Mobile application testing entails testing software applications developed for mobile devices for their functionality, durability, and consistency. This free online course begins with a brief introduction to the practice of mobile application testing. You will learn about the importance of mobile app development and testing the application after development. We will show you mobile app consumer spending statistics and a projection of mobile applications' revenue through paid downloads and in-app advertisements globally. Furthermore, we'll guide you through the types of mobile app testing and how the testing is done. We will also cover five key points to note while testing mobile applications. Moreover, you will explore some of the terminologies used in mobile application development. These keywords or terminologies are only used in mobile application development and testing. Knowing and understanding them will help you in any interview to become a mobile application tester.

Next, you will study real mobile devices, emulators, and simulators. We will explain the characteristics, similarities, and differences between these devices regarding Android and iOS.
