MOBILE TESTING

MOBILE TESTING




Mobile device testing is the process of ensuring the quality of the hardware and software of a mobile or handheld device.
It is generally conducted by mobile device manufacturers to ensure that the device is working properly or within the desired parameters before it is released for consumers.
Mobile device testing is also known as mobile device unit testing.







Types of Mobile Testing

There are broadly 2 kinds of testing that take place on mobile devices:
#1. Hardware testing:
The device including the internal processors, internal hardware, screen sizes, resolution, space or memory, camera, radio, Bluetooth, WIFI etc. This is sometimes referred to as, simple “Mobile Testing”.
#2. Software or Application testing:
The applications that work on mobile devices and their functionality is tested. It is called the “Mobile Application Testing” to differentiate it from the earlier method. Even in the mobile applications, there are few basic differences that are important to understand:
a) Native apps: A native application is created for use on a platform like mobile and tablets.
b) Mobile web apps are server-side apps to access website/s on mobile using different browsers like chrome, Firefox by connecting to a mobile network or wireless network like WIFI.
c) Hybrid apps are combinations of native app and web app. They run on devices or offline and are written using web technologies like HTML5 and CSS.

JavaScript prototype,,😊

This article is about JavaScript prototypes which confused me for a long time. In this article, I will explain JavaScript prototypes by following the outline below: What is JavaScript prototype How does it work __proto__ and prototype Examples What is the difference between using a prototype and no prototype Performance issues What is JavaScript Prototype Unlike many other object-oriented languages, JavaScript uses prototypes to share funcitonality with other objects— what does this mean? Prototypes are the mechanism by which JavaScript objects inherit features from one another. They share data and methods defined in a root prototype object. More simple is that all JavaScript objects inherit properties and methods from a prototype object. How does it work In my view, everything in JavaScript is an object . Functions are an   object . Strings, Boolean, and Number are   objects   (they are primitives wrapped in objects which provide functionality suc...
