Abstract

The adoption of smart phones and the usages of mobile applications are increasing rapidly. Consequently, within limited time-range, mobile Internet usages have managed to take over the desktop usages particularly since the first smart phone-touched application released by iPhone in 2007. This paper is proposed to provide solution and answer the most demandable questions related to mobile application automated and manual testing limitations. Moreover, Mobile application testing requires agility and physically testing. Agile testing is to detect bugs through automated tools, whereas the compatibility testing is more to ensure that the apps operates on mobile OS (Operation Systems) as well as on the different real devices. Moreover, we have managed to answer automated or manual questions through two mobile application case studies MES (Mobile Exam System) and MLM (Mobile Lab Mate) by creating test scripts for both case studies and our experiment results have been discussed and evaluated on whether to adopt test on real devices or on emulators? In addition to this, we have introduced new mobile application testing matrix for the testers and some enterprises to obtain knowledge from

移动应用测试矩阵和挑战

智能手机的采用和移动应用程序的使用正在迅速增加。因此，在有限的时间范围内，移动互联网的使用已经成功地取代了桌面互联网的使用，特别是自2007年iPhone发布第一款智能手机触摸应用程序以来。本文旨在解决和回答与移动应用程序自动化和人工测试限制相关的最需要解决的问题。此外，移动应用程序测试需要敏捷性和物理测试。敏捷测试是通过自动化的工具来检测bug，而兼容性测试更多的是为了确保应用程序在移动操作系统(OS)以及不同的真实设备上运行。此外，我们通过为两个案例研究创建测试脚本，通过两个移动应用案例研究MES(移动考试系统)和MLM(移动实验室伴侣)，成功地回答了自动或手动的问题，我们的实验结果已经讨论和评估了是否采用在真实设备或模拟器上进行测试?除此之外，我们还引入了新的移动应用测试矩阵，供测试人员和一些企业获取知识
