I SLICED UP FUN!
> is a simple thinking model for testing mobile application. Each letter Stands for an approach or consideration when testing mobile apps. You can use it to help your brain change your testing perspectives to find important problems quickly.

Mnemonics like this help you quickly organize your thoughts, and take action. You can either use them to get right down to testing, or to help guide your strategy and planning efforts.
I: Inputs into the Device
Example Inputs Gestures
> Touch screen gestures(tap, press, drag, pinch, expand, etc.)
> Typing
> Sensors (Touch/Movement/Light)
> Voice
> Others
S:Store submissions
> Store submission guidelines provide information on what they are looking for when they decided whether to list your app or not. This can include:
* App design and look and feel
* Stability and error handling
* How location services may be implemented
* That you ask permission to use private data, such as the user's home address or current location
* Apps they feel to be objectionable or illegal
L: Location services
> Global positioning
> Using cellular tower location
> Web IP address location
Sensors(Accelerometer, gyroscope/ Magnetometer) 传感器(加速度计、陀螺仪/磁强计)
* Incorporate movement and sensors. Walk briskly and move the device around
* Start and stop many times
* Explore network connection issues:
- move in and out of dead spots
- move from one network to another
* Try it indoors
* Try it outdoors
I: Interruptions and Interactions
* Run multiple applications at the same time
* Switch between apps, return to the one you are testing
* Use another app, then using the app you are testing
* Create conditions to create notifications to interrupt what u r doing
* Create error messages
* Determine how well the app recovers from interruption.
C: Communication Integration
* Take a call while u r using the app, and go back
* Ignore or blow off a call
* Listen to voicemail and return
* Ignore the voicemail notification
* Copy text from the app, and paste it in an SMS message
* Take a screen capture of the app and email it to a colleague
* Work through the app, stop, phone a colleague with a question on how to proceed, and then go back and use the app
E: Ergonomic Considerations
> Watch for usability problems in workflows or app functionality that makes strain worse. If u feel frustrated or even angry when using an app, stop. Take a break, pay attention to your body. Does anything hurt? Do you feel strain? If so, investigate to see if the app is making that worse.
D: Data(Inputs and outputs)
* Test on the move. Try data-related actions while moving the device * Utilize different network types and transitioning between networks
* Have the app process different sizes of files, and repeat your actions several times
