Q16. Tell About Filter What You Can Create While Checking Logs?
Filters helps you in finding relevant information about your application and you can create filter based on the application package name like com.abc.com and save this filter by name as My application ,when you click on this filter then you will see only logs which are from your application.
You can create filter based on Log tag which is related to the thing that line is doing example if you have placed system.out to print the output put then you can create a filter by tag System.out, then it will short list all the print output.
And you can create filter by Choreographer which helps in finding the skipped frames if you want to see it.
You can create filter corresponding to your PID and log message which is coming as text also.
Q17. Mention What Is The Android Testing Strategy?
The standard Android testing strategy must include the following test:
- Unit Test

- System Test
Q18. Some Issues You Faced During Testing In Regards To The Platforms You Used?
Some time some issue appear on particular version device and OS of device also do matter.
Q19. Types Of Mobile Applications?
Mobile applications can be broadly categorized into three categories i.e, Native app, Web app and Hybrid App.
Native App: Native app are developed specifically for one platform, which is coded with a specific programming language (like Objective C for iOS, Java for Android) and installed directly onto the device and can take full advantage of all the device features — they can use the camera, the GPS, the accelerometer, the compass, the phone book etc. Native apps can use the device’s notification system and can work offline. Native apps are installed through an application store (such as Google Play or Apple’s App Store).Native mobile apps provide fast performance and a high degree of reliability. Example of native app: Temple Run, Candy Crush etc.
Web App:Web applications are mobile web portals that are designed, customized and hosted specifically for mobiles. They are accessed through the mobile device’s web browser using a URL. Web apps became really popular when HTML5 came around and people realized that they can obtain native-like functionality in the browser. Mobile web applications cannot use device functionality. Example of web app: google.com, m.snapdeal.com, m.yahoo.com etc.
Hybrid App:Hybrid Apps are Web apps embedded in a native app, run on the device, and are written with web technologies (HTML5, CSS and JavaScript). Hybrid apps run inside a native container, and leverage the device’s browser engine (but not the browser) to render the HTML and process the JavaScript locally. A web-to-native abstraction layer enables access to device capabilities that are not accessible in Mobile Web applications, such as the accelerometer, camera and local storage. An hybrid app is NOT tied to any platform or any particular mobile device. So, it can run on any device once built. Write Once Run Anywhere (WORA) type of app. Example of hybrid app: Flipkart, Facebook, Twitter etc.
Q20. How Do You Perform End To End Testing In Respect To Mobiles?
It totally depend upon the project to project,can you please elaborate on the question because this is project specific as starting from installation and version upgrade ,uninstallation etc we do apart from functional testing. Security and Performance of application also need to be tested.
Q21. What Tools You Use For Performance Testing And Automation ?
@ Performance testing of the Web service which your application uses you can use jMeter, it is an open source tool which can be used to test the api’s performances.
@Automation: It is very subjective term & totally depends on the project need and type of application , there are several paid tools available in the market like SeeTest, Ranorex, Silk Mobile etc while good free automation tools are Calabash, Appium , Robotium for Android, KIF for iOS and using free tools you require some coding skills like ruby or Java.
Q22. One Thing Which You Cannot Do With Emulator But Can Do With Real Device?
You can test the interrupts like phone call, messages, battery drain out completely while you were using the application under test, low battery scenarios etc on real devices , memory card mount/unmount scenarios , actual performance of you application can be test on real devices only, Bluetooth related testing can be only done on real devices.
Q23. List Out Some Of The Automated Mobile Testing Tools?
For mobile testing, two kinds of automation tools are available to test mobile apps
- Object based mobile testing tools: Jama solution, Ranorex,
- Image based mobile testing tools: RoutinBot, Egg Plant, Sikuli
Q24. Testing Performed/modules Handled By Testers Based On Their Project?
We generally divide the modules among the team members and then shuffle the modules among team member with different devices.
Q25. What Is Mobile Application Testing And How Is It Different From Mobile Testing?
Mobile Application Testing (MAT) is the testing of application on mobile devices and it is different from Mobile Testing (MT) in the term that in MT we focus on the native application features of the Mobile devices like Call, SMS, Media Player etc while in MAT we focus only on the functionality & features of the application under Test. i.e, MT is generally done in handset makers like Samsung, HTC, Nokia, Sony, Apple etc while MAT is done in various product based companies and through there vendors like service based companies which do testing of various mobile applications products on different devices like Gmail on mobile, Skype on mobile etc.
