Testing requirements for mobile applications

Wireless networks have contributed to the technological advance that popularized the use of mobile devices, and fostered the development of applications targeted to these devices. However, issues such as mobility and communication intermittency, as well as processing, storage and battery constraints demand changes in the traditional software testing process. This paper aims to present testing requirements that are specific to applications developed for mobile devices. We also show that these requirements can improve productivity and efficacy in the testing process of an application.
