How Does Mobile Testing Work? Techniques for Device App Testing

Mobile devices have become an essential part of our lives in today's fast-paced digital environment. Mobile apps have transformed the way we interact with technology, from shopping to banking and entertainment. However, as people rely more on mobile apps, guaranteeing their security and usefulness has become critical. This is where mobile testing may help. In this blog, we will look at how mobile testing works and the strategies used to ensure the security and dependability of mobile apps, with a particular emphasis on Amazon SP-API.

Understanding Mobile Testing: Mobile testing is a comprehensive process that evaluates the performance, security, and functionality of mobile applications across various devices and operating systems. It aims to identify and rectify potential issues and vulnerabilities that could compromise user experience or data security.

Techniques for Device App Testing:

1. Strong Authentication and Authorization: One of the fundamental aspects of mobile testing is evaluating the strength of authentication and authorization mechanisms within the app. Strong authentication ensures that only legitimate users can access the app's functionalities, while robust authorization controls define the level of access granted to different users. The effectiveness of login credentials, multi-factor authentication, and role-based access restrictions in preventing unauthorized access and protecting sensitive data is evaluated by testers.

2. Robust Data Encryption: Mobile testing includes evaluating data encryption techniques employed by the app to safeguard information during transmission and storage. Even if intercepted by unauthorised outsiders, strong encryption ensures that sensitive data remains unreadable and secure. Testers verify the implementation of secure communication protocols like SSL/TLS and the adherence to industry-standard encryption practices.

3. Enhanced User Access Control: User access control is crucial in mobile apps to prevent unauthorized users from tampering with critical settings or configurations. Testers assess the app's ability to differentiate between regular users and administrators and evaluate the restrictions placed on each role. This ensures that the app maintains its integrity and prevents potential security breaches.

Labels shape our perception of the world. We usually prefer to know the names of objects, people, and places we interact with or even more - what brand of a particular product we are going to purchase reference and the response of others give about quality. The device is equipped with image recognition can automatically detect the labels. An image recognition application software for smartphones is just a tool to capture and detect the name of digital photos and video.

Also, Read: virtual reality Application Development  

By developing highly accurate, controllable, and flexible image recognition algorithms, it is now possible to identify the images, text, video, and objects. Let's find out what it is, how it works, how to create an image recognition application, and what technology is used when doing so.

What image recognition in artificial intelligence?

AI-based systems have also begun to computers outperform trained on a less detailed knowledge of the subject.

AI image recognition is often considered a single term is discussed in the context of computer vision, machine learning as part of artificial intelligence, and signal processing. To put it in a nutshell, the recognition of a particular image of three. So, basically, the image recognition software may not be used synonymously for signal processing, but can definitely be considered as part of a large domain of AI and computer vision. Let's take a closer look at what each of the four concepts mean.

image recognition in Artificial Intelligence

Also, Read virtual reality Application Development

image recognition. With the image into the main input and output elements, image recognition is designed to understand the visual representation of a particular image. In other words, the software is trained to extract a lot of useful information and perform an important role to provide answers to questions such as the picture. This is how the term recognition image is usually understood.

signal processing. can input not only images but also a variety of signals such as voice and biological measurements. This is a useful signal when it comes to speech recognition as well as for a variety of applications such as face detection. SP is a wider field than the image identification technology and mixed with profound learning, it is able to discover patterns and relationships that, until now, were not observed.

computer vision. This is a whole related disciplines by building artificial systems that receive information from input sources such as images, video, or data hyperspectral more multi-dimensional. The process involves a computer vision techniques such as face detection, segmentation, tracking, pose estimation, localization and mapping, and object recognition. These data are processed by the application programming interface (API), which will be discussed later in the article.

Also, Read: virtual reality Application Development  

Machine learning. This is a general term for all of the above concepts. ML includes image recognition, signal processing, and computer vision. Moreover, it is quite a common framework in terms of input and output - it takes any sign of input return information quantitatively or qualitatively, signals, images or video as output. This diversity of requests and responses is enabled through the use of a large and complex ensemble of general machine learning algorithms.

