Mobile Testing – Automation or Manual

Mobile Testing – Automation or Manual

In previous posts we wrote that there is not enough testing being done in the mobile space but we see that the trend is changing as more outsource vendors (like us) are offering Mobile QA as a service.  The next problem I am seeing is that most testing being done today is manual which creates a lot of delay in today’s agile development world.  Although some manual testing will always be needed there is definitely room for more automation.  What’s driving more a more companies toward test automation is also the ever shrinking release cycle they’re facing for their mobile apps. Whether it’s a mobile web app which can see multiple versions per day, or a native/hybrid app which can be released any other week, the need for continuous feedback is critical.
