The document discusses mobile user expectations, mobile testing challenges, and strategies for mobile application testing. It provides the following key points: 1) Nearly 80% of mobile users delete apps after the first use due to bad design, slow loading times, or crashes upon installation. 2) Mobile testing faces challenges due to a variety of devices, platforms, and operating systems. Effective strategies include test automation, coverage of multiple devices and platforms, and continuous monitoring of usage data. 3) A mobile application testing strategy should utilize emulators, physical devices, cloud/mobile testing tools, and automation to reduce manual effort and provide comprehensive testing.

1. Mobile User Expectations
Mobile users have far higher expectations of mobile apps when compared
to other software like browser applications. The majority of reports and
surveys state that nearly 80% of users delete an app after using it for the
first time! The top four reasons for deletion are always bad
design and usability, loading time and crashes immediately after
installation.
▪Nearly 60% of users will delete an app that requires registration.
▪47% of consumers expect to load in 3 seconds or less.
▪50% of user will delete an app due to crashes.

5. Types of Mobile Testing

6. Mobile App Lifecycle
➢ Mobile applications once developed and
tested ready for deployment are directly
submitted to “Application Stores” of the OS
providers for their approval.
➢ Once approved the Mobile applications are
available for download from the respective
OS providers “Application Store”.
➢ End customers can directly download your
application from these “Application stores” on
their mobile devices to use the same.

13. Types of Testing

14. Agility Testing
Agility: Best practices on Agile including automation focus and effective intraday
QA practices form the core of the solution
Types of testing : Testing includes Acceptance testing at build level, Functional ,
Interruption (NFR) and Regression at Sprint level and also Release Regression
Continuous automation and Regression: Automation will be leveraged to
execute acceptance tests at build level and regression tests at sprint level and
across sprints
Devices/ Platforms coverage: Optimal set of devices have been considered
/assumed to ensure adequate coverage in the target platforms
Quality management: Best in class methods for leveraging Test management
processes and Tools best suited to agile needs.

16. Secure Mobile Lab Facility
• PCs , MAC machines & different mobile platforms connected to appropriate server for applications
• Necessary Wi-Fi router, SIM cards, with internet connection
• Necessary firewall and Ethernet switch for networking to specific WAN/Networks
• The networking could be an isolated network
nvironment
• Controlled wireless with limited range with security protected environment
• Have firewalls and switches within lab premises
• All internet access to be monitored with limited connectivity
• Antivirus and security software on devices for enhanced security
work Security
• Authorized entry with usage of swipe/similar means for usage of the LAB depending on need.
• Entry and exit recording in physical /electronic means to keep track
• Restrict usage of personal mobile phones, USB drives or other media