Q26. Mention What Are The Common Bugs Found While Mobile Testing?
Critical: Your phone system crash when testing particular feature in your device
Block: Unable to do anything though phone is on unless you reboot your device
Major: Unable to perform a function of a particular feature
Minor: Under minor bugs usually GUI bugs fall.
Q27. Explain What Is The Difference Between Simulator And Emulator?
Simulator: It is an electronic network simulation equipment or a base station equipment for CDMA/CMA mobile phones. It helps in latching home networks without roaming services and can make Voice; Data calls, SMS,
Emulator: It is a software to test mobile application without a live handset
Q28. List Out The Most Common Problem That Tester Faces While Doing Mobile Testing In Cloud Computing?

iPad Peek: Test your web application using an iPad interface
Test Studio: It enables you to record, build and run automated tests for your iPad and iPhone applications.
Q30. When To Choose Automation Testing And When Manual Testing?
Manual Testing
- If the application has new functionality
- If the application requires testing once or twice
Automate Testing
- If the regression tests are repeated
- Testing app for complex scenarios
Q31. When Performing End To End Mobile Testing What Major Criteria Are Taken Into Consideration?
ajor areas are Installation,first time launching application without having network , uninstallation of app, orientation of app if it support it , testing application performance on different kind of devices and network scenarios , testing the application response how it is responding when invalid user credentials are provided and try to change them after installation n so on.
Also if your application is accessing network then you must see the logs generated during that period so that sensitive information should always go in encrypted form, like if it is payment related CC number etc.
Q32. Explain Android Testing Framework?
Android testing framework includes three segments:
Application Package: It is the target application that requires to be tested
Instrumentation TestRunner: It is a test case runner that runs test cases on target application. It includes an SDK tools for building test and a tool that provides APIs for writing program that control an android device, for example, MonkeyRunner
Test Package: It includes two classes, Test case classes, and Mock objects. Test case classes include test methods to perform on target application, while mock object includes mock data that will be used as sample input for test cases.
Q33. List Out Mobile App Testing?
- Testing in all web browsers
- Browsers very significantly across the devices
- May support xHTML,HTML,WML,AJAX
- Difficulty in Benchmarking the performance due to highly fragmented Market
- Emulators do not capture all the attributes or characteristics of a device
- Implementation of the specification may not be consistent across vendors and devices
- In some situation, trcoder may not respect user experience factors
Q34. How Do You Test Patches/defect Fixes Intended For An App Already In Production?
We generally do regression of relative module and mainly focus on the area which are related to the bug fixes as per the developer as we can not do entire regression in very short span of time, so just do sanity of rest of the application modules on high priority devices(on which you have major customer base if you have crunch of time members & if team size is not an issue do sanity on all major devices)
Q35. Explain What Is Robo-electric Testing Framework?
Testing done on Android Testing Framework for emulators or device is difficult. Running and building test case sometimes takes lots of development effort. Robo-electric framework allows you to run Android test directly on JVM without the need of a device or an emulator.
Q36. Examples Of Defects Found During Mobile Testing?
Issue is saving contact on phone memory or deleting it or some time conference call issue while an active call is there n like that.
Q37. What Are The Tools Used In Debugging ?
We generally use logs to see the cause of issue where the failure is occurring , so for iOS iPhone configuration utility for Android Monitor.bat etc can be used and if you provided logs from these tools developer can easily under stand the cause of issue.
Q38. How Are The Data Generation Tools?
This is generally done by the Use cases, SRS and FRS document as you application specific test data can be only created using these things.
Q39. Explain What Is Port Testing?
This testing is done to test the same functionality on different devices with different platforms.
It is classified into two categories:
- Device Testing
- Platform Testing
Q40. Mention What Should Be The Selecting Criteria For Test Automation Tool For Mobile Testing?
For mobile testing, the test automation tool should have following criteria
Multi-platform support: Ensure that the tool does support your current and future target platform
Script Usability: Object-based tools provides a high degree of the script usability
Jailbreak Requirement: If the tool uses rooted devices, it may not support latest OS version and may be incompatible with MDM policies
Source Code Changes: Sharing source code may not be possible always
Lead time for New OS version: How soon tool can support new iOS/android/other OS version
