APPLY CHANGES.
IE will convert to language selected and we can test according to requirements and specification.
Q – 4 How android application testing will be done?
Ans-
1. Write testcases as per the application functionality, as the same way you write for any of the software application.
2. Execute them and log a defect
3. Real time examples for mobile application that needs to verify are as below :
– When application is running on the device , you give interuption by call or sms or bluetooth
– When application is running check the CPU useage from the system settings menu
– If application is opening any URL from inside the application itself then check whether it is passing any confidential data
– Check application stability with wi-fi On/Off state
– Check application launch time after the interruption received
Q – 5 Where is the APN stored?
Ans- APN’s are used in establishing packet data connections, most commonly to the Internet over 2G and 3G mobile networks. APN’s can be stored in contexts, which are identified by number, and specify information on how to establish a data session (packet orientation, c.f. circuit switched).

Major:
Unable to funtion or misfunctionality of a particular feature

Q – 9 Explain some conformance testcases of a mobile?
Ans- confermance testcases of a mobile can be refer spec 34.123, for example For RLC/MAC 7.1. to 1.1.2.3 etc
Q – 10 What are the different classes of GPRS? What is the use of this GPRS classes?
Ans- There are three classes:
Class A
Class B
Class c
Class A
Can be connected to GPRS service and GSM service (voice, SMS), using both at the same time. Such devices are known to be available today.
Class B
Can be connected to GPRS service and GSM service (voice, SMS), but using only one or the other at a given time.
During GSM service (voice call or SMS), GPRS service is suspended, and then resumed automatically after the GSM
service (voice call or SMS) has concluded. Most GPRS mobile devices are Class B.
Class C
Are connected to either GPRS service or GSM service (voice, SMS). Must be switched manually between one or the other service.
Q – 11 How to know , which are the bands (850,900,1800,1900) a mobile device supports?
Ans- The genrals bands supported by phone are
UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA devices operate in the UMTS frequency bands 800/850/1900/2100 or 850/1700/1900/2100 MHz:
2100 (downlink) / 1900 (uplink) for Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Asia (including South Korea and
Japan) and Brazil (usually referred simply as UMTS2100) 1900 for North and South America 2100 (downlink) / 1700 (uplink) for T-Mobile USA and others, called AWS Band (usually referred simply as UMTS1700)
900 for Australia (Optus and Vodafone Australia in rural areas) and in the future in countries that currently use GSM900 850 for North and South America, Australia (NextG), New Zealand (Telecom) 800 for Japan (NTT DoCoMo in rural areas) Note that being UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA quad band doesn’t mean that phone is a GSM / GPRS / EDGE quad band. However nearly all HSUPA quad band devices are EDGE quad band too.
Five and Six band phones (800/850/900/1700/1900/2100) are possible but none have been announced.
1st way to find: go to UI settings of BAND SETTING and check the bands avaliable to select which gives the details about the bands supported byy the phone.
2nd way to find: if there is no options to view the band settings then we can connect the phone to the simultor and check if the phone if phone latches to the network at that band.
as there are hardly 10 bands which a phone can support using that we can ckeck the bands supported by the phone with the help of simulator.
3rd way to find: go to QXDM -> static message (there is a hot key for that, but i dont recollect), go to View->and check for static message. There you should be able to check the bands which mobile device supports.
and there are many other ways by which we can check the band settings.
Q – 12 What is the difference between Simulator and Emulator?
Ans- Simulator is the electronic network simulation equipment or a base station equipment for CDMA network/CDMA mobile phones and it is CISCO programmed.It helps in latching home network without roaming services and can make VOICE,SMS,DATA calls especially where there is no roaming facility to test the handset.
The CDMA Frequency like 800/900,1800/1900 which do not support in Asia and Europe,can make them live! with the help of this Simulator, the highest capacity of the simulator depends of the manufacturer of the box, may be up to 2400-MHz.
It has to be configured both in the box as well as in mobile phones. As per the box capacity it can connect only limited count of mobile phones at one network within a range of 10 meters. This was just brief…
Emulator is a software to test mobile application without a live handset.
Q – 13 What is the difference between WAP testing and Web testing?
Ans- WAP Testing:
Is testing the WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) used in network applications.
Web Testing:
Is mainly related to testing the web applications such as portals and websites.
Q – 14 What is the difference between User Agent and Simulator?
Ans- User Agent identifies the mobile internals i.e. Make,Model,Resolution ect.User Agent is mandatory while downloading appropriate contents onto mobile, whereas a simulator is used to test the downloading process using various user agents to check whether a device is recognized and specific content/build is sent through OTA.
Q – 15 Explain what is actual mobile testing and in realtime how this testing happens?
Ans- Mobile Testing:
Now a days,mobile market i s growing with a gr8 speed.So many of the vendors is starting developing the applications which runs on a mobile device.
The ppl in countries like U.S,U.K,Europe are using smart phones which have similar functionality like the PC.If we want to login into Yahoo messenger we should have a PC,but now Yahoo messenger is developed for the mobiles also.So it is very comfortable to the users who wants to use this kind of applications from their place on the mobile device,instead using a PC.
Now how yahoo is working on different mobile phones,n how the UI should be tested by the testers.
