INTRODUCTION Mobile Testing
Mobile application testing is a process by
which application software developed for hand
held mobile devices is tested for its
functionality, usability and consistency.

FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Functional testing performs on the functional
behavior of the application to ensures that the
application is working as per the requirements.
Mostly, testing performs on the user interface
and call flows of the application.
6
Performance Testing
The testing process is carried out by tester to
test the performance and actions of the
applications that pass through various mobile
device. challenges like low battery
power due to heavy battery uses, network out of
coverage area/poor bandwidth/changing internet
connection mode (2G, 3G, or WiFi)/changing
broadband connection, transferring heavy file,
less memory, concurrent approach to the
applications server by various users, etc.

 Memory Leakage Testing
Memory leakage happens when a computer program or
application is unable to manage the memory it is
allocated resulting in poor performance of the
application and the overall slowdown of the
system.
As mobile devices have significant constraints of
available memory, memory leakage testing is
crucial for the proper functioning of an
application.
8
Usability testing
Usability testing is used to test the mobile
applications in terms of usability, flexibility,
and friendliness. The testing process makes sure
that the mobile app is now easy to use and offers
a suitable user experience to the customers.

Interrupt Testing

• An application while functioning may face several
  interruptions like incoming calls or network
  coverage outage and recovery.
• The different types of interruptions are
• Incoming and Outgoing SMS and MMS
• Incoming and Outgoing calls
• Incoming Notifications
• Battery Removal
• Cable Insertion and Removal for data transfer
• Network outage and recovery
• Media Player on/off
• Device Power cycle

10
Installation testing
Installation testing is used to test the
particular application is installing,
uninstalling, and updating properly without any
interruption (user is smoothly and flexibly
installing the application).
11
Operational testing
Operational testing is used to test that the
particular back-up and recovery process is
working properly and responding as per the
requirement.
12
Security Testing
The purpose of security testing to test the
applications data and network security to check
the applications data and network security is
responding as per the given requirement/guideline.
13
CONCLUSION
All above testing methodologies prove that users
can trust on applications that come with mobile
devices, all applications are completely tested
with many testing methodologies. But, be careful
before using applications on mobile devices, if
mobile applications involve internet connection
then make sure that the device is already
carrying antivirus.
