Wireless Application Testing

Wireless applications are booming in the modern PDA and cell phone market. Standalone applications and value-added extensions of existing applications are both excellent ways to attract customers and increase the value of the hardware. Many companies use these applications as a way to retain customers and improve customer experience and satisfaction.Testing these applications has continued to be a road block for many developers. Difficulty insecuring all platforms, and testing the many disparate configurations is cumbersome and time consuming.
2.TYPES OF TESTING:
a) Functional Testing
A set of functional tests will be developed based on client documentation. Functional tests verify that the application performs the tasks correctly and accurately as explained in the client documentation. Dedicated QA Engineers will write test cases for each component of functionality and execute those tests. Tests will be clearly defined prior to execution, with an emphasis on actions and expected corresponding behaviors.
b) Compatibility Testing

The wireless market has a myriad of devices available. The differences in each device can be extensive. Each device can have a different operating system, support different technologies, and have different hardware. Presenting a similar end-user experience on each device is challenging. Generally, each platform requires a separate version of the application, and in some cases, the same platform may have different versions for each different device. This often happens when developing applications for cell phones. Different screen sizes/resolutions and differences in other physical hardware often make it necessary to have different versions for each platform.
