Review on Estimating Testing process for Mobile Application

  Anureet Kaur

Mobile technology and smart devices have seen incredible growth in last decade. They are utilized by common man as a part of their everyday errands. As the users of the mobile devices are growing, development and testing of mobile application (i.e. software running on these devices) has emerged as one of the most recent difficulties for accomplishing quality applications. The reason is mobile application has various technical constraints such as Performance Factor, Power Factor, Band Factor, Connectivity Factor, Context Factor, Graphic Interface Factor, Input Interface Factor etc. Due to these constraints, the development of mobile applications needs a dedicated life cycle process model, instead of using traditional life cycle process models. There are many life cycle models adapted for mobile apps development. In this paper a comparative study of adapted traditional software life cycle models for mobile application development is made in light of some mobile characteristics. Also while development, testing plays a vital role to provide high quality apps. Various automated testing techniques used in mobile app testing are also discussed in this paper. Finally for effective testing of mobile application, test estimation; covering time, cost and effort involved in testing, needs a proper consideration. In this paper significance and techniques used for estimations of testing on mobile applications is also discussed.
