Practical Approach to Mobile application Testing

Testers perspective on IOS and Android

About the Book

Who this Book is for?

  • When discussing with many of our testers found that they need a holistic view on what is Mobile applications and how to approach Mobile application testing.

  • There are plenty of materials available in the web but all are scattered and does not provide a holistic view of the Mobile application testing and how to approach from testers perspective.

  • Also when we look at the Mobile App testing ecosystem they are quite different from a typical web / windows application ecosystem. Testers need a introduction to these eco-system to understand clearly how to approach the Mobile app testing.

  • When i understood these problems though of solving them using a book that should be handy to testers who are trying to move from typical Web / Windows application testing to Mobile world. with this goal this book is born :) not just to introduce them theoretically but also provide a practical approach to testing Mobile apps.
