Mobile users expect their applications to have intuitive interfaces, be easy to use and work flawlessly across various devices. If the expectations are not justified, the user does nothing else but installs a similar application from another developer, fortunately, the market for mobile applications is quite significant. Accordingly, mobile applications meet the highest quality standards.
To understand how mobile app testing companies verify the quality of mobile applications, one should consider the difference between mobile and desktop apps, namely: characteristics of cell phones operating systems, a variety of mobile device development firms and the functional capabilities of mobile devices as means of communication, etc.
Due to these features, approach to mobile app development and mobile app testing, in particular, is different from that to desktop app testing. Many important aspects and requirements need to be tested. Let us learn the main distinctions between some types of testing:
Testing Operating System Upgrades. Owing to frequent OS upgrades (associated with desktop software updates) it is also necessary to update an application. iOS app updating process is to be simple so that to be carried out by a user having no specialized knowledge. One should also try to install a mobile application by using other ways such as wi-fi, 3G, computer, SD.
Usability Testing is one of the most important verification processes because it helps to identify unattractive user interface components of the app or those that cause difficulty in navigating the app or running it on touch screens. By the way, usability testing companies conduct various types of usability testing to detect flaws in software products.
Internationalization Testing allows you to check in the early stages of mobile app development if the app is supporting multiple languages. Mobile app internationalization process is a must-have for companies/organizations that target global customers. It is a simple way to increase considerably target market.
Fuzzy Testing lets you know whether the app works correctly when unexpected or invalid data is provided to its inputs. Using this technique will enable you to find errors in the code and security loopholes in the application.
Load testing is the process through which the mobile app is subjected to performing under various load that level is approximating the limits of its requirements specification.
Providing load testing service, the specialists can identify how your app works under both normal and high load conditions.
