Overview

The International Mobile Testing Qualifications Network (IMTQN) is the global leader in certifying professionals within the specialized domain of mobile application testing. By offering vendor-neutral and cross-platform certifications, IMTQN™ provides a significant competitive advantage to professionals, ensuring they are prepared to meet the rigorous demands of modern corporations. As an international qualification body, IMTQN operates on a standardized, hierarchical syllabus that provides clear guidelines for accreditation and professional growth, making the IMTQN Certified Tester designation the industry benchmark for excellence.

Mobile Application Testing is the essential process of verifying that software developed for handheld devices meets high standards of functionality, usability, and consistency. In an era of phenomenal market growth, where billions of apps are downloaded annually, the stakes for quality are higher than ever. Whether applications come pre-installed or are downloaded from distribution platforms, they must perform flawlessly across an increasingly complex landscape of hardware and software.

Testers today face a dual challenge: a massive variety of mobile devices and a diversity of operating systems. Devices differ significantly in screen sizes, processing power, and input methods (such as touchscreens vs. QWERTY keyboards). Furthermore, the market is fragmented across various platforms, including Android, iOS, Windows, and Blackberry. Because every operating system and hardware configuration carries unique limitations, testing a single application across this spectrum requires the specialized expertise that only a certified professional can provide.

The IMTQN Certified Mobile Application Tester (CMAT) – Foundation Level is designed for those seeking to establish a career in this high-demand field. This certification covers both device testing and software application testing, offering candidates superior career prospects. Whether you are a beginner or a professional looking to validate your expertise, the CMAT program provides the comprehensive knowledge necessary to navigate the technical interview process and secure various positions within the mobile testing industry.

At its core, this testing process involves a rigorous set of activities ranging from troubleshooting content and services on real handsets to monitoring performance under varying conditions. It encompasses both the verification and validation of hardware and software components. By mastering these activities, certified testers ensure that the end product is not only technically sound but also delivers a seamless experience for the end user.

It is crucial to distinguish between these two disciplines, mobile testing is focuses on the hardware and core functionality of the mobile phone itself, including protocol testing, battery life, network connectivity, and hardware-software compatibility. Mobile Application Testing is focuses specifically on the software built for those devices. The objective here is to verify that the specific application meets all functional and non-functional requirements, ensuring a high-quality user experience within the mobile environment.
