I would like to share this blog with mobile testing community:
With the growing end user computation options, compatibility testing is becoming a very important, yet challenging area in the last few years. Personal computers, laptops, MACs, tablets, smart phones are all becoming more prevalent; especially, mobile computing options are flooding the market place. Amidst all of this changing hardware and its associated software landscape, there is an increasing need for software applications to be omnipresent in all these options. This is not an easy scenario to handle from a software testing angle though, because of the number of combinations in which the application needs to be verified, in the limited resources and time on hand. I will be talking about the testing challenges that exist today, taking a specific example of testing for Android applications, and also discussing some mitigation strategies.
Testing across combinations: Encourage testers to test across combinations, even when they are using the application in an ad-hoc fashion. Encourage cross discipline testers, who may not be directly working on your project, especially when you are testing a consumer application.
