The First Complete Guide to Mobile App Testing and Quality Assurance: Start-to-Finish Testing Solutions for Both Android and iOS

 

Today, mobile apps must meet rigorous standards of reliability, usability, security, and performance. However, many mobile developers have limited testing experience, and mobile platforms raise new challenges even for long-time testers. Now, Hands-On Mobile App Testing provides the solution: an end-to-end blueprint for thoroughly testing any iOS or Android mobile app.

 

Reflecting his extensive real-life experience, Daniel Knott offers practical guidance on everything from mobile test planning to automation. He provides expert insights on mobile-centric issues, such as testing sensor inputs, battery usage, and hybrid apps, as well as advice on coping with device and platform fragmentation, and more.

 

If you want top-quality apps as much as your users do, this guide will help you deliver them. You’ll find it invaluable–whether you’re part of a large development team or you are the team.

Developing a mobile Web app, a native Android app, and a native iOS app. This was the company舗s first mobile project and a completely new testing environment for the quality assurance department. Together with a colleague, I had the chance to build a mobile testing strategy from scratch. We evaluated several test automation tools to see which one fit best in our software development lifecycle. At that time, mobile testing tools were few and far between, and at a very early development stage. We.
