My Experience with testing mobile App & Power Usage:
I remember the day when my client had raised a bug that our application is eating too much battery (power) while using it. I was very surprised by this observation and definitely I was assigned to investigate on this issue. When I started my investigation the only thing I had in my mind was how to know that its my application only which is eating too much battery of a device. The only way I had to test it was to use the application rigorously and monitor the battery consumption or draining of battery. However it was not as easy as it was looking. I had to use another application on that device also to see that if that app is also eating battery exhaustively like ours .In short we had to verify that if it was the problem with the device itself. Well the process was lengthy and result could never be accurate. Hence it’s always preferable to use some tools which can give accurate results in less time.