How the image recognition software work

Image detection is done by using two different methods. This method is referred to as a neural network method.

In supervised learning, the process used to determine whether a particular image in a particular category, and then compared with those in the categories that have been detected. In unsupervised learning, the process used to determine whether the images in a category by itself. complex neural network computational methods designed to enable the classification and tracking of images.

Also, Read: virtual reality Application Development  

What you should know is that the image recognition application software most likely will use a combination of supervised and unsupervised algorithms.

Classification method (also called supervised learning) using machine-learning algorithms to estimate the features in the picture called essential characteristics. It then uses this feature to make predictions about whether an image may be of interest to a particular user. A machine learning algorithm will be able to tell whether an image contains an important feature for the user.

Metadata classify the images and extract information such as size, color, format, and the format of the border. Figure categorized in different tags, called class information, and each tag associated with the image. This information is used by the class recognition engines to understand the "meaning" of the image.

The data used to identify the image, for example: "cute baby" or "pictures of dogs", should be labeled to be useful. This requires the data to be analyzed using information extraction techniques such as classification or translation.

Thus, the pattern recognition in image processing is a multi-step process that includes:

Detection of the original image

Analysis and classification of data

reinforcement learning

AI training process

Monitoring and twisting of the training process

How to choose an image recognition API?

Another important component to keep in mind when aiming to create an image recognition application is API. Various APIs computer vision has been developed since the beginning of AI and ML revolution. Image recognition API to take advantage of the latest technological advances and provide recognition applications your photo image matching the power to offer better and more powerful features. Thus, the service hosts available APIs to integrate with existing applications or used to build a particular feature or an entire business.

Not every company has sufficient resources to invest in building out the entire engineering team of computer vision. So, the following is a list of image recognition API that you need to pay attention to if you want some solutions off-the-shelf open source to make your life easier:

API Google Cloud Vision. Google Cloud Vision API allows you to upload images or create custom datasets for image recognition. It helps you look for patterns of known human and produce an image of them. It is available on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You can integrate it with some image processing projects, as well as in your own application.

Amazon Rekognition. One of the best ways to perform image recognition is to use Amazon's system. Amazon Rekognition offers diversity API that allows you to train your own visual recognition engine and image segmentation & Video detect and analyze objects, faces, or explicit content, recognize faces or the faces of celebrities and much more.

IBM Watson Visual Recognition. Watson Visual Recognition of services on the IBM Cloud is suitable for many applications because it allows users to have flexibility in the use of the API. pre-trained models provided by the Visual Recognition service can be used to build applications that have the potential to perform in many settings. The model is then trained to detect certain classes of objects.

 Also Read: Virtual reality App Developers  

API Microsoft Computer Vision. This image recognition software is an integral part of the Cognitive Azure Services. This makes it possible to identify and analyze the content in the image. Additionally, use it, you can try to train the computer vision you to recognize the faces and emotions of society. It is easy to introduce Computer Vision services to your application - just add an API call.

 Also Read: Virtual reality App Developers  

API Clarifai. It is one of the best image search services. Community offers (with a free API key), Essential, and Enterprise plan to choose from. One can use either off-the-shelf image recognition models or build a model of their own custom trained. A ready-made model can detect faces, colors, clothing, identify foods, and other things. It is significantly faster than other search engines because it uses inference rather than directly finding.

