<h3>The Mobile Test Pyramid</h3><div>The flipped testing pyramid has no stable foundation and mobile testing requires lots of manual testing, which is why I created my own mobile test pyramid consisting of four layers including manual and automated steps. The biggest layer of the pyramid is manual testing and forms the strong foundation for every mobile app project, followed by end-to-end testing, beta testing and a top layer comprising unit testing. The grey parts of the pyramid indicate the automated steps and the white parts are the manual testing steps. The beta-testing layer is new to the pyramid but essential to every mobile app project. Keeping the high expectations of the mobile users in mind requires this layer to be part of every mobile project to get early feedback from your mobile customers. You can either use a crowd testing approach for your beta testing or you can ask your colleagues to beta test early versions of your app to provide important feedback.<br><br>

<h4>So what do we mean by mobile?</h4><div>Within software development, the term mobile refers to the development and testing of software or hardware for mobile devices. Mobile devices range from various sizes and form factors. They can have small screens as well as larger ones. They are packed with different hardware components to power mobile operating systems. Mobile testing comes with a unique challenge for software testers ranging from testing different types of devices and mobile operating systems and the usage of different sensors found within a device. <br><br>
</div><h4>Have you got any examples? </h4><div>Mobile devices can be used in different mobile data networks from slow to fast connections. Mobile hardware and software is able to react on the current location and offer different kinds of input possibilities, like voice, acceleration, or orientation of a device. Mobile products can be developed in different kinds of ways, either with web technologies or native programming languages, such as Swift, Objective C, Kotlin, or Java. <br><br>
</div><h4>What's the value of working with mobile?</h4><div>A stable mobile product being a web or native application offers the customer a great user experience wherever they are. Companies can generate huge revenues with the help of mobile products, assuming they invest in high quality software development, including testing. Everybody in the mobile team must have the same quality mindset in order to develop great product. <br><br>
</div><h4>What are the pitfalls of Mobile Testing?</h4><div>Many teams test mobile product in the wrong environment. For example, in wrong networks or in the environment the customer will use the product. Mobile testing starts too late in the process, keeping in mind the amount of different devices and operating system versions. Teams are not focusing on the target customer base. They try to test on as many devices as possible.</div> image
