As of March 2017, Android users were
able to choose between 2.8 million
apps. Apple's App Store remained the
second largest app store with 2.2
million available apps.

Nagarro’s 5-step approach to a successful mobile testing strategy
A future-proof mobile testing strategy revolves around automation, maximum coverage, and optimized cost.

7. This involves identifying a set of real devices, platforms, and
simulators where the automation framework will run. The aim is
to:
• establish the right balance between simulators and real
devices to optimize cost without impacting quality.
• test basic application functionality and flow on simulators.
• test touch response and user experience on real devices.
Step 1: Device
sampling

8. Step 2: Choose the right
automation tool
Choosing the right automation tool can set the course for
future testing processes. The selection is broadly based on
the following criteria:
- Type of mobile platform
- Script reusability
- Pricing
- Browser support capabilities
- Ease-of-use
Open source tools
Commercial tools
XCUI test

9. Step 3: Select the right
automation
framework
The focus here is on the type of automation framework
(data-driven, keyword-driven, hybrid) for the mobile application.
The framework selection checklist must include:
- The size of the application
- Product and domain knowledge
- Process-oriented and long-term solution
- Automation tool preferences
- Future enhancements and modifications in the application

10. Step 4: Minimize automation
risk
The risk of automation can be minimized by:
• building a small PoC (Proof of Concept) of 2-3 weeks to
automate critical business workflows.
• identifying any major issues that might be encountered
during future automation.
• accurately estimating the volume of automation.

11. Monitoring the automation process is essential in order to
identify the risks at the right time. This involves:
- Automation scripting
- Execution
- Debugging and reporting stats and KPIs (such as coverage,
detected defects, etc.)
Step 5: Monitoring
