Answer / uttam chavan

Jotted some of the test coverage we need to focus on mobile testing which differed from web testing.

1. Interrupts : How app responds when it has interrupted by calls,SMS,alerts or Wi-fi change when the app is running.App should regain it's state after the interruption.

2.Mobile apps execute on the limited hardware resources and make sure that there is no hangups or performance issues.

3.Cross platform and cross devices :
App should be tested on different OS and Different devices for same issue(Android: MOTO G,Nuxes etc)

4.UI components loading,component locations while device is in different orientations.

5. Push notifications : Mobile apps works on push notifications whereas pc web applications doesn't have such concept.

What the difference between web testing and mobile application testing..

Answer / jaspreet singh

As other people suggested the difference lies in what you
are really testing in each case.

Mobile Application testing refers to assuring quality in
apps developed specially for mobile devices, most likely a
native app, any of those you can find in your smartphone.

Mobile testing on the other hand would refer as testing
other things in a mobile device, those things could also be
web apps, but these weren't originally designed specifically
for mobile devices. For example, making sure your site
doesn't break on an iPhone,etc
