Case study in Mobile Testing at Playtech Kiev

Mobiilsete seadmete turg kasvab igapäevaselt. Nutitelefonidest on saanud tähtis osa paljude inimeste igapäevasest sotsiaalelust. Mobiiltelefone kasutataksse paljudel erinevatel eesmärkidel, isiklike otstarvete kõrval ka ärilistel ja meelelahutuslikel.\n\rPaljud IT organisatsioonid on suunanud oma fookuse mobiiliarendusele, et pakkuda erinevaid mobiilseid lahendusi globaalsele turule. Mobiilse tarkvara testimine on üheks osaks mobiilse tarkvara arenduse protsessist. Sellest on saanud täiendav osa tarkvara testimise protsessis. Mobiilse tarkvara testimiseks on välja töötatud mitemeid protseduure, mudeleid, testimise lahendeid ja lähenemisviise. \n\rKäesolevas magistritöös on kirjeldatud mobiilse tarkvara testimise protseduuri Playtech Kievi QA osakonna näitel, keskendudes mobiili- ning veebiteenuste meeskonnale.\n\rMobiilse tarkvara arendusprotsess on üles ehitatud kasutades QA juhi poolt esitatud dokumente ning tehnilisi nõudeid, töötajate küsitlustikku ning erialast kirjandust.\n\rAntud juhtumiuuringu tulemusena valmis mobiili- ning veebiteenuste meeskonna jaoks raport struktureeritud nimistuga soovitustest ning võimalikest parandusettepanekutest. QA juht ning mobiili- ning veebiteenuste tiimi QA juht andsid tagasisidet igale soovitusettepanekule, kiitsid heaks kõige tähtsamate punktide elluviimise sõltuvalt meeskonna tulevikusuundade ja uurimuste pealt tehtud prioriteetidest.The modern digital market of smartphones is growing every day. The smartphone has be-come an important part for many people in their everyday social life. People use mobile devices for different activities, including business and personal needs. \n\rCurrently, many IT companies started to be focused on mobile development to provide different mobile solutions for the global market. Mobile software testing is a part of the mobile development process. It became an additional part of software testing process. There are a lot of different procedures, models, test cases and approaches within mobile software testing. This thesis described the mobile testing stare-of-practice at QA depart-ment, specifically for Mobile and Web Service Team at Playtech Kiev.\n\rAs a result, of this case study the “Mobile and Web Service Team” received a report with the structured list of suggestions and possible improvements. The QA manager and QA Team Leaders of the “Mobile and Web Service Team” gave feedback on each provided suggestions, approved the most important points based on the team’s priority

A metric-based evaluation model for applications on mobile phone

Research on HCI, specifically on mobile application has started more than a decade. Usability metrics have been used as guidelines to evaluate the quality of the system as well as mobile applications. However, the metrics used for evaluation method keep changing due to the new inventions on mobile phones.Thus, there is a need to create a dynamic model for evaluation that can grow together with new inventions and technology.In this paper, we created a dynamic usability metrics model and test the model to ensure the model is reliable and effective.The model comprises usability goals, questions and metrics for evaluation of applications on mobile phone. This paper also reports the usability test results for applications installed on different mobile phone
