It's a new month and I keen to do the Mobile Testing Pathway by Katrina Clokie
Reading the reference list
2010 - Test mobile applications with I SLICED UP FUN! - Jonathan Kohl
- Use the following Mnemonic to generate test ideas for mobile app testing
- I - Inputs (keyboard/touch/peripherals)
- S - Store (good source for product claims & marketing material. Also customer feedback)
- L - Location (where you are matters, G3, G4, WiFi, moving between, turn location service off)
- I - Interactions/Interruptions (from other applications running on the resource limited mobile)
- C - Communication (can you still make/receive calls/txt's/emails)
- E - Ergonomics (consider overuse issues of suboptimal ergonomics)
- D - Data (follow the data, scope the breath of data)
- U - Usability (follow the emotions, do people like using the app)
- P - Platform (consider the hardware eg hi/lo specs, and the OS and ecosystem)
- F - Function (does it do what it should)
- U - User Scenarios (go on a real user's journey through the app)
- N - Network (mobile connectivity is a multitude of unreliability)
2012 - Testing mobile applications with COP (who) FLUNG GUN - Dhanasekar Subramaniam
- Use the following Mnemonic to generate test ideas for mobile app testing (many are repeats from above)
- C - Communication
- O - Orientation (of the device)
- P - Platform
- F - Function
- L - Location
- U - User Scenarios
- N - Network
- G - Gestures (swipe, multitouch, shake, pich etc)
- G - Guidelines (from Apple/Android etc)
- U - Updates (& downgrades)
- N - Notifications (banner, alerts, when locked, push)
2012 - Applying SFDPOT to mobile testing - Karen N Johnson
- Use the following Mnemonic to generate test ideas for testing almost anything
- S - Structure (eg system architecture)
- F - Function (what does it do)
- D - Data (inputs, outputs, what it processes)
- P - Platform (What does it depend on)
- O - Operations (How will it be used)
- T - Time (how does time affect it)
2013 - Mobile testing checklist - Rosie Sherry
