Compatibility Testing for Mobile Devices

We know how to plan and execute compatibility testing for website that run in multiple browsers. The mobile world also presents a challenge of compatibility testing, yet responding to this challenge is not easy. Mobile devices differ in operating systems and their flavors, processing power, memory, display size and resolution - just to name a few factors. Moreover, the mobile market is not only diverse but also very dynamic: new OS versions and new hardware appear on almost monthly basis. How do we implement the principles of compatibility testing for the mobile market, covering the bases and minimizing risk without turning testing into a continuous nightmare and our cubicles - into smartphone warehouses? What are the relevant factors that determine on which devices and with which operating systems to test? What are the principal differences between testing mobile websites and native apps as far as compatibility is concerned? What are the criteria for deciding whether to buy devices or rent a lab? These and other questions will be addressed during the webinar that gives a glimpse of one of the topics to be discussed in a full course.
