Apple had probably set the ball rolling, and we
have not looked back since. From the iPhone to
the BlackBerry, mobile phones have come a long
way from the cumbersome handheld devices they
used to be only half a decade ago! And with the
advent of the mobile phones, another equally
interesting and popular phenomenon has risen -
mobile applications. From games to weather
forecasts, from RSS feeds to online social
networking - mobile phones have become a
minuscule version of our world itself.
4
And this is where mobile application testing
comes into the picture. In contrast to earlier
practices of allowing bugs and issues to be
reported by consumers themselves, agencies have
resorted to offering flawless applications -
courtesy mobile application testing.
5
Here are some of the prominent features of a
testing procedure prevalent in the industry

• Development of a strategy or framework for
  testing
• Harnessing of test scripts and frameworks
• Execution
• Reporting of bugs and issues pertaining to the
  test
• Cross-platform operability and performance
  testing
• Certification testing plans
• Final analysis and report

6
While the above steps seem like a cakewalk, think
again! It takes qualified engineers and equally
deft software application builders to provide a
flawless program and an even smoother testing
operation. The whole procedure also requires a
test field run - which handpicks a number of
potential customers and is tested on.

The feedback is used to further refine the mobile
applications, which by now should have reached a
level of quality and finesse that can be called
flawless. If not, the application requires a
re-structuring rather than a rerun of the testing
procedure!

The complexities involved in testing and
verification of Mobile Application requires a
dedicated team which understands the nuances of
various mobile devices, their manufacturers and
the networks on which they operate.
10
At Endeavour Software Technologies this has been
accomplished by having a dedicated testing lab
viz Endeavour Quality Assurance Lab (EqUAL). They
use ACtP3 framework comprising of 5 phases to
test mobile applications for achieving the
desired result of a robust, scalable, secure, and
responsive mobile solution on multiple mobile
device platforms. These steps include
11
Analysis This comprises of identifying the
limitations features of different platforms and
devices in order to provide a strong base before
starting the testing exercise Crash-free
Testing This helps to provide the stability of
the application before starting formal testing
Planned testing This is the formal testing to
ensure the maximum test coverage which includes
testing related to Application Start Up, UI
Specifications in cross mobile OS, Connectivity,
Interaction, Localization, I/O Capabilities,
Memory limitations, Auto updates, Stress Testing
and so on Peer testing This involves
challenging peer testers to find out any new
issue if they can Production testing To
ensure the application is running as expected in
real time
