Abstract :
Testing of mobile applications which run on smart devices is more complex due to diversity of mobile devices and computational resources. Mobile testing using emulators which doesn´t include real network traffic and testing mobile applications in more than one portable device in single system was also not possible in normal testing. In order to overcome the draw backs of normal testing, in this paper we deployed a Mobile Testing as a Service (MTAAS) framework in cloud environment. By using MTAAS framework many mobile applications can be tested in different portable devices and different mobile platforms. Testing of mobile applications using MTAAS provides most realistic results since it includes real network speed. Finally, we conducted an experiment in MTAAS framework and testing results shows that MTAAS can effectively reduce the complexity of mobile testing on different smart devices.
