Simplifying Mobile app testing with AWS Device Farm.

With AWS Device Farm, you can interact with real Android and iOS devices from your browser or run automated tests written in popular frameworks like Appium, Espresso, and XCTest.

Device Farm was launched by Amazon in July 2015 and it has been improved a ot over the years. It helps mobile developers test their apps against a large (and growing) collection of real phones and tablets to improve the quality of their apps. (more…)

What can disrupt mobile app testing in 2025?

In STC 2019 conference, pCloudy hosted a contest “What can disrupt mobile app testing in 2025?”. I participated and won the contest. Below are my thoughts on mobile app testing in 2025:

Intelligent Digital Mesh:

Intelligent Digital Mesh is the mesh of people, devices, digital content and services. It will transform the mobile businesses and apps.

1. Intelligent apps use AI and machine learning to interact in a more intelligent way with people and surroundings. A recent example is Google’s Motion Sense feature in pixel 4 (radar-based technology developed by Google) where you can control apps on mobile by moving hand/fingers in air without touching the mobile screen.

Soon this will be adopted by mobile apps and the challenge will be how to test such features. Next is what if we implement AI/ML in Motion Sense tech where system learns the user gestures.

2. Conversational platforms (like Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri) when integrated with digital twins or AR/VR and mixed reality are changing the way that people perceive and interact with the digital world and devices.

3. Block chain, event driven when combined with AI/ML and Conversational platforms will make the testing further complicated.

We need to build strong AI/ML automated algo for mobile testing to test all the above mentioned stack.

Test Mobile Readiness of any website | Mobile-friendly testing tool


Mobile Friendly Websites are the Future. Mobile ecosystem is growing and it is very important for website owners and companies who provide online services/products to support their products/services on mobile browsers. According to a Google Report:

  • More than 60% of users leave a website/service if it is not mobile-friendly.
  • More than 65% of users give preference to buy from mobile-friendly website.
  • More than 70% of users more likely to return to a website if it is mobile-friendly.
  • Around 48% gets frustrated if website is not mobile-friendly.

Here is the list of handy tools which will tell you whether a website is mobile-friendly or not:

2. W3C Mobile OK Checker – http://validator.w3.org/mobile/ This checker performs various tests on a Web Page to determine its level of mobile-friendliness. The tests are defined in the mobileOK Basic Tests 1.0 specification – http://www.w3.org/TR/mobileOK-basic10-tests/

3. mobiReady – http://ready.mobi/ A free tool for developers, designers and marketers to test website performance on mobile devices. Also give detailed technical results and recommendations. I like this tool very much It gives detailed test results and visualization w.r.t various displays.

4. MobileTest.me – http://mobiletest.me/ It’s an online mobile site emulator. It gives you option to select device and run tests on it. Also gives options of Orientation (Portrait/Landscape) and Emulation (Responsive/Mobile)
