Different Mobile App Testing Methods

The days are gone when people were thinking about websites to be the best option for business marketing. In the new era, the mobile apps are winning the race over the websites, as mobile phones are the most used device on the earth today.

The people having their own businesses are now understanding the importance of mobile application development as people prefer mobile app than websites for surfing, and business operations. Taking our app forward and making it popular among millions of apps available in the apps store is not an easy task as a large number of mobile apps development companies are coming forward to the market with Android app development and iOS app development etc. 

The only way to develop a good mobile app is having a good development team as well as the error-free testing of an app. The application testing is playing an important role as the development and marketing do, in the success of the app. The companies should try to bring out an efficient and error-free app. And to reach this goal, the strategic testing should be done to overcome the potential error in the early stage of the app development.

There are some stages of testing, in which, the testing during the development and after the development are included.

Types of Mobile App Testing:

Here are the testing methods involved in mobile app testing.

1.    Functional Testing: 

It is the basic testing method performed on the functionality of an application to test whether the app is working fine according to the requirements or not. It is complex, time-consuming and exhaustive if the functional testing is done manually, the better way to do it is an automated way. Automated testing is useful in overcoming the challenges while testing the application on various mobile devices, mobile operating systems, and for various functions.

2.    Performance Testing: 

This testing process is carried out to test the performance of the application on various challenges of mobile devices like low battery power, poor network area or no network coverage area, different internet connection modes (like 2G, 3G, WiFi), less memory etc. 

3.    Memory Leakage Testing: 

Memory leakage directly affects the performance of mobile devices. Mobile devices come with less memory as compared to computer systems. Because of memory leakage, the device can become slow or can get switched off while transferring files or accessing any app. So memory leakage testing plays very important role in mobile application testing to ensure that the app uses the optimum memory of a mobile device so that the app doesn’t affect the performance of the device.

4.    Usability Testing:

 It is focussed on the users, as here it is tested that the app developed is user-friendly or not. In this, the following considerations are tested-
•    Usage of the application is easy or not.
•    The application is easy to understand or not
•    Convenience and user-friendliness of application.

Conclusion:

Above testing methods are for making the app performance better and enhance the user experience. However, these testing methods need a high level of understanding of the field as well as the creative mind, as it is the key to develop an error-free app and get users’ satisfaction.
