Case Brief
In addition, after all, automated testing can not completely replace manual testing for new features in its early development, UI obvious change of function, as well as user experience testing, exploratory testing and other testing activities still have to rely on people's initiative. These must rely on manual testing tasks, how should improve efficiency?
This case combined with a number of large enterprise mobile testing platform ( https://platform.neusoft.com/allproducts/utf-mobile) construction experience, analyze the root causes of these problems. From a mobile device management, mobile application management, test case design, manual test execution, test automation support, test result analysis and report generation automated manual dimension share of mobile cloud test platform for building programs .
Case goals
In recent years, the project, the proportion of mobile App projects increased year by year. Adaptation of models, product quality, frequency and other hair version increasingly high demand, the traditional manual testing has been unable to cope. In many of our previous projects we had run the open-source testing tools, test purchases through public cloud services, but the promotion is very difficult, the effect is far less than expected. Existing testers do not understand technology, it is a fait accompli. So we need to move in the process of solving many problems in testing, gradually precipitated a set of effective, suitable for manual testers of mobile testing platform. Meet our needs in testing equipment management, manual testing, automated functional testing, compatibility testing of adaptation.
Success Points
Mobile App test platform needs to provide test cases, automated test scripts, test data maintenance, checkpointing, report generation, and support mainstream Android, IOS version and equipment. Since many types of mobile devices, network conditions vary greatly, so in order to improve the applicability and stability of automated test scripts, test scripts need to support the same set of running on the same operating system type of a variety of mobile phones, and can be adaptive network speed no need to repeatedly adjust the waiting time in the script. In order to facilitate the promotion of internal manual functional test team, test automation platform needs to be able to support testers no coding skills to use and provides browser-based access to B / S interface, avoiding complicated installation process testers. Eventually in the form of mobile test tool can cloud test platform for the promotion of the test team. Means to enhance the efficiency of the test is not only automated testing, manual testing is still the most important means to ensure software quality, how to improve the efficiency of manual testing itself, but also need to focus on the test tool.
Case ROI analysis
In the case of the preparation of the test team did not change significantly, and every hair version of the model regression test coverage and coverage increased by more than 3 times, test equipment utilization rate doubled for continuous integration, DevOps provide key technical support.
Inspirations
Most types of software testing are included to improve the point "to enhance testing efficiency" and "improving test equipment utilization," two categories, when testing mobile App is no exception. Due to the special nature of the mobile application itself, the main improvement strategies include: work automation automate repetitive work for mobile App repetitive testing process, such as: After App version upgrade, based on extensive regression testing equipment, in order to cover more than operating system, multi-resolution, multi-network environment. mechanical automate the testing process for mobile App to enhance the mechanical properties (does not require subjective thinking), but not in accordance with strict procedures repetitive work, but also the need for efficiency through automation tool. For example, when the manual testing, submit a defect during inconvenient to get screenshots, logs, performance data; prepare a detailed report of the test during the test period, more than the simple test execution time. improve test equipment utilization test equipment face dispersed, decentralized test team, test equipment utilization, effectiveness testing team management are challenges, are also mobile testing platform required coverage.
In case the significance of the team
Mobile App everywhere. Frequent releases, mass models, discerning customers, network speed instability, fragmentation of Android devices, iOS devices ... closed mobile App tests gave a huge challenge. Powerless manual testing, automated testing difficulties, what should we improve the efficiency of the mobile App tests work? This case combined with a number of large enterprise mobile testing platform construction experience, tiptronic share of the mobile cloud from a mobile device management, mobile application management, test case design, manual test execution, test automation support, test result analysis and report generation dimension test platform building programs.
