The Mobile Boom – a foreseen fact To say that the use of mobile applications is

booming would be an obvious understatement.

In 2010,mobile app stores will record an estimated $6.2billion in overall sales, including 4.5 billion app downloads.

By 2013,some analysts expect mobile app revenues to exceed $21billion.With charts like this, we wouldn’t bet against them. As they say in the investing world, the trend is your friend.

So if you think that mobile apps are for kids or that it won’t affect your industry/company/team, thinkagain!!!

Mobile Apps testing – Its Different and Challenging than Traditional apps testing

The key challenge being that the design, development, and testing of applications often takes place in an environment much different from “the real world” where users run and interact with those applications.

This challenge is compounded by the fact that development platforms have a very convenient method of testing a mobile app on the desktop via a simulator tool.

Different elements of challenges in practical terms by mobile apps testing user experience as below:

1. ‘Hands On’ Device Interaction2. Screen Size and Viewing: Objects on monitor are closer than they appear3. Data Entry: What the simulators cannot simulate4. Some functions not available on the simulator5. Optimizing functionality across a plethora of devices and operating systems.

And more complexity likes in the tradeoffs of these challenges Spanning across following 3 entities:

Devices, Network, Scripting

Emulators,Simulators,Techniques across different platforms

Types of Mobile EmulatorMobile emulators fall into three main categories:

Device emulators - These are generally provided by device manufacturers and simulate the actual device. Device emulators are excellent for testing your site or application on a particular device or set of devices. Browser emulators - These simulate mobile browser environments. Whilst useful for determining the functionality available in a particular mobile browser, they are useless for device-specific testing.

Operating System Emulators - Microsoft provides emulators for Windows Mobile, and Google provides an emulator for Android. These run within a simulated mobile device environment and provide access to applications running within the operating system, e.g. a Web browser.

Where Can I Find These Emulators?Emulators can generally be found in one of three places:

On a manufacturer’s development portal Bundled as part of an SDK As part of a Web site You can always try searching for a specific emulator in your favourite search engine too, e.g. “iphone emulator”.

The emulators outlined in this article are grouped as follows:

1. Web-based emulators - Apple iPhone Emulatyors,Opera Mini2. Installable emulators – Rim Emulators,Palm Emulators,Microsoft Andriod Emulators,Openwave3. Symbian-based emulators –Symbian S60 emulators,Samsung Emulators,Nokia Emulators,4. Emulators that can only be used to test applications – J2ME Emulators
