Simulators are powerful tools for developing mobile applications but they cannot completely mimic an actual environment or device but in order to completely test in a feature or app , hardware,network or performance related issue,the testing should be performed in a real devices for covering all issues in real environment or device.

    Mobile Application Challenges

    Testing on actual devices is expensive. Various types of devices with different screen sizes & operating system are required. The number of devices purchased increase with the number of testers. The mobile device market is rapidly changing and evolving, hundreds of new devices are introduced in
    each year.In the PC, we had to support one or two PC operating system versions,one or two browsers, in a relatively stable environment. However,in the mobile market, there are multiple devices & platforms like iPhone, iPad,Tablet, android, window phones & more.Moreover, there are multiple versions of operating systems for each device, so variety of devices, platforms, screen resolutions, memory sizes, and connectivity options pose a great challenge for testers to ensure multi-device, multi-platform compatibility of the app.
