Mobile Testing – 5 reasons you need UFT Mobile

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.

5 ways UFT Mobile can help you

As we’ve seen, there are so many considerations to mobile testing – Which devices, screen sizes and operating systems? How to simulate network conditions and roaming? There’s also device security, power consumption and battery life? Not to mention usability, or how your app will cope with changes to user settings?

Micro Focus UFT Mobile is built for exactly these challenges.

UFT Mobile will make your life so much easier:

  1. Shrink Your Execution Effort with automation – Mobile Test Automation with UFT Mobile will slash your test cycle execution times. Weeks become nights, or even hours. Kick off the tests before you shut down for the evening and have the results ready first thing in the morning – Instead of waiting weeks for manual executions.
  2. No more wasted effort finding and maintaining devices – With UFT Mobile you will never need to find a device again. UFT Mobile provides remote access to real mobile devices and in-built emulators so you can access your in-scope phones and tablets at the touch of a button. 
  3. Simulate your real-world network conditions – UFT Mobile lets you simulate multiple different network conditions and signal strengths. This allows you to see how your solution will perform in the real world. No more guesswork, no more unpredictable performance.
  4. Leverage your existing assets with open source tool integration – UFT Mobile integrates with your existing tools to make your life as easy as possible. You don’t have to duplicate effort across solutions, you don’t have to create bespoke integration harnesses. UFT Mobile will fit seamlessly into your current landscape – including integrations with UFT One and with open source automated testing tools such as Appium and Selenium.
  5. Make sure your mobile solution is functional, secure and performant – UFT Mobile is your central location for all mobile testing. UFT Mobile integrates with your other tools (such as Fortify and LoadRunner) so you can execute functionalsecurity and performance testing across all of your in-scope devices.

Mobile testing is tricky without the right tools, but UFT Mobile does make is significantly easier. mobile testing easier and quicker. We’ve seen 5 ways UFT Mobile can help you address your mobile testing challenges. The next step is to get your hands on the tool and see for yourself.

Test Automation Hype

Are Test Automation Claims Just Marketing Hype?

Read the marketing collateral from test automation vendors and you’ll encounter bold promises around costs, coverage, and defect reduction. However, for many who have been through multiple automation initiatives, the reality frequently fails to live up to the pitch.

Adding More Testers Makes Quality Worse

When Adding More Testers Makes Quality Worse!

You’re deep into a project, go-live is rapidly approaching, but there is a mountain of testing to get through. Then, a key stakeholder chimes in, “Let’s just pull more people into testing.” It sounds logical: bigger effort, higher quality. But doubling down on resources can easily lead to chaos, confusion, and worse software quality.

Is Open Source Trustworthy

Do You Trust Open-Source Tools for Enterprise Testing?

Open-source testing tools like JMeter and Selenium have obvious appeal—no licensing fees, endless customisation, and a community to lean on. But, if you’re using open-source for mission-critical testing, you need to ask—is it really worth the risk?

Should testers be allowed to block releases?

Should Testers Be Allowed to Block Releases?

Your testers find a critical bug the night before a major release. Should they have the power to stop the launch?

Testers provide essential insights into software quality and risk. Their analysis is critical for decision-makers, so would it make sense to give them the power to veto releases?

Bug seeding

Bebugging: Would You Plant Defects to Test Testers?

Would you intentionally plant defects to test your test team? Bebugging, as it’s known, is a technique where software flaws are purposely introduced to gauge testing effectiveness. Are there times and places where bebugging is a valid way to help improve processes, tighten up testing, or root out a potential weak link?

Unethical Test Tool Marketing

Exposed: Are You Being Conned By Test Tool Marketing?

We have all witnessed an alarming rise in deceptive marketing practices that undermine customer decision-making and market integrity, with tool vendors increasingly comparing their tools to industry leaders using deliberately misleading information.

Flaky Automated Tests

Are Flaky Automated Tests Better Than None at All?

Is flaky automation better than no automation at all? Does it help accelerate projects and reduce timelines, or does it end up causing more problems than it solves? And are the questions moot when, with modern AI-powered tools, there’s no excuse for flaky tests?

Software Testing Concepts

Software QA Mythbusting: 5 Misunderstood Testing Concepts

We’ve all been there—sitting in a meeting, nodding along, confident that everyone shares the same understanding, only to discover later that our ideas were built on shaky ground, based on false assumptions and an incomplete grasp of a complex situation. In the world of software development, nowhere is this more common, or more consequential, than with software testing.

LoadRunner v JMeter

LoadRunner: Cheaper & Easier Than JMeter?

Four years ago, I wrote about how LoadRunner Cloud was debunking the myth that open-source is cheaper. At the time, LoadRunner Cloud’s pay-as-you-go pricing, bundled infrastructure, and rapid setup were already making it a compelling alternative to JMeter and similar tools.
