The Mobile Landscape
Responsive Website
Responsive web is a web page that adjusts to the size of the screen. This single code base allows users to interact with the same content in the appropriate layout based on the device.
Native Application
Native apps run as individual applications on the mobile device. They are generally faster than web, have greater integration with the operating system and generally have different code bases for each platform.
Hybrid App
Hybrid apps blend these two technologies together. A webview is wrapped in a native application. It appears to be a native app, but uses web technologies and usually a single code base.
A Unique Platform
Mobile is truly a unique platform with many factors to consider.
Hardware
Mobile hardware includes the camera, Bluetooth, process, memory, storage, and many more factors that will impact your selection of physical devices to test.
Users
Your software is unique and so are your users. Testing how each of these users will interact with the various features on your app is important to the final customer experience. Equally important is to know your customers, their preferences and technology.
Operating System
The Operating System of a device plays a considerable role in features and test cases in an app. To ensure coverage for your users, it is critical to support all primary Operating Systems of both current and future customers.
