Specialist Software Testing Training
ISTQB Mobile Application Testing Training
Build the specialist skills needed to test mobile applications across different devices, operating systems, networks and real-world conditions.
Our ISTQB Mobile Application Testing (CT-MAT) training takes you beyond traditional software testing and explores the unique challenges of testing mobile apps, from device compatibility and connectivity to usability, performance, security and test automation.
Prepare for your internationally recognised ISTQB CT-MAT certification with specialist instructor-led training from Impimpi Technologies.
Build Mobile Testing Skills
Learn How to Test Mobile Applications in the Real World
Mobile applications operate in an environment where devices, operating systems, screen sizes, sensors, networks and user behaviour can vary dramatically.
An application may work perfectly on one device but fail on another. A user might switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data, rotate their screen, receive a notification, lose connectivity or deny a permission, all while your application is running.
The ISTQB Mobile Application Testing course teaches you how to identify these mobile-specific risks and design more effective test strategies for native, web and hybrid mobile applications.
You’ll learn how to test across different devices and platforms while considering compatibility, connectivity, usability, performance, security, accessibility and the realities of mobile application use.
About the course
What is ISTQB Mobile Application Testing?
The ISTQB Certified Tester Mobile Application Testing (CT-MAT) certification is a specialist qualification designed for professionals involved in testing mobile applications.
It builds on your core software testing knowledge and applies established testing principles to the unique challenges of the mobile environment.
The course explores mobile business and technology drivers, device and application compatibility, mobile-specific test types, test environments, tools and automation.
The official certification focuses on developing the ability to identify mobile-specific challenges and risks, apply appropriate test types and levels, select suitable environments and tools, and understand approaches to mobile test automation.

What Does the ISTQB Mobile Application Testing Course Cover?
The course follows the official ISTQB Mobile Application Testing syllabus and combines established software testing practices with the challenges that make mobile testing different.
Mobile World – Business & Technology Drivers
Understand the mobile ecosystem and how factors such as devices, platforms, operating systems, market share and user behaviour influence your testing strategy.
You’ll explore mobile analytics, different device and application types, mobile application architectures and the risks and challenges involved in supporting a rapidly changing mobile market.
The syllabus specifically covers mobile analytics, business models, device types, application types, architecture, mobile test strategy, testing challenges and risk mitigation.
Mobile Application Test Types
Learn how to test applications across the wide range of hardware, software and connectivity conditions found on mobile devices.
You’ll explore screen sizes and resolutions, orientation changes, sensors, permissions, battery usage, notifications, operating system settings and interactions with other applications.
You’ll also learn how to test connectivity across networks, Wi-Fi, cellular data, Bluetooth and changing connection conditions.
Common Test Types & the Mobile Test Process
Apply familiar software testing disciplines within a mobile context.
You’ll explore installability, performance, stress, security, usability, database, localisation and accessibility testing, as well as field testing and application-store considerations.
The course also introduces mobile-focused exploratory testing using techniques such as personas, heuristics, tours and session-based test management.
Mobile Application Platforms, Tools & Environments
Understand how to create an effective environment for mobile application testing.
Learn about mobile development platforms, testing tools, physical devices, emulators and simulators, and how these options can be combined when establishing a mobile test lab.
You’ll learn how to make practical decisions about your test environment based on coverage, cost, risk and the characteristics of the application being tested. The official syllabus specifically covers development platforms, development tools, emulators, simulators and test-lab setup.
Automating Mobile Test Execution
Explore how test automation can support faster and more consistent mobile application testing.
You’ll learn about mobile automation approaches and methods, considerations when evaluating automation tools and different approaches to setting up an automation test lab.
The goal isn’t simply to automate more tests, it is to understand where mobile test automation adds value and how to select an approach suited to your application, platforms and testing objectives.
