Create AVD virtual device using Android studio and install APK

 How to Create New AVD (Virtual Device) In Emulator in Android Studio and Install Apk

We start AVD in Emulator to test our Android App. AVD Manager is basically a tool that you can use to create and manage AVD (Android Virtual Devices) for the Android Emulator. It is also called Emulator.

1. OPEN Android Studio Select Tools -> Android -> AVD Manager -> Click the AVD Manager icon in the toolbar. You can also open AVD Manager directly by clicking the AVD icon in the Toolbar.
2. Android Virtual Device Manager will be opened. After that Click on Create Virtual Device.
3. After that choose the Category, phone size and choose the pixels according to your requirement. After this click on the Next button.
4. After that choose the SDK Version and Click on the Next button. If you have various SDK Versions like 11, 12 and 10 etc in your SDK then you can select one of them. 
5. Enter the AVD Name in Android Virtual Device and click on the Finish button. Here you can do customization to AVD which you are creating as per your requirement.Click Finish and a new AVD will be created.
6. Now again open AVD manager and you will see your newly created AVD (Android Virtual Device) is added to the list.Click to Start the Virtual Device green play button
7. After that, your AVD will start in Emulator. Now you can run your App in this AVD.
   Drag and drop the app from System to Simulator to install it.

Have you ever wondered what Mobile Application Testing looks like? Or how Mobile applications are being created and tested?

In this talk, Saif will be spilling some beans in and around these topics to our fellow Quality Engineers to apply this knowledge in the "$157 Billion App Store Consumer Spending" market as per "Tech Crunch"

Today mobile phones have evolved from simple communication devices to a gadget that can basically do everything. Whether it be ordering food, booking a cab service, or simply looking for directions, it can all be done using a mobile phone. This is only possible due to the wonderful world of mobile applications. In this meetup, we will be discussing the testing process of such applications.

5 Incredible handy key points while testing "Mobile Application"

When it comes to Mobile Application Testing most of the QA's aren't aware where to start from.They just jump straight into the application and start functional testing.But wait there are much more to do before we start exploring bugs.

Improving Mobile Application Testing Process & Coverage!HOW?

How to figure it out that application has been tested at it's best and certain guideline has been followed and nothing is missed:-

1. Use mnemonics like- I Sliced Up Fun, Long Fun CUP and Cop Flung Gun.
2. To visually organize information for mobile Application use Mind Map's like -Ministry of Testing and Test Insane.

Here are 5 key points to be kept in mind that we should know before we are ready to move the application in UAT

1. Picking Application from background-Is your App smart enough to judge itself what to do when we are picking them up from the background of the "OS".Yes, a badly coded app doesn't behave well when we launch them from the background and they start hanging the device's/Application altogether.
2. Screen Orientation-Most of the app which does not support screen orientation are likely to Crash or have a memory leak when we are we are using them in the orientation they do not support either portrait or Landscape.
3. Touch Gesture-iOS or Android if the application is supporting multiple touch gesture where only one event can be fired at a particular instance the application is going to crash.
4. Performance-Performance of the application with respect to your competitor is a must check.Is it having better UI, Performance or Usability.
5. Network Testing-The application on flight mode or no network mode is definitely going to give Dev's some hiccups.Be sure that proper validation is available in every negative instance/steps or scenarios.

Moreover, the tester should keep in my that the application should not crash even in the corner scenarios because a single situation of the application getting crash will make you lose multiple lovely users.

In the end, would like to Quote “It’s more about good enough than it is about right or wrong.” – James Bach So just go and make your mobile application good enough.
