17. Objects Introduction

18. Objects Introduction
Objects are the ‘building blocks’ of an application
Buttons, Edit boxes, Lists etc.
It’s impossible to develop automation without accessing and recognizing the
application objects
All use cases and test scenario's leverage the application objects (Pressing buttons,
selecting from lists, entering text into textbox’s etc.)
OCR is the commonly used object recognition in mobile
OCR = Optical character recognition
In a sense it implements the WYSIWYG method
convert images into manageable and searchable text
In mobile it is critical to also use OS Object level analysis
Web objects are critical for web based mobile applications (DOM)

19. DOM Objects in a nutshell
The Document Object Model (DOM) is a cross-platform and
language-independent convention for representing and
interacting with objects in HTML, XHTML and XML documents
Objects in the DOM tree may be addressed and manipulated by
using methods on the objects

20. DOM Object Example
Mozilla FireFox Browser

21. DOM Object Example
HTC One XL Device

22. Mobile Web Objects – Automation Challenges

23. Mobile Web Testing – Key Considerations
Using an Hybrid Objects approach
OCR/Visual Analysis
Real Objects (DOM)
Each Device, Each Network, Each OS Platform behaves different
Preparing a Matrix of right mobile devices (Smartphone and Tablets), right OS platforms and right
automation solution is a key!
Manual testing for interoperability testing is always important and can identify critical bugs
Mobile Performance and Monitoring is a MUST
Application and web site optimization
Cross Browser testing on REAL mobile devices
Mobile Web/HTML5 apps become target for security attacks – Build into your ALM testing
strategy functional security testing
