Mobile Application Dev and QA Testing with Simulated Environments
Do you know that 63 percent of your users would be less likely to do business with you if they experience problems with your mobile application? To ensure top-notch user experience, you need to conduct thorough testing on unpredictable network conditions—even if testing components are unavailable. Wayne Ariola describes an innovative strategy of using simulated test environments to bring the behavior of system dependencies and network conditions under your direct control. Simulated test environments draw on two key technologies for anywhere access to a complete and realistic test environment. FIrst, service virtualization enables teams to emulate the behavior of myriad dependencies involved in end-to-end mobile application transactions. Second, mobile network virtualization adds the ability to emulate the performance of network bandwidth, latency, and jitter. With these tools in place, developers and testers can ensure that applications are validated extensively and accurately so your customers will experience great performance.
