A few views on mobile phone testing _ test

Since I took part in the job, mobile testing was my first job and my current job.

Here's a few of my own thoughts on mobile phone testing:

1. The handset test mostly is the black box test, namely the handset application test. There is no great skill in this kind of testing, and many times it is based on personal experience. If a person is familiar with the normal behavior of all the modules of the cell phone, then this person is already a qualified mobile phone test engineer.

2. In addition to experience, but also understand the whole process of testing, can not see the mobile phone, began to play with it. This approach can expose some important problems, but some of the more remote problems are often overlooked. So to understand the whole process, there is a point of view when testing, know where to start and where to test. And this is mostly based on the so-called test cases.

3. Test cases are not omnipotent. It is also what people think, so it has a lot of leaks in itself. So this time, we have to give full play to the advantages of the first article. But understanding the entire functionality is still not a good way to do this. It also requires clear test steps in your mind. In general, testing a function, its purpose is from small to large, to a point as the basis, and then to the surrounding development. That is to say, first of all, to ensure the most basic functions, and then around this function, step by step outward, the first deep function, and then the most basic interaction, and then complex interaction.

If a test engineer can clearly understand the above three points, then I think he is a very good mobile phone test engineer. The rest of the work will have to be supplemented by working experience and good working habits.
