Device testing techniques are essential for ensuring software applications function correctly across various devices and operating systems. This lesson covers various methods of testing, key concepts, and best practices for effective device testing.

2. Key Concepts

3. Testing Methods

3.1 Manual Testing

Manual testing involves human testers using the application on real devices to identify any issues.

3.2 Automated Testing

Automated testing uses scripts and software tools to test applications across multiple devices.

3.3 Testing Steps

1. Identify devices and platforms for testing.
2. Create a testing plan outlining objectives and criteria.
3. Execute tests, both manually and automatically.
4. Document the results and any identified issues.
5. Analyze results and report findings.
