Why Testing required for mobile app:
Now a day’s mobile is a multi tasking device.
At a time we are doing lots of work in the mobile like: when we are surfing net
,In between we get a call and SMS.
At present smart phone does not have enough
ram for handling the entire thing at same time due to which your mobile may
hang or your application may crash. The crash of the application is pathetic
for the end user. As a result user will not be interested in using your application
or website.
To prevent such situation, Testing is
necessary part of any application either mobile desktop or website.
In the mobile so many things needs to resolve
before releasing the App or website.
Now a day’s mobile application is not a small
development task. Proper testing is necessary and app should be passing from different
type of testing.
Type of Testing for mobile Application
1
Functional Testing- Functional testing ensures that the application is working
as per the requirements. Most of the test conducted for this is driven by the
user interface and call flows. Its application should be able to handle these
interruptions by going into a suspended state and resuming afterwards.
2.
Network carriers Testing- If your application is related to the mobile
network provider of location wise. It should be tested well in all geographic location
with multiple service provider. In this testing is performed to find out any
glitches when a mobile application uses voice and/or data connection to perform
some functions.
3.
Performance Testing- In this testing we will check the how much me
memory is consume by the application during using the app. Also check the behavior of the application under certain
conditions such as low battery, bad network coverage, low available memory,
simultaneous access to application’s by multiple user.
4.
Memory Leakage Testing- Memory leakage happens when a computer program
or application is unable to manage the memory it is allocated resulting in poor
performance of the application and the overall slowdown of the system. As
mobile devices have significant constraints of available memory, memory leakage
testing is crucial for the proper functioning of an application.
6.
Compatibility testing- In the compatibility testing, we will test the
application into the different browser or platform available into the market.
In this testing verifies that the installation process goes smoothly without
the user having to face any difficulty. This testing process covers
installation, updating and uninstalling of an application.
All
the APP or website should be backward or forward compatible of different
version of browser or platform
