Mobile App Testing

Mobile applications continue to be at the heart of every company’s digital strategy and presence, regardless of its size or niche. We at DigitalDyna, with our expert mobile testing services, assist you in ensuring that your mobile apps operate and produce at their best across a wide range of platforms, devices, and networks.

Important Points in Mobile App Testing

  • Functional Testing: The application’s functional behaviour is tested during functional testing. It will check that the application is operating in accordance with the specifications. Testing mostly focuses on the application’s user interface and call flows. Mobile apps, like other UI applications, need a great deal of human attention. It will be incredibly difficult to undertake functional testing on mobile devices manually. Due to several mobile-specific obstacles such as diverse mobile devices, mobile operating systems, and functions & apps involved with mobile devices, this process is not only hard, but also intensive and time-consuming. The process of functional testing automation necessitates a significant amount of human resources, money, and time. Due to its high market value and user demand, testers are ready to automate the testing process utilising a variety of solutions.To balance the coverage and efficiency of functional testing, teams might mix automated tests with specified manual test scenarios. Manual testing is used to test certain of the application tester’s functions. However, for a better outcome, the tester later blends manual testing with automation testing.

  • Performance Testing: The testing process is carried out by testers to test the performance and behaviour of applications that pass through various mobile device difficulties such as low battery power due to heavy battery use, connectivity out of coverage area/poor bandwidth/changing internet connection mode (2G, 3G, or WiFi)/changing broadband connection, transmitting large files, limited memory, concurrent approach to the application’s server by multiple users, and so on. The server and client of an application have a significant impact on the performance of a mobile application, thus testers must evaluate all sides of the application.

  • Memory Leakage Testing: Memory leakage is one of the most serious problems in mobile application testing, as it has a direct impact on device performance. Due to memory leakage, the procedure may slow down when downloading the file or the mobile device may turn off automatically while accessing any programme. As a result, mobile devices have less memory than computers, and most mobile operating systems automatically disable applications that use a lot of memory for processing. As a result, memory leakage testing is necessary to ensure that each application on the mobile device is using the most efficient memory for processing.

  • Interrupt Testing: Interrupt testing is a method of determining whether or not a mobile application’s operations will be interrupted while it is being used. Incoming and outgoing SMS/MMS/calls, incoming alerts, battery/cable insertion and removal for better usage, network loss and recovery, switch off/on of the media player and other connecting devices, Low memory alert, and device power cycle are some examples of interrupts (like; low battery notification).
  • Usability testing: Usability testing is performed to evaluate the usability, flexibility, and friendliness of mobile applications. The testing procedure ensures that the mobile app is now simple to use and provides clients with a satisfactory user experience.

  • Installation testing: Mobile devices feature two sorts of applications: one that comes pre-installed with the operating system (and which you must install separately from the store to use), and another that you must install separately from the store to use.

  • Operational testing: Whatever mobile OS or desktop OS has built-in backup and recovery features that store or recover all files or documents from mobile devices or programmes that have been lost due to a variety of factors. Operational testing is done to ensure that a backup and restore procedure is functioning effectively and reacting appropriately.
  • Security Testing: The goal of security testing is to ensure that the application’s data and network security are reacting in accordance with the stated requirement/guideline.
