Track: Mobile Testing
The mobile industry is relatively immature in terms of techniques, development practices and tools. The nature of the industry is in constant flux with new devices, browser and operating system versions being released constantly. Mobile testers have to keep device, browser and OS combinations in mind with multiple IDEs and testing tools to come up with risk assessment and test approaches. Should they be testing on an emulator Vs physical device, which physical devices should be targeted, which browsers and rendering engines need to be within scope are some of the ideas this session will explore. Testing tool options for both native and mobile web applications will also be provided. Evaluating tools and building training programs are some of the items which will be covered. The general skill level of mobile application testers is slightly higher. For instance, available testing tools expect access to application source code; understanding of ecosystems (Eclipse /Android SDK, Xcode/iOS SDK etc) is required; and knowledge of browsers and different rendering engines with their effect on how pages are rendered is essential. This session will provide a framework to manage all these dimensions of mobile testing.
