Mobile Application Testing (2-Day)
- Understand what makes mobile application testing different from standard software testing
- Learn some of the underlying technologies behind mobile devices and how testing is affected
- Explore the different types of mobile applications and how to test for each
- Get hands on experience with different mobile testing tooling, including:
- Exploratory Testing
- Testing with Simulators, Emulators, and Physical Devices
- Service Testing
- Cloud Emulation Testing
- Test Automation using Selenium IDE
- Globalization Testing
- Discover how mobile applications work and different techniques for testing them
As smart devices take a larger portion of the market share, testers will face pressure to test their web applications for mobile devices and potentially test their own organizations native mobile applications. To test mobile devices, in this fast paced, ever-changing industry, testers must learn to deliver quick, extensive, and successful tests on mobile devices.
Many testers attempt to apply what they know to mobile testing, and why that may work for some functional testing, it often leaves many critical features untested. Untested, critical faults can mean a swift end to a mobile application in the market. Thus, learning how to identify common issues in mobile applications and how to properly test the unique aspects of a mobile application is the only way to be successful.
Hands-on Exercises
In this workshop you will learn about mobile application testing through hands-on activities, exercises, discussions, and demos. You will explore mobile testing techniques on your mobile device, so a mobile device, smartphone, or tablet is required.
Who Should Attend
This introductory course is appropriate for both novice and experienced software testers who are new to mobile application testing. Technical support, business analysts, and test managers may also find this course helpful. A background of basic software testing principles is required.
This course also has a 1-day, hands-on companion course that will teach you Test Automation utilizing Selenium IDE and WebDriver for mobile web testing, Mobile Test Automation Workshop. Learn more and see course dates, locations, and registration options here.
ASTQB Mobile Testing Certification
ASTQB’s Mobile Tester Certification exam was created using the latest mobile testing standards. The certification is based on the ASTQB Mobile Tester syllabus (body of knowledge) that was created by a group of international experts. SQE Training recommends Software Tester Certification—Foundation Level or the CTFL as a prerequisite for those seeking ASTQB Mobile Testing Certification.

For almost a decade, Max Saperstone has been a test engineer focusing on test automation and the continuous integration/continuous delivery process. Max specializes in open source tools—Selenium, JMeter, AutoIT, Cucumber, and Chef. He has led several testing automation efforts, including developing an automated suite focused on web-based software to operate over several applications. Max also headed a major project developing an automated testing structure to run Cucumber tests over multiple test interfaces and environments, while developing a system to keep test data “ageless.” He is currently developing a new testing architecture for SecureCI to allow testing of multiple interfaces, custom reporting, and minimal test upkeep.
