3/51

It is the use of strategies, tools, andartifacts that reduce the need for human

involvement on repetitive testing tasks

Unit, UI, and Functional testing

Test Automation



4/51

Application specific test case writing

Conversion of test cases into scripts

(Code / Record)

Execution of test scripts on devices

Unattended test cycles

How Test Automation Works?



5/51

Programmable

Repeatable and reusable

Reliable and comprehensive

Increased productivity

Cost reduction Superior application quality

Benefits



6/51

Diversity of device / platforms

Hardware complexity

Application complexity

Carrier network issues

Compressed software Development schedules

Generic Challenges



7/51

Large number of test cases

API level test execution

Verification of UI control

Handset specific features

Technical Challenges



8/51

Reduced time to market

First impression is the last

Increasing cost of QA cycles

High cost of onsite testing in targetnetworks

Procurement of large number of devicesat multiple locations

Unit Testing Automation Frameworks

XUnit family of tools

JM Unit

B Unit

OC Unit

CI integrations




11/51

UI Testing Automation using ImageComparison / OCR based tools

Started with VnC based tools Basic Record and Playback support

Scripting with manual creation ofImage Object mapping repos

Hardware wired device docks

Remote testing enabled




12/51

Functional Testing Automation Tools

Combination of unit test type scripts

with instruments

Android - Robotium

iOS instruments

Code test scriptsno recording

Test on USB or Wifi connected devices only




13/51

Object Comparison based test tools

Automated script generationRecord

Once, Play on multiple devices

Test Library instrumented with testbuild

Execution on remote device for testing

Generates desired environmentalconditions for recording

14/51

Object Comparison based test tools

Simulates required sensor data in

playback

Provides ways to add assertions andregressions

Facilities mobile device cloud forremote testing

Attribute Unit Test Image/OCR Instruments Object

Automatic Script Generation

Automatic code instrumentation N/R

Integration with CI

Record once execute on any device

No impact of UI position changes on

the test script

Test Scripts are independent of device

resolution/screen size

Asynchronous test execution on

multiple remote devices

Automatic UI verification withfunctional test execution

16/51

Combination of Object and ImageComparison based tools

Automatic UI verification along withfunctional test execution

Moving Towards Hybrid



17/51

Enhanced hybrid approach

Automatic system / UI object mapping

Automatic transversal of app

What Next?



18/51

Enhanced hybrid approach

Execution of functional test cases will

provide following without extrascripting

Seamless UI verification

Automatic Security testing

Automatic Random Interrupt testing

Automatic app store compliance certification

What Next?
