My take on mobile test automation

Mobility is the new keyword to success in today’s market scenario and this concept has completely transformed how businesses function. Gone are the days when you could only work sitting at your office desk. Now, thanks to mobility based solutions, you can even work when you are away on holiday! This has not only increased employee productivity a great deal because it does not limit workspaces but it has also improved efficiency a great deal because this freedom to work from anywhere does wonders for employee morale. Having said this, I barely need to say how much importance and impetus is given to developing mobile enterprise application solutions. One of the biggest challenges faced during the development process is the time consumed by the testing phase because testing is a repetitive and time consuming process. The best way to overcome this challenge in the development of mobility based applications is through mobile test automation. The process of automating testing is made easy because of the evolution of open source test automation tools.

I know from personal experience that to make the best of mobile test automation, it is wise to take on a technology service provider or testing service partner because things get easier all around when this process is outsourced and out of your immediate focus. That way you will not lose focus on your core business and at the same time this vital process also takes place with no compromise. There are many test automation tools available like Ex.Cucumber, Ranorex, Selenium, Win Runner, QTP, Test Complete, Test Partner and so on. When you are choosing to outsource to a testing service provider, always ensure that you choose an expert and specialist service provider which can work with equal competency whatever the automation tool that needs to be used. This will give you the advantage of undertaking cross-platform development projects without worries about testing complications. When it comes to the process of implementing automation for testing processes, current development trends like continuous integration, behavior driven testing and test driven development also play a very important and crucial role so these trends must be considered and given due weight during the implementation process.
