Mobile application testing service is one of the main stages of mobile apps development. The cost of errors in mobile application release is very high. Applications fall into Google Play within a few hours, in the Appstore in a few weeks. It is unknown how much time users will be updated. Errors cause a negative backlash, users leave low ratings and hysterical comments. New users, seeing this, do not install the application.
The process of mobile app testing services is a complex one because there are:
- dozens of different screen resolutions;
- hardware differences;
- multiple versions of operating systems;
- different types of the Internet connections;
- sudden disconnections, etc.
Mobile app testing companies, in order to success in testing and maintain the reputation, must have enough software/mobile app testers because each one would have his/her own responsibilities during the whole testing process.
The Requirements of Mobile App Testing Services
Testing process starts before the development. Design department sends the testers navigation scheme and screen layouts, project manager – requirements visible on the design.
Testers analyze the requirements on completeness and contradictions. In each project, there are initial requirements that contain contradictory information. The same requirements for each project may be incomplete: the lack of secondary layout screens, restrictions on the input field, the error display, buttons that lead nowhere, etc.
Disadvantages of requirements are discussed with the project managers, developers, and designers. After 2-3 iterations, the whole team understands the project much better, remembers the lost functionality, fixes the decisions on controversial issues.
When requirements are complete and consistent, testers design smoke-tests and functional tests, covering the original data.
