Testing Mobile Apps: Three Dilemmas Solved

The fragmentation and unpredictability of the mobile market present new challenges and risks for the business-and the development team. Testers must assure application quality across multiple platforms and help deliver new products almost every day. Using his experiences implementing automated mobile testing for clients, Yoram Mizrachi analyzes three fundamental mobile testing dilemmas encountered when enterprises go mobile. First, learn how and when to use emulators and real mobile devices, when to rely on each, and how many devices you will need in each stage of development. Second, understand the differences between testing on local devices versus remote devices in the cloud and how the differences affect test coverage, scalability, logistics, risk, and security liability. Third, discover how to reduce the learning curve and time-to-market by extending your existing software application lifecycle management environment to mobile, preserving your organization's tools, processes, and knowledge.
