ABSTRACT
To ensure the software quality of mobile device, it is essential to build sophisticated testing automation strategy. In this paper, we introduced the idea of constructing a testing framework, elaborated the problems encountered in practice and proposed the solutions accordingly, where several innovative testing methods and tactics were brought forward and discussed in details. Furthermore, the testing framework was used for testing a tailor-made program on mobile phone. Testing result analysis proves that the framework is not only viable and effective on mobile device testing, but also shows that the testing efficiency needs to be improved.
