Information about mobile application testing

Mobile applications are getting complex as more and more applications that are new arise on mobile phones day by day. The increasing mobile applications are in demand on new phones. Developing and customizing new features with stability and robustness in a short span of time is very essential in the mobile application-testing field.

Shorten the setup time: Reduce the required time to install software, configure the phone and understand the underlying connectivity. Examples are given below.

> Software needs to be installed from websites frequently. While sending long web address use text message. Entering a URL can take few minutes and one wrong step mean restart the process again.

> Normally handset manufacturer provides internet setting on phone rather than manual settings.

> Connectivity between the Internet and carrier’s wireless network.

Usually providers preconfigured network settings on phones. Yet, it will be better to learn APN,WAP gateway settings and log in details for the service provided by the carrier, whenever setting configuration needed.

Understanding Data Plan: Carriers may offer a range of various applications. Choose the best one.

Transcoders Problem: Transcoders help us to access more internets on mobile devices. Browser based web contents are visible and therefore relatively easy to discover. On the other hand, custom-based applications are very difficult and amazingly, it reports error with out giving any reason.

Simplify Problems: Client software and web servers are very useful for debugging and discovering transcoder issues. Both are designed to report about send and receive informations.

Use Complimentary Tools
In cellular application testing, try to take easier path. Use web browsers for web based mobile sites. Firefox is a good choice.

Shorten Number Combinations: As there are uncountable carriers and permutation of phones, pick a perfect subset of phones to test with.

Use recording tools: Make a habit to use recording testing during mobile testing. When you found any problem record that immediately.

> Use good quality digital camera.

> Some free software can help to take screenshots on certain types of phones.

Above all Practice Makes Perfect:
Testing mobile applications in fact takes time and practice, particularly for newbie, I hope you will find some of these tips useful. Feel comfortable when configuring and using a range of phones, and you'll be an expert soon as a tester of mobile wireless testing applications.
