The answer is both are interrelated up to certain extent but not really the same.
What is Mobile (Device)Testing ?
What is Mobile Application Testing ???
In short when we say Mobile Testing ,It is the Testing of the Mobile handsets for its features.
When we talk about Mobile Application Testing ,it is the testing of the application or game which we are targeting for any handset.
Before starting testing any mobile applications (let it be .chatting tools, social networking, games, business apps) there are some things that a Mobile Application Tester should go through for effective testing.

Windows mobile is a wide-spread operating system for mobile devices developed by Microsoft. The system is used in end-user smart phones and in business mobile devices for management of data on the work floor.
CRM (Custom Relation Management) related applications, stock management, fleet management are examples of business applications that are used on Windows Mobile devices
Windows Mobile extends the familiarity of the Windows desktop to Windows Mobile devices. Windows Mobile is based on Windows Embedded CE and supports the .NET Compact Framework.
Jamo Solutions provides tools that automate the testing effort for mobile applications running on the Windows Mobile platform. A mobile application needs to be tested and verified before going live. Today tests that include the user interface of the mobile application are most of the time executed manual. With the technology of Jamo Solutions, these test cases can be automated.
The tool “M-eux Test’ is a test automation environment that ensures:
• The re-use of test cases on different hardware platforms. Today Windows Mobile devices are available from different manufacturers. Form a specific manufacturer, you can have different models. All these windows mobile devices run the same operating system but have different hardware characteristics like screen resolution and keys. The scripts of M-eux test are hardware independent. Once implemented, a script can be re-used across different models.
• The re-use of test cases across different version of the application under test. The scripts made by M-eux Test can easily be re-used to ensure that existing functionality is still working in new versions of the application under test. This is called regression testing.
• Easy creation and maintenance of the test scripts. The technology applied by Jamo Solutions is easy to use, the scripts are readable and easy to maintain and the expertise gained by the usage of M-eux Test can be re-applied for testing applications on other platforms.
• Testing through the user interface of the applications. Just like a manual tester will describe his test cases by using the user interface elements, the automated test script is verifying and driving the user interface elements of the mobile application under test. By recognizing the user interface elements, the script becomes hardware independent. If a new version of the application under test is released, then preserved functionality can be tested with the old scripts. The tool will take care of cosmetic changes like a menu item that is now in a new position. By using the user interface elements, the script becomes also readable for a non-technical tester and the script is easy to maintain. More information can be found in our solution description.
• Extension of existing scripting environments. M-eux Test did not implement its own scripting environment. In order to ensure a fast learning curve and to ensure re-use of gained expertise, M-eux is an extension of existing scripting environments. For users with a test engineering background, M-eux Test extends the leading test automation tool QuickTest Professional from Hewlett Packard. For users with a developer’s background, M-eux Test extends Visual Studio from Microsoft.
M-eux Test is an all-round player and recognizes most of the user interface objects of Windows Mobile applications if these objects are developed following the Microsoft guide lines:
• M-eux Test recognizes all user interface objects that are created following the Windows Mobile standards. All Microsoft Foundation Class objects are supported and special support is written for pre-defined applications like the agenda and the contact application.
• M-eux Test can be configured to deal with user defined objects that are derived from the Microsoft standard objects.
• Special support is foreseen for .Net Compact Framework customized objects.
• M-eux recognizes the html user interface of web-based applications rendered by the mobile version of Internet Explorer.
This makes that out-of-the-box M-eux Test supports most of the Windows Mobile applications.
In case of .Net Compact Framework applications, Run-on-Device supports also access from the test script to the business objects inside the application under test.
M-eux Test and Run-on-Device have also functionality to verify the contents of the mobile SQL database running on the Windows Mobile device.
Special functions are implemented to verify the Windows Mobile operating system. The tester can at any time verify for example:
• The number of processes running.
• The loaded DLL’s inside one process
• The memory consumption
• The memory card space consumption
• The battery status
The tester can fill automatically the working memory or the space on the memory cards in order to verify if his application can run in extreme conditions.
Special functions are foreseen to launch and verify the mobile communications:
• Data communication
• Phone calls
• SMS messages
• E-mail messages
• MMS messages
