements driven test scripts. It offers to create high level device-agnostic test scripts that can be used across multiple devices – making test script maintenance and porting easy.

Our tester’s plug-and-play local devices into their desktop computers for manual and automated testing. During the testing, they have a control over the hardware functions of the mobile device like power detection, backlight detection, power on/off, battery connect/disconnect, SIM card etc. A visual, WYSIWYG drag and drop interface is present to test the application.
Our testers run ad hoc or schedule test cases for specific days or hours. They are able to integrate UAT, functional, regression tests and perform an end to end integration testing. The test cycles are created to run multiple test cases across multiple devices. A dashboard is present to enable users to view devices in real-time as test cases are executed.
It is noticed that our automation of mobile application testing reduces the mobile testing man hours by 75% and increases the execution rate of the test cases by 3 times.

CCS considered multiple options for the functional testing of a globally available mobile solution including using – Simulators, Real Handsets, Cloud based testing etc. but was determined to proceed with a cloud based solution. The cloud based solution offered the best balance of costs, with ease of maintenance and accessibility of the test bed from anywhere across the globe. This also enabled tester to easily access real mobile handsets and tablets connected to live mobile networks across global cell networks. It allowed for a streamlined development, testing and effective monitoring of the testing processes.

By conducting effective project management, accurate cost estimates and employing a hybrid off shoring model, CCS minimized costs in the project resulting in substantial savings for the client. The entire solution was implemented in about five months, by effectively using a hybrid offshore development model.