Getting Started with Microsoft Azure – by the SAP HANA Academy

Introduction   Recently, we have recorded a number of new videos for the SAP HANA Academy to help you get started with SAP HANA on the Microsoft Azure public cloud environment. The full playlist can be accessed here: * Getting Started with SAP HANA on Microsoft Azure   This blog will be part of a series: * Getting Started with Microsoft Azure (this blog)   In this blog, I will provide some references and background information for the first four videos in the series.   SAP HANA Academy – Getting Started with SAP HANA on Azure (YouTube Playlist)   Marketplaces All cloud providers offer some sort of marketplace with solutions, that is, a virtual machine template with software pre-installed and post-configured. Typically, these solutions will save you a lot of time. For cloud-based hosting of SAP HANA, marketplace solutions are available for * Google Cloud Platform (GCP: see Getting Started with Google Cloud Platform) * Amazon AWS * Microsoft Azure SAP also provides such a marketplace and it’s called the SAP Cloud Appliance Library (CAL). Using CAL is very easy. Last year, I posted a blog about Running SAP HANA Express in CAL where this is demonstrated.  At the time, SAP HANA, express edition was just released and I used AWS as the cloud provider. Today, we can also – and just as easily – use Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure as providers. Support for Azure dates back to 2014. Support for GCP was added just recently. Obviously, you are not limited to running a 32 GB express edition in the cloud. For example, on Azure, Microsoft offers units that have up to 960 CPUs and 20 TB memory – see SAP HANA (Large Instances) overview and architecture on Azure. Before we get into that, let’s first focus on the SAP HANA, express edition solution from CAL. As each cloud provider implements virtual machine deployment, network security groups (firewall), and disk provisioning slightly different, this also adds a bit of complexity if you have to manage and work in all these cloud provider environments. SAP CAL takes care of this complexity and makes all the necessary API calls to provision your HANA system as both required and desired. For more information, see * SAP on Azure * SAP HANA on Azure * SAP HANA, express edition – SAP Developer Center * SAP Cloud Appliance Library   1. Create Azure Account in CAL In the first video, we create a CAL account for Microsoft Azure as a cloud provider. Again, very easy. All you need to do is link your Azure subscription using a Wizard. Takes a minute, if that. Microsoft currently offers free Azure trial accounts (with a $200 credit) * Create a free Azure account   Microsoft Azure > Subscriptions SAP Cloud Appliance Library > Accounts     Video Tutorial: Getting Started with SAP HANA on Azure: Create Account [2.0 SPS 02] URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_lubRiGKiw   2. Create Instance In next video tutorial, we show you how you can create an instance of the SAP HANA, express edition solution in CAL with Microsoft Azure as the cloud provider account. Initially, this has very little to do with Azure as the steps will be exactly the same when using the Google Cloud Platform or AWS. However, once the instance has been created, we switch to the Microsoft Azure Dashboard to view what resources have been added as a result and how they can be configured. In particular, we will focus on the Network Security Group (Access Points in CAL), which defines the firewall configuration for our instance.   Microsoft Azure > All resources   Microsoft Azure > Network Security Group   Video Tutorial: Getting Started with SAP HANA on Azure: Create Instance [2.0 SPS 02] URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XcxWleXypw   3. Access Points (Firewall)   In the third video, we zoom in on those access points and discuss the security aspects and default port assignment in SAP HANA with the express edition as an example but it would be similar for any other SAP HANA edition. Some of the access points discussed include * TCP 22 for SSH (Windows PowerShell) * TCP 1128/29 for SAP host agent * TCP 313/14 for the SAP Start Service * TCP 330 for SAP HANA XS Advanced model * TCP 43/80 for SAP HANA XS Classic model   The great number of ports opened for SAP HANA XS may come as an (unpleasant) surprise. Using hostname-based routing, only a single port would be opened so this will depend upon how XS is setup.

