Gps is used to know the location and it will continuously update me in regular intervals of time.For this i want to test the accuracy and efficiency of it. — riita, May 09 '13 at 06:54
then install your application on your mobile device and check it on different physical location. — Naveen Chhaniwal, May 09 '13 at 12:34

I am sure your done with smoke testing!, In that case start with Interruption testing.

Keep moving in a place, check the your GPS connectivity.
Travel to remote places where you feel the GPS can't be tracked. Check how your application responds.
Try receiving call while using the Application.
Place an alarm, check how your application responds during alarm work.
Check when your device is about to die, how the application responds. Since you'l be using GPS, chances of u'r battery drain is too high.
Check with Notification. how your application behaves.
Switch off your GPS, see if an appropriate alert is provided.
