2. Abstract
The phenomenal growth of mobile devices cannot be left unnoticed by any Organization, intending to grow. Increasingly Organizations, wanting to increase the reach of their Applications.
This paper will explain below key points which will be useful for industry to obtain the right tool to conduct performance testing and monitoring for different mobile OS and devices also the typical challenges
KPIs to be considered for mobile performance testing.
Different tools for android and IOS mobile testing.
Setting up cost effective lab for mobile performance testing.
Monitoring tools to get the statistics to identify the tailbacks.

3. Challenges in Mobile Testing

4. KPI’s For Mobile performance testing
App crash
API latency
App load per period
Application time running without connection to permanent power (battery) (App + device + OS)
Frequency of connections to server (every 5, 10, 30 minutes)
Number of bytes needed for App data packet to server.
Storage capacity for app data.

5. Real Device Testing Emulators
Testing on real device allows you to run your mobile applications and checks its functionality. Real device testing assures you that your application will work smoothly in customer handsets.
Emulators
Emulator is a software program that allows your mobile to imitate the features of another computer or mobile software you want them to imitate by installing them to your computer or Mobile.
