We are back with the 3rd Edition of Test Digest. Recently, there was a market
research report from 1 of the premier analysts which states that the Global market for out-
sourced software testing will continue to grow at an annual growth rate of 10% over the next
4 years. The main drivers for this growth are the need to reduce Operational cost and time.
The report goes on to state that one of the key challenges to this growth is the lack of skilled
resources. So, while there is the opportunity, we still face the challenge of updating our skills
and demonstrating measurable value in each of our projects and assignments. The focus
this time is on Mobile testing. This issue includes an article on the use of appropriate Auto-
mation strategies and tools for Mobile testing. This is an important topic considering the
growth of Mobile technology and will be informative and thought provoking as well.
Happy Reading! And keep the feedback and contributions coming in.
Organizations intending to deploy mobile applications must plan their testing strategy across
manual and automation testing approaches for efficient and error-free delivery. In addition to
real device-based testing , emulators should be included as an integral part of the testing pro-
grams. Enterprise applications require special testing techniques.
