Mobile cloud testing solutions | Use of
Jailbreak and Rooted devices Analysis and Implications for Mobile
cloud testing
AS we all are know that, Mobile cloud
solution in the markets use rooted and jailbroken devices. We are
often asked about the effects of such and should like to cover this
topic here presenting post.
What is the JailBroken Devices?
What is the Rooted Devices?
The word Jailbreaking for the iOS and
the word rooting for the Android related for breaking the device, OS
security mechanism built by the devices manufacturers to earn
permission to the unintended functionality otherwise inaccessible to
a normal or general user.
Jailbreaking (iOS) or the Rooting
(Android) permits user to earn root access to operating system,
allowing them to implement additional functionalities. Settings and
System applications require to replace. Execute the
specific app that
need administrator – level access and to process the other tweaks
that can not be done by normal user. However it should .be
understood that a rooted or Jailbroken devices carry potential risk
with all. Our devices may behaves strangely, Sometime few obvious
feature on our devices can not work and other complications can
generate. In fact we may lost our warranty and brick our mobile
phone. |

Why Should Jailbroken and Rooted
Devices used for Mobile Cloud Test Solution?
The main motto is that Mobile cloud
test solution Jailbreak (and rooting it for Android) their device is
their requirement to earn the full control over the phone so they can
delete the data that one customer inserted to the phone while
executing available test, before the different customer begins the
execution on tests on the mobile device,
Describe the Functionality
implication of using Jailbroken and rooted device?
The Jailbroken and rooted devices are
not the same devices as a non jailbroken or unrooted devices. The
difference can vary in all types of aspect. Since the hacking using
jailbreak and rooting is not an organize and monitor processes but
rather a pirate user generated attempts to cunningly overcome the
device manufacturer's limitations, the implication of it on the
devices behaviors are of an un-expected nature and can not be easily
predicted. So if a problems identified by the Jailbreak or rooted
devices, We require to try and reconstruct the problems on a non
jailbreak or non rooted devices to make confirm it is a actual
problems and the not something generate by the jailbreak and rooting
processes.
Describe the security implication of
using rooted and jailbreak devices:
To build it easy or simple, a
Jailbroken or the rooted devices are hacked devices where the heart
of the mobile OS – including it security mechanism has been
changed. As a outcome the security of the jailbroken and rooted
device is extremely problematic.
Following questions need to ask to
your cloud provider before using the mobile cloud:
- Can the manager of mobile cloud earn access to our applications and login details?
- Can the another person testing on the same phone earn access to our app or data?
- Is SSH open in the phone? Can a malicious hacker on the internet permission the devices, Application and the data we inserted? The term SSH has been derived from the Secure Shell, Gives the users with a secure, encrypted mechanism for the accessing system tha are supporting remotes connection through the ssh service) services)
How the best use mobile cloud
testing solution can be possible?
How to overcome the security and the
functionality related issues?
Device deployment on the site of
customer can be one of the solution for it. Some mobiles cloud
testing solution offer a deployment of device on the customer site.
Possibly lesser threat to the organizational security of customer
site as the hack device is at least not the connect over public
internet. Instead of it can be physically lock in the room on the
site of customer and the connection of VPN. This as well solve
another major security concern in the current mobile cloud solution
that is the ability of any employee of these mobile clouds company to
see what is happens on the devices, such as what username and
passwords are the inserted in the phone while performing a test
cases. When the mobile clouds is locked inside a customer
organization room at least there is control over who can watch login
detail and the password that are checked on the phones as part of the
automates test cases.
