I performed mobile application testing both manually and using automation. Covered various types of testing: functional, UI/UX, performance, compatibility (different devices, OS, resolutions), security, and interruptions.
Manual testing:
- Conducted testing on real devices and emulators/simulators.
- Actively used tools for log collection (ADB, Logcat, Xcode logs), network traffic monitoring (Charles Proxy, Fiddler), resource consumption checks (CPU, RAM, Battery Doctor).
- Tested various usage scenarios, including working with interruptions (calls, SMS, push notifications), background operation, switching networks (Wi-Fi, 3G/4G/5G).
Mobile test automation: Primarily used Appium with Java and Python bindings.
Worked with various element locators:
- XPath
- ID
- Accessibility ID
- Class Chain (iOS)
- UI Automator (Android)
Examples of Appium usage:
Java+Appium:
// Driver initialization
AppiumDriver<MobileElement> driver = new AndroidDriver<>(new URL("from where I will connect to the Appium server"), capabilities);
// Find element by ID
MobileElement element = driver.findElementById("element_id");
// Click on element
element.click();
// Enter text
element.sendKeys("input text");
// Scroll
TouchAction action = new TouchAction(driver);
action.press(point(start_x, start_y))
.moveTo(point(end_x, end_y))
.release()
.perform();
Python+Appium:
# Driver initialization
driver = webdriver.Remote('from where I will connect to the Appium server', desired_caps)
# Find element by accessibility ID
element = driver.find_element_by_accessibility_id('accessibility_id_of_element')
# Get element text
text = element.text
# Swipe
driver.swipe(start_x, start_y, end_x, end_y, duration_ms)
CI/CD integration: Set up automated test runs in CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI) for automatic regression testing after each commit or build. Used emulators/simulators or cloud services for mobile devices for parallel test execution on different configurations.
Tools used:
- JIRA (task, defect, test case management)
- TestRail (test case, test plan, run management)
- Charles Proxy / Fiddler (network traffic analysis)
- ADB / Xcode (device log management)
- Firebase Test Lab / BrowserStack / Sauce Labs (cloud testing on real devices)
Examples of automated tests:
- Login/registration
- Navigation within the app
- Working with forms and data entry
- Testing core functional scenarios
- Checking element display and states
My experience allows me to effectively plan, execute, and automate mobile application testing, ensuring high product quality.