SAP HANA, express edition on Azure Marketplace Using SAP’s CAL to create an instance is easy because a lot of configuration options (read complexity) have been left out. However, there may be times when you need to do some fine-tuning. For this, you would have to switch to your Azure portal. Also, using CAL is not for free and maybe you are fluent in Azure and have no business in AWS or GCP.  In this case, using the solutions on the Azure Marketplace directly will make more sense. For the fine print about using CAL, see the FAQ on * SAP Cloud Appliance Library Community   In this fourth video, we create – once again – an SAP HANA, express edition instance, this time using the solution in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. It is not exactly rocket science, yet. In fact, it is a 4-step wizard approach (this is Microsoft, after all) * Provide the basics: solution (VM) name, username, password (or key), and resource group * Accept the recommended virtual machine size (or adjust as desired) * Configure optional features (or not) * Agree with terms of use (if you agree, of course) However, at each step, you will have a range of options to fine-tune your instance, providing much more control as compared to using SAP CAL.   For the step-by-step tutorial by Lucia Subatin on SAP Developer Community, see * SAP HANA, express edition – Getting started with the Marketplace on Microsoft Azure   Microsoft Azure Marketplace > SAP HANA, express edition Microsoft Azure Marketplace > SAP HANA, express edition > Step 2.

Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Review

Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Review

(No Ratings Yet) Loading...

Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Review. Hot on the heels of our Amazon Machine Learning Review, we decided to do a review and compare against Microsoft Azure’s offering of Machine Learning services on the cloud. In short, we find Microsoft Azure Machine Learning services quite amazing and liked it better than Amazon’s Machine Learning services.

Free Trial Access

Nothing beats free trial access to test drive the system the system for free. Woo hoo! Free $200 credits remaining. I am beginning to sing “…This used to be my playground. This used to be my childhood dreams…”

Production Pricing

But we have to get real and check the real production pricing which can be found at Azure Machine Learning Pricing and copied below. The pricing model is unique. Base fee is low and hourly experiment fee is also low. I guess the bulk of the cost would show up if one publishes the API for production use and there is substantial transactional load on those API calls.

Azure Marketplace vs Machine Learning Studio

First thing I had to realize was how rich the Azure Machine Learning offerings were. There are pre-packaged working AI models available in the Azure MarketPlace For Machine Learning and there is Azure Machine Learning Studio where one can configure Machine Learning models using graphical interfaces. These are very different toolsets for different use cases.

Azure Marketplace

For example Azure MarketPlace has  packaged services like the following, some of which might have been built using Azure Machine Learning Studio and many many more.

Customer Churn Prediction

Customer Churn Prediction is a churn analytics service built with Azure Machine Learning. It’s designed to predict the likelyhood of a customer (player, subscriber, user, etc.) ending his or her relationship with a company or service.

Text Analytics

Text Analytics API is a suite of text analytics services built with Azure Machine Learning. Just bring your unstructured text (English only), and use this API to perform sentiment analysis and key phrase extraction.

Recommendations

Recommendations API by Azure Machine Learning helps your customer discover items in your catalog. Customer activity on your website is used to recommend items and to improve conversion in your digital or physical store.

Frequently Bought Together

Frequently Bought Together is a market basket analysis API built with Azure Machine Learning. It helps your customers discover items in your catalog that are frequently purchased together. Use your purchase history to add recommendations to your website.

Binary Classifier API

Binary Classifier API is an example built with Microsoft Azure Machine Learning that fits a logistic regression model to user inputted data and outputs the predicted value for each of the observations in the data. Suppose you have a dataset and would like to predict a binary dependent variable based on the independent variables. ‘Logistic Regression’ is a popular statistical technique used for such predictions.

You can subscribe to a service in the marketplace and try to use it. For example, here we try the text analysis service.

It was very simple to set up. However, I was wondering why the supported languages didn’t include usual internet languages like Python and Ruby.

Experiment with Text Analytics

We went ahead and tried exploring the text analytics API in the browser without code.

We took some text from a Marketwatch article:

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/sp-pullback-may-be-investors-last-chance-2015-04-13

1.

Text 1: As much as the market rallied this past week, we still have not seen dissipation of the bearishness in the financial media. Most seem way too focused on corporate earnings, and believe that will be the next shoe to drop, and cause the market to drop.

