Hello!
With the surging trend of mobile application usage, brands are focusing on mobile application testing. With the regular updation of features, or enhancing the user-experience regularly, one needs to understand that we need robust strategies for mobile application testing which provides constructive results. As per the statistics 65% of the users tend to uninstall an app due to slow loading speed, complicated navigation, unattractive UI, mobile device fragmentation etc. That’s the reason organizations from diverse verticals are relying on mobile application testing for providing seamless user experience to their customers . So in this blog we will discuss all the factors which extracts all the facts to advocate the notion that mobile application is a necessity and not a luxury.
Slow Loading Speed
As per the stats 60% of the mobile users uninstall the application due to slow loading speed. Hence performance testing is required, which measures the threshold number of users that can sustain using an application. Similarly, performance testing also measures the reliability, scalability, stability of an application under a certain workload. The different types of performance testing are Load testing, Stress testing, Endurance testing, Spike Testing, Volume Testing, Scalability Testing. This testing strategy keeps the issues of slow loading speed at bay.
Device Fragmentation Issues
Device fragmentation is nothing but the distorted UI graphics of mobile devices caused when a set of users are using an old browser version while the other set of users use new browser versions. So basically, device fragmentation is caused due to incompatibility of the application with incompatible sets of browser, devices and os combinations. Hence this issue can only be solved by testing the application with maximum number of device, browser and os combinations. With Cross browser testing we can test a number of browsers, device and os combinations in parallel. Hence cross browser testing is essential for getting rid of device fragmentation issues.
Automation Testing is the Fuel
Owing to the frequent feature updation and on time delivery, the QA and development teams are focusing on maximising automating the test cases. Maximum automation helps in getting better test coverage, accelerated speed of testing, efficient results. Automating the redundant test cases like cross browser testing and regression testing, saves employees’s time and energy. Today organisations are implementing machine learning to ensure that there are no flaky test cases. So organizations are working in continuously improving the automation strategies which is a must to build high performing mobile applications.
Also one of the main strategies for improving the efficiency of test automation is implementing continuous testing. In continuous testing small pieces of codes are tested and deployed. The codes are validated at each and every step of the development cycle which helps in getting best quality apps. As the codes are tested from the earlier stages there is no chance of dealing with the bugs at the later stages which takes a lot of time and the cost of fixing those bugs is very high.There are many continuous testing tools available in the market. It will definitely help you in accelerated performances.
Conclusion
Mobile application testing can not only remove the bugs, work on testing the regular updates at high speed and with great quality, but also improve the user experience. From a perfect UI to providing seamless functioning of the application, mobile application testing is very much required for building high performing applications. Selecting the right mobile testing tools is the first step in the journey of building high performing mobile apps. Hence be very carefull while selecting the mobile app testing tools. Cloud based mobile app testing tools are highly recommended as they are highly accessible.
