According to the Business Investor, the Global
Test Automation Market is likely to expand at a
robust CAGR of 15.4 by 2025. Test Automation
with its software testing processes, frameworks,
and test suites have been adding tremendous value
to the software development lifecycle. Today,
almost all testing processes involve substantial
levels of automation, with an objective to bring
speed and ensure quality. The efficiency that
test automation brings to the table is very much
needed for Mobile Testing. Apart from
accelerating the testing cycle and reducing the
turnaround time, automated testing helps to cut
down the errors that could occur due to manual
testing. The market is flooded with various tools
for automation Open Source as well as Licensed.
Every tool comes with its unique features and
strengths to add value to the testing process.
However, it is very much critical that the team
understands the testing objectives before
leveraging these tools. Mobile Testing is a
business-critical area and teams are working
towards making it efficient by including
automation strategies. With a wide range of
automation tools there are definite chances of
misjudgement in selecting the right tools and
building a relevant automation strategy. Hence,

done. Hence, it is important that you do a
thorough research of the software product that
you are about to test. It will help you to
determine the tests that you have to conduct and
automate. You can further formulate the
requirements to the automated tests and decide on
the automation tools as well. In this way, your
efforts are not lost and you continue to derive
higher RoI and maximize test coverage. Get
consensus on your Automation tool After the
initial phase of research is done, its time to
decide on the automation tool that you must

testing tools and platforms should be compatible
for testing mobile applications across various
devices and configurations. It is recommended to
go for tools that

are compatible for Mobile Testing and are not
generic for both the web and mobile
applications. Applications have to be tested
across mobile operating systems such as Android,
Apple iOS, Blackberry OS, Windows Phone, Symbian,
or any other emerging OS. Hence, keeping your
mobile-specific needs into perspective is
mission-critical! Control over the Test
Environment If issues related to automation have
to be resolved, it is necessary for testers to
have complete control over the test environment.
When it comes to leveraging the test environment,
ensure that your test environment is well
maintained and the device under test is
well-managed, controlled, and secure for
conducting automation tests. There are some
critical factors that you must consider while
managing the environment Devices,
Configurations, Network Stability, Security
loopholes, to name of few. Mobile Test Automation
by leveraging the test environment can be
effective, only when various factors within the
environment are well-managed. Read Full Blog at
