A fact that mobile phones are continuing to make their presence in the world stronger has brought a significant change in the behavioral pattern of the human beings. The wide use of mobile apps has made the work of QA teams tougher because every app that is released into the market has to be thoroughly tested first. The QA teams in all the companies work hard to ensure that these apps are high-performing and defect-free.
In this ever-changing world of technology, ensuring the quality of an app is not an easy feat. An app needs to function across different devices, platforms and networks. Undoubtedly, the challenges for app developers and testers in this era of smartphones and tablets are daunting. A lot of time goes into the rapid development of applications and also for the release of the applications. One important thing which is often ignored is the quality assurance for user experience.
Performance is imperative for the success of any software project. Performance validation is one of the ways to ensure that smartphone application can handle the stress of varying user demands and performs as expected in the real world. Firms are struggling to make validation as an integral part of the Mobile application development process due to the major constraints of time and budget. Whenever any change is made to an application, it needs to be tested as the reliability of the application is very vital.
If the nature of an application is transactional, then there is a need to make sure that the application works all the time and on all devices. What has to be clearly measured is that which components of an application are critical and which components are non-critical. The QA team should be validating critical bugs first for better productivity.
While it is crucial to cover all the testing in all real-world situations, there is no need to test everything. It is very difficult to test every update of every app on every device and on every smartphone platform. So, the firms can rely on testing only the major 10-15 devices that cover the large majority of market. When iterations of testing is performed on these apps and devices, then these apps will be robust enough to function across multiple systems. Cloud-based testing offers cost effective and reliable means of validating smartphone apps as it helps to test on multiple environments which is one of the better option for reducing in-house QA costs.
Another cost-saving measure is performing automated testing as it helps in recording a test and running it as many times as possible to increase test coverage. A Well planned testing stage of an application development life cycle will help in saving the time and the effort spent on fixing bugs.
