Mobile Testing - 5 reasons you need UFT Mobile

Mobile testing is tricky without the right tools.

 Over the last couple of articles we’ve discussed some of the challenges that Mobile Testing brings, including:

  • The prohibitive amount of execution effort
  • The number of different device/OS combinations
  • Simulating real-world network conditions 

We’ve discussed tooling in general terms – it’s the only practical way to get through a proper mobile test cycle – but we haven’t looked at tool options yet. 

This week I want to do just that and take a look at the current world leading mobile testing tool, Micro Focus UFT MobileI’m going to look at 5 ways UFT Mobile can help you address your mobile testing challenges.
