To begin with mobile testing, you must have prior software testing expertise and some understanding of automation technologies. In this pdf, you will learn how mobile testing is done.

1. How is mobile testing done?
The following are the key steps required to perform mobile testing:
1. The process should be outlined: Before deciding the use cases that need to be tested manually or
automatically by the developer, it is much better to outline the specific list of use cases that need to
be tested. A test plan for the mobile application needs to be created with all the use cases that need
to be tested.
2. The specific type of mobile test needs to be selected: The next step is to ascertain whether a test
will be manual or automated. The mobile testing team can make an informed decision for carrying
out the test manually or in automated mode.
3. The test cases need to be prepared for different functionalities: The test cases should be well-
defined to be written accordingly. Testing the performance of specific features of the app can be
done. The system is evaluated from a business perspective.

2. 4 Testing manually: Initial investments are not required and hence manual testing can be
implemented. Consistent logs of all the testing sessions can be maintained and organized in a Word
and Excel format.
5. Automated testing: Once a few manual testing sessions have been performed and the patterns of
outcomes have been detected, then the frequency to run a test can be easily determined. The
predictable and routine ones can be automated. The team should also select the right mobile testing
tool or tools.
6. Evaluate the performance: The application’s performance is tested from a features perspective
and also the performance of the entire system can also be assessed. Performance testing helps
evaluate the application’s stability, scalability and speed under high amounts of traffic.
7. Verify the security and compliance parameters: Mobile apps must meet certain data security
guidelines. There are various data security standards that need to be performed based on the app’s
features. PCI DSS, HIPAA and FFIEC are the specific security guidelines that can be used.
8. Releasing the application: An end-to-end testing sprint is being run by developers to ensure that
the application is working as expected at the back-end. It is finally uploaded to the server. If, after all
the testing scenarios, no bugs have been found, then finally, the developers will release the mobile
application into the market.
