Mobile application quality is more complex
© 2013 IBM Corporation 6 #IBMMobile
Mobile quality presents unique needs
Consumerization of Technology is Changing the Definition of Quality
Usability and fit-to-purpose are important aspects of perceived quality
Quality of Experience is defined as “the overall acceptability of an application or service,
as perceived subjectively by the end user.”
Time to Feedback
Mobile engagement requires a lifecycle focus on “time to feedback”
Shorter iterations, and more frequent delivery
Majority of the testing performed by developers
Focus is on reducing time to feedback vs. bug count

Helping the software team get smarter about their mobile apps
Tester End Users Developer LOB/Digital Marketer
“When someone leaves a negative review in the app store, it scars your
app for life, you can’t respond to it, and you can’t learn more about the
problem in order to fix it quickly.”
- Mobile Orchard
• How effective our mobile
app is at engaging
customers?
• How can I stay on top of
current quality metrics, and
turn them into an
actionable strategy?
• How could I get visibility to
issues that customers
experience in production
so that I can address them
quickly?
• How can I get more
people to test the apps so
that we can cover different
devices, network carriers,
and OS versions?
• How can I get the latest
and greatest build without
wasting my time to track
that down?
• How can I quickly submit
bug reports with
screenshots and device
details right from the
application?
• How can I provide
direct and
constructive
feedback?

Over the air app distribution
Developer manages builds
Developer distributes a new build to
in-housed or outsourced testers
Testers update to the new build
when they start up the app or via
notification
Developer can choose to ignore
bug reports or crashes from
obsolete builds
Developer can disable a version on
tester devices
Enables developers to distribute new builds to testers

In app bug reporting
When bugs are identified, tester
simply shakes mobile device to
• Activate bug reporting UI
• Capture screen shots and add
annotation
• Submit bug reports
Bug reports also include environment
meta
• Device maker & model
• OS & version
• Carrier & connection speed
• Battery life & resolution
Enables testers to submit bug reports directly from their phone

Automated crash reporting
IBM MQA captures and aggregates
crashes from pre-production or
production
It captures crash details
• Device maker & model
• OS version
• Carrier & connectivity
• Battery life
• Stack trace
• Log files
It includes a list of sessions that
experienced the same crash and session
details
Enables developers to know when and why crashes occur

Direct user feedback
IBM MQA gathers valuable feedback and
input from your users while they're using
your app
Developers can customize the feedback
workflow
End users can send free-form text
feedback directly to your app managed in
IBM MQA
Enables developers to connect with users

Agile Mobile Development – Integration Scenario with RTC
Rational Team Concert
1. Build mobile app using RTC build engine
2. RTC mobile app build output is uploaded to
MQA
3. OTA new app build distribution to testers
4. Testing under real world conditions
5. In-app crash and bug reporting
6. RTC work items are created from MQA, and
linked to MQA detailed bug reports/crash data
7. Fix most important defects and start new build
