What is Mobile Application Testing?

Mobile Application Testing ensures that application software developed for handheld devices is tested for functionality, usability, and consistency. Mobile apps may come pre-installed or be downloaded from distribution platforms.

With the explosive growth of mobile devices, testing faces challenges due to:

• Variety of Mobile Devices: Different screen sizes, input methods (touch, QWERTY, etc.), and hardware capabilities.

• Diversity in Mobile Platforms/OS: Android, iOS, Symbian, Windows, Blackberry, etc. Each has limitations that make testing complex.

The IMTQN Certified Mobile Application Tester (CMAT) – Foundation Level Certification covers both device testing and application/software testing, ensuring candidates are job-ready for careers in mobile testing.

Mobile testing differs from mobile application testing:

• Mobile testing → tests the device itself (battery, protocol, network connectivity, compatibility).

• Mobile application testing → tests apps/software for meeting functional and non-functional requirements.
