Why Mobile Apps need to be tested?

Compared to other testing Mobile application testing is more challenging in many ways as in, the demand of devices with new technology and rush towards introducing new app had made mobile applications very popular in the market in very less time and bringing the app in the market with zero defects is another biggest challenge for the mobile app providers.

It is understandable that developers who develop mobile applications after spending huge amount of effort and time will always look that the app they have developed should succeed and in return they should be benefited with the success of that app.

There are many factors contained within the development of a successful mobile application, as there are many phases involved in and which are affecting the release of an app on time.

Let us look into on what are the reasons stopping the app release:

A fully loaded app with issues and bugs cannot be introduced and launched in the market until it is not properly tested. The developer should always make sure that the app is completed testing activities in all the phases before hitting the market and the user should not get any chance of finding errors once it is out. If not, this will directly hit the engagement and the app download ratio will drastically fell down. This type of situation can be avoided by the developers by implementing accurate testing methodologies to test mobile apps.

Best proven mobile app testing methodologies:

You can involve end users and professionals to test the mobile app who can give you innovative opinions to achieve better performance in the app.

Like, friends, and family can also be involved in such process to get best reviews about your app. Developers tend to choose a person who is involved in the app development process and he should be aware of every phase of the app and identify the contingency. Whereas, if developer choose a person who has zero knowledge about the development process can be proved more efficient than the one having the expertise as he can check the app in and out with many questions in him and thus this can help the developer to have a real and truthful reviews on his mobile app.

Put yourself in customer’s shoes:

Always put yourself in customers/users place, as this will help you to achieve best application, as the users are the inspiration for any developers to develop a mobile app.Developer should be able to think the features any user would love to have and about the functionalities they are going to use.

Plan your testing plan:

Developer should plan a strategic planning for developing mobile application testing before the launch of their app. This will in turn help developers in defining the work flow and also ensures the soft flow of testing process.

Metrics for continuous improvement:

Metrics will help you in identifying the areas which are working well and the areas that need more focus to work on and this will help the developers to gather all the data on which the application is going to perform and metrics like session time and retention rates for customer will help you to get the important information about how to make your app more successful.

Non Functional Testing:

As testers are more concerned on app functionality, they might fail to miss the non-functional features like app layout, performance time and loading, and expected output generation.

Thus, missing out these non-functional features and giving less priority to all these non-functional aspects and looking at them at very last moment leads to many problems to the testers and by then they will run out of time. Testers without testing all these non-functional areas, might face so many problems in testing your app in the real world scenarios.

To get rid of all your testing needs you have various testing tools available in the market, but choosing the right one is what matters and which can be used to provide a visual analytics and thus this help the developers to know on how users are interacting with his application and how he can implement the expected changes. Such analytic information will be helpful to improve various modules and support to launch a successful app.
