How to Create a Mobile App Testing Strategy With Virtual & Real Devices

Testing mobile apps — whether they’re native, hybrid, or web — requires a solid strategy. The mobile landscape continuously evolves. It is complicated and inconsistent in its behavior, especially when tested together with other activities on the device. While the mobile ecosystem consists of two major platforms — iOS and Android — each platform is quite different, fragmented, and they each require a different testing process. 

Developers and testers have to choose between two target platforms to test against upon each phase of their development life cycle: virtual platforms and real platforms. Compiling all testing types, including unit testing, integration testing, functional and non functional testing, production monitoring testing, and API testing into a single strategy based on proper considerations is a great challenge. 

In this eBook, we will outline the key differences between the two types of platforms and provide a recommended practice around when and how to use each of them for a maximum test coverage objective that eliminates risks for escaped defects.
