4 Key Challenges of Mobile Testing

The growth of mobile technology is nothing short of phenomenal. The hardware has improved dramatically over the last few years, but it’s the software that truly unleashes the potential of devices. What’s really driving the incredible success of smartphones and tablets is the application market. According to ABI Research, the mobile app market will be worth $27 billion in 2013 and that’s projected to grow further in the years to come.

A meteoric rise like this inevitably creates problems for developers, as they work out how to produce apps quickly and efficiently for a diverse set of devices. QA departments are left playing catch up as they endeavor to test apps properly before they are rushed out the door. Testing for the mobile market is a new challenge. It’s a fast-paced industry that’s constantly changing, and that throws up some unique problems.
