Simultaneously testing the front-end and back-end on mobile using automated tests can be quite tricky. It can happen that even though the front-end is fine, you still get failed UI tests because of a disconnect or delay on the back-end and this can greatly slow down the testing and, subsequently, development process.

I will talk about a non-standard approach to automated testing development called MockServer-driven testing, where automated tests are developed by creating a mock server, and test coverage directly depends on the server-side coverage.
