Optimize the Current Testing Process for Enterprise Mobile Applications

One-size-fits-all testing does not work – test for a mobile-specific context.

  • Your team has little or no experience in mobile testing.
  • You need to optimize current testing processes to include mobile.
  • You need to conduct an RFP for mobile testing tools.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

  • One-size-fits-all testing won’t work for mobile. The testing tools are fragmented.
  • Mobile offers many new test cases, so organizations can expect to spend more time testing.

Impact and Result

  • Identify and address gaps between your current testing process and a target state that includes mobile testing.
  • Establish project value metrics to ensure business and technical requirements are met.

Optimize the Current Testing Process for Enterprise Mobile Applications Research & Tools

1. Assess the current testing state

Determine a starting point for architecture and discuss pain points that will drive reusability.

2. Determine the target state testing framework

Document a preliminary list of test requirements and create vendor RFP and scoring.

3. Implement testing tools to support the testing SOP

Create an implementation rollout plan.
