Q: If there are any certifications specific to Mobile App Testing? There are few certifications available specifically for “Mobile App Testing”.
They are introduced recently looking at the popularity of Mobile App Testing due explosive growth of Mobile Domain. You can see the complete list of certifications in the post below.
Q: I am a Fresher, Should I do certification in Mobile Testing to get a job?
Certifications do not guarantee job. The practical knowledge is important. The certification syllabus /Training can help you to get basics of this domain. If possible, instead of spending money on Certification, invest that money/time on some useful training in Mobile App Testing where you can get some hands-on experience in testing mobile app. If you are getting certification along with some good training then you can go ahead. However so far I have gone through Syllabus of all the certifications I mentioned in the blog post, they all are very theoretical and even the training oriented for these certifications can just provide you just some guidance to go ahead. The only advantage of certification for Freshers sometimes is, if there are many candidates of the same level, the interviewer may give preference to one who has this certification. OR sometimes you get some extra edge when there are many resumes and recruiters shortlists the CV’S.
Q: I have experience of 10 years in the manual testing of website and desktop, I want to switch to Mobile App Testing. Should I do certification in Mobile Testing to crack the opportunity in the mobile testing domain?
As you already have enough experience in Software Testing, instead of going for certification, you can go for any quick mobile app testing training. Request for small projects from the trainer as practical things like installing the app, installing SDK’s (Software Development Kits for Android iOS etc.), investigating logs, reporting crashes and bugs, testing on real device etc. are small but practical things you should know. Though you pass the certification but if you have not tested any app in real time, it will not make any difference
