Comparative analysis for performance measurements of software testing between mobile applications and web applications

Software testing has an important role in software engineering, and is fundamental to Software Quality Assurance (SQA). Besides the popularity of web applications, mobile applications have gained paralleled advancement despite increasing complexity. On one hand, this issue reflects the rising concer...

Performance measurements Hits per Second, Throughput and Memory Utilization for each case study were evaluated by execution of test cases that were generated by using HP LoadRunner 12.02 tool.

Based on the comparison analysis for software testing of mobile applications versus web applications that was the web applications were lesser than mobile applications for software testing of four case studies in terms each of the Hits per Second, Throughput and Memory Utilization. Consequently, mobile applications need more attention in the testing process. 2015-07 Thesis http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/1508/ http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/1508/2/ZAINAB%20HASSAN%20MUHAMAD%20COPYRIGHT%20DECLARATION.pdf text en staffonly http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/1508/1/24p%20ZAINAB%20HASSAN%20MUHAMAD.pdf text en public http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/1508/3/ZAINAB%20HASSAN%20MUHAMAD%20WATERMARK.pdf text en validuser mphil masters Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology
