In the beginning of 2019, I launched my mobile testing course in cooperation with Ministry of Testing. In case you haven’t heard about it, this short blog post will give you an idea what to expect from the course which is available on the Dojo from Ministry of Testing. The course name is: A Beginners Guide to Mobile Testing and was made for software testers who are new to mobile testing or want to switch from another industry field to mobile. The course teaches you the foundations and will cover all the basics of mobile testing and have even sprinkled in some quick, fun tasks throughout to help you develop new mobile related use cases to implement at your company.
This 9-part course will take you through the fundamentals of testing mobile applications and help you kick start your activities.
The Course Content
The course will cover:
- The different mobile data networks including the pros and cons.
- The technical specifications of mobile devices including the architecture as well as the built-in sensors which are used by millions of mobile apps.
- The different mobile app types and how they can affect your testing activities.
- The different business models behind apps to aid you in defining a solid mobile testing strategy.
- The different mobile app stores focusing on Apple and Google.
Beginners Guide to Mobile Testing is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes long and packed with around 3 hours worth of tasks for you to try out as well as extra resources to support you.
Course Resources
There are lots of open resources suggested in the individual Lesson Resources sections, as well as, links to The Club forum where you can share your progress and findings from the authentic testing tasks recommended throughout this course.
In addition, you can take a look at my book “Hands-On Mobile App Testing” which can be used to support your learnings while taking this course.
Prerequisites
It would be advantageous if you have a basic understanding of software testing, but no mobile skills are required.
