Abstract freely available; full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers Testing applications for mobile phones is difficult, time-consuming and hard to do effectively. Many people have limited their testing efforts to hands-on testing of an application on a few physical handsets, and they have to repeat the process every time a new version of the software is ready to test. They may miss many of the permutations of real-world use, and as a consequence their users are left with the unpleasant mess of a failing application on their phone. Test automation can help to increase the range and scope of testing, while reducing the overhead of manual testing of each version of the software. However automation is not a panacea, particularly for mobile applications, so we need to pick our test automation challenges wisely. This book is intended to help software and test engineers pick appropriately to achieve more; and as a consequence deliver better quality, working software to users Preface -- What is inside -- Conventions -- What you will need -- Using code examples -- Alphabet soup and the half-life of links -- Acknowledgments -- 1.
