How can we improve performance and reduce sluggishness of our mobile apps? How can we plan for different mobile platforms and their continuous updates? Key challenges faced while testing in mobile How can we stay ahead in the market?
- 5. Your mobile testing approach should be “future-proof” and combine.. ..to become a single mobile testing strategy. Automation Less error-prone Cloud User interface testing & initial quality assurance Real devices Full-proof test
- 6. Monitoring Minimize automation risk Nagarro’s 5-step approach to a successful mobile testing strategy A future-proof mobile testing strategy revolves around automation, maximum coverage, and optimized cost. Device sampling Choose the right automation tool Select the right automation framework 1 3 4 5 2
- 7. This involves identifying a set of real devices, platforms, and simulators where the automation framework will run. The aim is to: • establish the right balance between simulators and real devices to optimize cost without impacting quality. • test basic application functionality and flow on simulators. • test touch response and user experience on real devices. Step 1: Device sampling
- 8. Step 2: Choose the right automation tool Choosing the right automation tool can set the course for future testing processes. The selection is broadly based on the following criteria: - Type of mobile platform - Script reusability - Pricing - Browser support capabilities - Ease-of-use Open source tools Commercial tools XCUI test
- 9. Step 3: Select the right automation framework The focus here is on the type of automation framework (data-driven, keyword-driven, hybrid) for the mobile application. The framework selection checklist must include: - The size of the application - Product and domain knowledge - Process-oriented and long-term solution - Automation tool preferences - Future enhancements and modifications in the application
- 10. Step 4: Minimize automation risk The risk of automation can be minimized by: • building a small PoC (Proof of Concept) of 2-3 weeks to automate critical business workflows. • identifying any major issues that might be encountered during future automation. • accurately estimating the volume of automation.
- 11. Monitoring the automation process is essential in order to identify the risks at the right time. This involves: - Automation scripting - Execution - Debugging and reporting stats and KPIs (such as coverage, detected defects, etc.) Step 5: Monitoring
