This article gives a detailed description of mobile and Web app testing. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to make a career in testing.
Mobile testing is basically the testing of an application on a mobile platform. Such applications are developed to run on mobile devices. They are mainly tested for functionality, usability and consistency. Nowadays, mobility solutions have taken over the market. People don’t want to switch on their laptops or PCs for everything, but would rather use their handheld devices to perform tasks quickly. Hence the mobile solutions that are delivered to clients should be tested very well.
Some open source tools that can be used for mobile app testing are Appium, Calabash, Money talk, Robotium, etc.
Web app testing
This is basically software testing that focuses on Web applications. It is a software testing technique exclusively adopted to test the applications that are hosted on the Web, to which the application interfaces.
Some open source tools for this are Selenium, JMeter, WebLOAD, Grinder, OpenSTA, etc. Among these, Selenium is the most popular.
The importance of testing a project before delivery
Testing is necessary because nothing is perfect in this world. We all make mistakes, i.e., in the process of software development, bugs often do emerge. We learn from our mistakes and once identified, we iron out the bugs. Some of these mistakes are unimportant, but some can be expensive or dangerous. So to prevent major mishaps, we need to test everything that is delivered to customers.
Some reasons for mobile testing
1. It is important to ensure that the application does not result in any failures because that can prove very expensive in the future or in the later stages of software development.
Proper testing ensures that bugs and issues are detected early in the life cycle of the product or application.

Helgrind: Detecting Synchronisation Issues in Multithreaded Programs
Let's explore how Helgrind can be used to detect and debug multithreading issues with the help of a multithreaded C program.
The Perfect Process of Booting a PC
Booting a PC seems as simple as eating a cake. But are you aware of all that goes on behind-the-scenes to bake a delicious cake or seamlessly boot a PC?
Exploring eBPF and its Integration with Kubernetes
eBPF, a game-changing technology that extends the capabilities of the Linux kernel, offers significant advantages for Kubernetes networking. It also greatly improves Kubernetes observability by capturing detailed telemetry data directly from the kernel. Read on to find out how its integration with Kubernetes has immense benefits.
Deploying Generative AI LLMs on Docker
Built on massive datasets, large language models or LLMS are closely associated with generative Al. Integrating these models with Docker has quite a few advantages.
Containerisation: The Cornerstone of Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Cloud Success
Open source containerisation software provides the flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and community support needed to build and manage complex multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments. By leveraging this software, businesses can unlock the full potential of multicloud and hybrid cloud architectures while minimising vendor lock-in risks.
From Virtual Machines to Docker Containers: The Evolution of Software Development
Containerisation and Kubernetes have eased software development, making it faster and better. Let's see where these are headed, looking at trends that are making life easier for developers.
India's Leap in Supercomputing: Innovating for Tomorrow
As India strides towards self-sufficiency in supercomputing, embracing this evolution isn't just an option-it is pivotal for global competitiveness and technological leadership.
SageMath: A Quick Introduction to Cybersecurity
In the previous articles in this SageMath series, we delved into graph theory and explored its applications using SageMath. In this seventh article in the series, it is time to shift our focus to another crucial subfield of computer science: cybersecurity and cryptography.
Efficient Prompt Engineering: Getting the Right Answers
OpenAl's GPT-3 and GPT-4 are powerful tools that can generate human-like text, answer questions, and provide insights. However, the quality of these outputs depends heavily on how you frame the input, or prompt. Efficient prompt engineering ensures you get the right answers by designing inputs that guide the AI towards relevant, clear, and useful responses. Let's find out how to craft effective prompts with examples.
Analysing Linus Torvald's Critique of Docker
This article looks at Docker's security flaws, particularly its shared-kernel model, and contrasts it with traditional VMs for better isolation. It discusses Linus Torvalds' concerns, explores mitigation techniques, and proposes a roadmap for building a more secure containerisation platform using hardware-assisted virtualisation, true isolation, and a robust orchestration layer.
