From mobile games to enterprise applications and from fun to LBS applications mobile application stores are having applications from all horizons. Over 300,000 mobile apps are actually developed in last three years and apps have been downloaded 10.9 billion times. But together with the opportunities inside this market our competitors are also getting more difficult and tougher.

Mobile Application Testing is totally new in the sphere of testing. Speaking about snags Id love to emphasize that Mobile Application Testing challenges are somewhat interrelated but a bit different as per the Mobile Developers and for that reason as for Mobile QAS. However before indulging straight in to Mobile Application checking, we might know that what are the real pains this industry is facing.

A very large number Cellular Handsets: For cellular builders, i think its one of the leading challenges they may ever face. With the intention to program a mobile application, one needs to be very sure concerning the devices they will be targeting. Reported by a research 1388.2 million handsets were bought in year 2010. These devices are of different screen sizes, input methods (QWERTY, touch, normal) with separate hardware attributes. Knowing the incontrovertible fact that testing on every device is not feasible in the least, the range in handsets is a very large task for Mobile developers.

Diverse Mobile Platforms/OS: There are actually different Platforms/OS at this time inside the market place. Android, IOS, BREW, BREWMP, Symbian, Windows 7, Blackberry (RIM) etc. Diversity in mobile programs, separate OS variations and platform restrictions ensure it is a lttle bit difficult and challenging for improving mobile apps and so for testing them. There could be chance of inconsistency concerning functionality across lots of devices of same platform and every platform sometimes have some restrictions.

Different Mobile Carriers/Manufacturers:-There can be different cell carriers available in the market and every creator may have some norms depending on cell application, when the application is coming preinstalled inside of the device.
