A large percentage of modern users abandon mobile apps after one time use. Hence, each mobile app must deliver optimal user experience across devices, platforms, and networks to remain popular and profitable in the longer run. The QA professionals have to assess the user experience delivered by a mobile app based on its functionality, performance, usability, accessibility, and security. They also need to perform the tests under varying user conditions to assess the user experience delivered by the mobile app accurately.

Overview of 4 Handy Mobile App Testing Tools Appium The open source tool simplifies functional testing of Android and iOS applications. It can be used for testing both native and hybrid apps for these two mobile platforms. Also, it can efficiently test application developed using Android or iOS SDK. Appium further supports Apple Safari and various browsers compatible with Android. Hence, the developers can also use Appium to test the functionality of various mobile app web applications. They also have option to run the same app code on both real devices and emulators without making any major modifications.
Calabash The open source automated acceptance testing tool is developed and maintained by Xamarin. It provides distinct open source libraries for both Android and iOS. These libraries allow the test code to interact with both native and hybrid apps programmatically. Also, the APIs provided by Calabash helps testers to assess the touch screening experience of the mobile apps more efficiently. The tool enables developers to perform automated functional testing of native Android and iOS apps. Also, testers can use Calabash to execute automated acceptance tests written in Java, Ruby, C# and other programming languages.
MonkeyTalk Recently Oracle acquired MonkeyTalk, which was originally designed as an open source mobile app testing tool by CloudMonkey. The tool can be used for testing both native and hybrid applications for iOS and Android. The testing professionals can further take advantage of three major components of MonkeyTalk, i.e., IDE, scripts and agents. They can use the IDE to create test scripts rapidly using the record-and-playback system. The agents can be used to link the mobile app and test scripts through keywords, syntax and Java execution engine. MonkeyTalk can also be used for testing all aspects on an Android or iOS app.
Frank The open source test framework can be used only for testing iOS applications. It is designed with features to simplify development of structured acceptance tests and requirements. Also, Frank comes with built-in Symbiote app inspector, and does not require users to make changes to the app code. However, many testers find it difficult to use Frank directly on iOS devices. But they prefer using the tool to test web-based and native apps for iPhone and iPad.
