Client-Side Architecture: Thin vs. Fat Clients

Architectural decisions about where application code resides, like whether it's mostly on the device or server. Thin clients are simpler, use web browsers, and have less code on the device, while fat clients are usually native apps with more complex code on the device.

Server-Side Architecture: Single vs. Multi-Tier

Architectural decisions about how servers are organized. Single-tier structures put all servers on one machine, while multi-tier architectures spread them out for better scalability and security. Multi-tier can have two tiers (web and database servers) or three tiers (web, app, and database servers).

Study Notes

Mobile World - Business and Technology Drivers

  • Mobile analytics data can be used to inform test strategy and plan. Data sources (geography, platform, OS version, device type distribution) help select and prioritize device types for testing.
  • Different business models exist for mobile applications, including freemium, advertisement-based, transaction-based, fee-based, and enterprise applications. In-app purchases can be combined with some models.
  • Common mobile device types include basic phones, feature phones, smartphones, tablets, and companion devices (e.g., wearables, IoT).
  • Mobile applications are categorized as native, browser-based, or hybrid. Native apps use platform-specific SDKs, and browser-based apps use web technologies; hybrid apps combine both.
  • Mobile application architecture can be client-side (thin/fat client) or server-side (single/multi-tier). Connection types include Wi-Fi, cellular data, NFC, and Bluetooth. Data synchronization methods can be store-and-forward, push, pull, synchronous, and asynchronous.
  • Risks in mobile application testing include device proliferation, business model suitability, device variety, availability of devices, new technologies and platforms, installation/upgrade processes, network coverage, device-specific testing requirements, and various app types and user groups.
  • Mitigation strategies for mobile application testing concern device selection, platform selection (limiting testing to major platforms), technology support, leveraging remote device access or crowd testing, and suitable testing methodologies.
