The document discusses the benefits and challenges of mobile application testing, highlighting the importance of high-quality mobile apps for businesses. It introduces the Mobile Test Automation Accelerator (MTAA) as a solution to streamline testing processes, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. A case study demonstrates MTAA's effectiveness in enhancing a client's mobile platform, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and faster time-to-market.

1. Overview
Mobility offer tremendous opportunities to businesses to deliver
more personalized end user experiences to enterprise and
individual users. Mobilized access to information allows enterprises
to offer information access to decision makers on the go, to reach
out to their customers faster, and to explore engagement
opportunities previously untapped.
While mobility presents new use cases and precincts, it also puts
forward new challenges ahead of companies to deliver unmatched
experiences faster and more accurately than their competition. As
such, for companies, ensuring that mobile applications that their
users interact with are of high quality remains a top priority.
With growing device diversity, and multiple operating systems
versions across Android, iOS and Windows mobile that are out in
the market, mobile application testing can be challenging, as well as
time, labor and cost intensive.
MTAA enables companies to reduce mobile application test efforts
significantly, enhance mobile app development efficiency, speed up
test case development, improve mobile app quality and shorted app
upgrade lifecycles. The bottom line is that companies achieve
higher cost savings, speed to market and highly reliable mobile
applications.
Built to provide a phased approach to mobile app testing, MTAA
brings clarity, agility and validity to the mobile app STLC.
To help its clients overcome the challenges associated with
mobile application testing, and to turn them into new business
opportunities and additional revenue streams, Astegic has
developed a mobile test automation acceleration framework.
MTAA (Mobile Test Automation Accelerator) speeds up test
automation by streamlining QA efforts and simplifying the
mobile automation process.
MTAA is a hybrid mobile application test automation
acceleration framework that best utilizes a combination of open
source technologies and reusable scripts and components to
speed up mobile test automation and minimizes code develop-
ing efforts.
Capable of being combined with open source mobile app test
automation frameworks, MTAA enables faster and more efficient
execution of cross-platform test automation for mobile
applications.

Benefits
MTAA delivers significant client-benefits that include some of the
following key outcomes among many others:
Client Case Study
One of our clients, DubLabs was developing a unified mobility
platform to help educational institutions to better engage with
academic staffs by allows students to access their assignments,
schedules, and activities on mobile devices. The unified
experience, which is built on native apps, enables students to
access their course information and provides them with better
college experiences through their devices. DubLabs needed to
test its unified platform on iOS and Android native apps on every
device; as well as test its integration functionality with the
schools’ learning management and student information
systems.
Deploying MTAA, Astegic was able to rapidly select and deploy
Appium, an open source mobile app test automation tool, saving
42% in QA time from implementing automation.
DubLabs also realized a 30% improvement in time-to-market,
and a 60% increase in customer satisfaction due to improved
application quality.
