FeT: Hybrid Cloud-based Mobile Bank Application Testing

With the rapid development of mobile Internet and Apps engineering, the number of mobile devices boosts a lot during the last decade. Most banks have built up their Apps and provided mobile services for the customers. It is a challenge for banks to develop and distribute new features on these Apps iteratively with good quality, because the release of new devices and platform updates is becoming faster. Therefore, mobile Apps testing also have become more complicated for the banks. In this paper, we present the construction of bank mobile hybrid-cloud for Apps testing, and set up Fit e Test, FeT, a cloud service for Apps testing. Moreover, it divides the cloud into testing zones, and proposes a complete scheme for how to select testing types in different zones of the hybrid-cloud during the Apps development procedure. The research and engineering results speed up the delivery of Apps for our bank. Finally, both experiment results and industrial activities show the effectiveness of proposed scheme and lead us to identify research gaps and challenges to consider in future research endeavors.
