Categories & Use Cases

Benefits of UFT Mobile in Healthcare for testing mobile apps

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

UFT Mobile is our primary tool for testing our mobile application on real devices. Our business users, developers, testers, and automation framework interact with the real devices remotely testing builds for our mobile application. We have an array of iOS and Android devices connected and available for many testing scenarios. The product has allowed us to have real devices easily shared between team members who are in various geographic locations. With various concerns of privacy/data in healthcare, we are still able to manage and control access to the devices.

Pros

  • Management of the various devices.
  • Management of various versions and installation of our application.
  • Allow real device interactions like Biometrics.
  • Simple to use interface for any manual tester.
  • Works in any browser.
  • Easy management of signed/packaged apps in Android and iOS.

Cons

  • Most of our problems are with the lengthy onboarding process with iOS devices.
  • Occasionally Android devices will disconnect themselves.

Most Important Features

  • Remote access
  • Application management / installation
  • Ability to have dedicated devices on premise / shared
  • Easy user management
  • Easy-to use interface

Return on Investment

  • Shared devices that are accessible remotely is HUGE Benefit.
  • (Our own fault) - we are limited to the number of physical devices we own, so at times we have people waiting for access.

Other Software Used

Micro Focus LoadRunner (formerly HP LoadRunner), Micro Focus UFT One (formerly HP UFT), Snagit, Microsoft Visual Studio Code

Add "Mobility" in your mobile testing!!

Pros

  • Remote access to real devices within your organization network as compared to public devices library offering, where their is a risk of exposing pre-production builds outside the organization.
  • "Factory built like" integration with HP ALM, HP Sprinter, HP UFT and HP Network Virtualization.
  • Ability to mimic real world conditions in a controlled environment in the devices of your choice.
  • Removed the guess work out of using emulators
  • Able to extend automation to mobile testing using HP UFT.

Cons

  • I would like to see stability in connection for connected devices in case of network failure, reboots and restarts
  • I would like to see shorter support cycle for patch and updates from OS makers
  • I would like to see a dedicated HPMC support center, where users can call-in and get answers as this a brand new product.

Return on Investment

  • Efficient use of the devices. Reduced the idle time.
  • Better control over access and user management. Testing within our controlled environments.
  • Better control of device matrix.
  • Faster testing cycles. Early design bugs to development teams. Real devices means, less guess work.