Key phrases identified were: “bearishness”,”financial media”,”market”,”past week”,”corporate earnings”,”dissipation”,”shoe”

Sentiment score was: 0.287 (I believe where 0 is very negative sentiment is 1 is very positive sentiment)

2.

Text 2: The upcoming week should provide us with the answer to the question I posed in the title of this update. Keep in mind we have been looking at the last month as a consolidation setting us up for a strong rally toward 2200 in the S&P 500 and 132-136 in the IWM. So, if next week does not provide us with weakness in the equity market, and we take out the all-time highs, we are clearly heading much higher, and toward our long-time targets much sooner than later. But should the market be so kind as to provide us with one more pullback or even one more low toward 2021ES, it will likely be your last opportunity to enter for this next rally to 2182ES/2189SPX and 132-136 in the IWM.

Key phrases identified were:  “strong rally”,”weakness”,”long-time targets”,”title”,”equity market”,”us”,”question”,”time highs”,”consolidation”,”answer”,”kind”,”upcoming week”,”SPX”,”update”,”pullback”,”month”,”opportunity”,”mind”,”IWM”

Sentiment score was: 0.99 (I wonder why the score was so high?)

3.

Text 3: Oh no. The world is coming to a sad end.

Sentiment score was: 0.00 (Ok, this makes sense)

4.

Text 4: Oh yes. The world is a beautiful place.

Sentiment score was: 0.88 (This makes sense too)

5.

Text 5: Oh no. The world is a beautiful place.

Sentiment score was: 0.55 (Now, I am just fooling around and confusing everyone)

Overall, the Text Analytics service performed as I expected and is slightly better than other Text Analytics engines I have tried.

Azure Machine Learning Studio

Now, Azure Machine Learning Studio is what makes the whole experience rock. The graphical user interface is powerful and yet amazingly simple and intuitive to use. First you create a workspace like following

You can find plenty of documentations at:

http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/services/machine-learning/

http://blogs.technet.com/b/machinelearning/

http://blogs.technet.com/b/machinelearning/archive/2015/04/09/exciting-new-templates-in-azure-ml.aspx

What is amazing is the array of samples and templates you can use for experiments eg binary classification, regression, credit risk anomaly detection, customer relationship prediction, flight delay prediction, prediction of student performance, twitter sentiment analysis, recognition of hand-writing, neural networks, online fraud detection, movie and production recommendations, time series forecasting etc.

You can see the full listing at the Machine Learning Gallery http://gallery.azureml.net/

Compared to the narrow set of possibilities at Amazon, this is where Azure really shines. Now I am wondering why I discovered Azure Machine Learning so late. Was it because I overlooked it in favour of open-source source libraries or typically open-source friendly vendors like Amazon and neglected to see how powerful Microsoft platforms can be?

Amazing UI in Azure Machine Learning Studio

The graphical UI in the Machine Learning Studio is wonderful to say the least. Feels like a sophisticated thick client but all in my Chrome Browser with animation, graphical flow charts to help you understand a complicated process.

I decided not to go easy on Azure and tried stress testing by running multiple concurrent model evaluations.

It does take quite a while to run some of the models. Filter Based Feature Selection was stuck for over 30 minutes for the Binary Classification of Twitter sentiment. The other experiments each only took about 5-10 minutes to complete which was acceptable.

The simple ability to share your results (eg on Twitter) is a nice friendly aspect great for their marketing too.

Conclusion

We have tried many machine learning platforms before from the powerful open-source ones like Python Sklearn, Mahout to open-source commercial ones like 0xData, Prediction.IO to large vendor on the cloud ones like Amazon Machine Learning and now Microsoft Azure.

In terms of being able to write code in however way you like and integrate easily into your code, Python Sklearn is probably still the most flexible but comes with a medium learning curve and only for developers. But if you want a Machine Learning service on the cloud for beginners to experts to even business users, with a powerful and intuitive user interface at a decent cost, I think Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio and Marketplace clearly outshines all other Machine Learning solutions on the cloud.
