Abstract

With the growing number of mobile apps and their agile development life

cycle, Automation testing around them will no longer be optional. The intent of

this paper is to present a comparison between the widely used mobileautomation tools in order to determine their ease of use & eectiveness. We

picked up a typical Adobe mobile app, tested its GUI manually & then followed

it up by a round of automation testing using these tools. This paper list down the

technical nuances involved while choosing any such tool for user specic

scenario.
