What would be common between testing a desktop application and a mobile application?
Mobile testing is the new trend in software testing as millions of applications are being developed for all kinds of platforms. The interfaces are touchscreen and the keyboard? congested. So when a user wants to enter text for an email he has to struggle with different things such as switching from numbers to alpha characters, finger overlap leading to entering the wrong character on the keyboard. Irritating huh? Guys, the screen is just 3.7 inches to a little more in most handsets how else do you expect a keyboard NOT to be congested. Me thinks there is a workaround for this. Voice typing. Interfaces to phones also contain a voice to text converter wherein the text appears on the screen as the user says it. This could greatly reduce the frustration involved in writing. Moreover the world is moving towards Natural User Interfaces for all we know. So guys lets come up with ways to test a mobile phone using voice to text converter. Watch for my blogs on this.
