The constant proliferation of smartphones has put-forth a challenge for the application developers as well as QAs to develop and release mobile applications that provide a seamless user experience. Device fragmentation is indeed one of the biggest challenges for QAs.

Testing apps for every single Android and iOS device manually is an effort-intensive and inefficient task. As a result, it has become necessary for teams to use mobile automation testing tools to speed up the test process. This article will quickly walk you through three mobile app testing tools that teams can use for automating their app testing on real devices.

So let’s get started.

#1. BrowserStack.

BrowserStack is a renowned platform that provides a real device cloud for web and mobile app testing. It provides integrations with leading automation frameworks like Appium, XCUI, EarlGrey, etc. It also supports cross browser testing using Selenium WebDriver for automated web-app testing. Testing native device features like Geo-location, Push-notifications becomes extremely convenient for QAs using BrowserStack. Teams can easily get rid of their internal grid.

Key Benefits.

  • Seamless Integration with popular test automation frameworks
  • Real Device Cloud with the latest Android and iOS devices
  • Easy automation of gestures and other native features
  • Effortless debugging with device logs, video recording and more
  • Also allows QAs to test apps on Internal development or staging environments

#2. TestingBot

TestingBot is another platform that provides mobile device testing in the cloud. QAs can easily perform manual and automated tests on physical android and ios devices using this platform.

Key Benefits.

  • Supports both Selenium and Appium for Web and Mobile App automation
  • Visual and Performance testing
  • Headless testing on Cloud
  • Provides Integrations with other CI/CD tools like Jenkins, Jira and more

#3. Monkey Talk

Monkey Talk is yet another testing platform that enables QAs to automate real, functional interactive tests for iOS and Android applications

Key Benefits.

  1. Easy to understand scripts
  2. Provide record/playback functionality for test scripts
  3. It provides both HTML and XML reports. Besides it also captures screenshot when a failure occurs
  4. Provides integrations with CI/CD tools like Jenkins and Hudson.
  5. Same Scripts can be reused for Android and iOS

Getting acquainted with the right mobile automation testing tool is a must for teams to speed up their test cycles as it helps them remain ahead in the competitive market. Using any of the above-listed tools teams can automate their apps faster.
