Testing challenges in quality delivery of mobile applications



According to Statista, the number of mobile phone users in the world is expected to pass the Five billion mark by 2019.
Considering the growth of mobile device users, companies are targeting Consumer apps and Enterprise apps to
be available in various mobile versions.

Some of the direct benefits of Mobile applications Testing -

  • Easy and fast user communication
  • Builds customer loyalty
  • Increase in ROI
  • Improved visibility of features

Some of the drawbacks of Mobile applications -

  • Inadequate data security
  • Poor user experience e.g. multi-language support
  • Excessive battery drainage
  • Substandard performance

It is very important to note that there is always availability of one-click functionality of ‘Uninstall’ the application, customers
should be refrained from using it. So, while designing the Test approach/strategy, the merits and demerits
need to be taken into account.

Some of the key challenges in Mobile App testing and it’s solutions -

  • User Experience
With the availability of mobile devices on various platforms and screen sizes, usability is of utmost importance.
The test cases should be designed from the end-users’ perspective. A different mindset is required to test Mobile
Applications than Desktop Applications. 

  • Operating systems
 With different usage patterns, the expectations from mobile operating systems are also changing. The OS is available in a
number of versions and the app should support them. Test cases should be designed to support all available versions of OS.
In this scenario, test Automation helps to reduce test efforts in terms of time and cost.  

  • Screen Sizes
There are many international as well as local players in the market providing mobile phones with different screen sizes.
To tackle this challenge, the application has to be tested on various mobile devices. Test lab with various devices should be
available for QA teams. There is an option of simulators and emulators or mobile clouds like Browserstack in the
market where a variety of devices are available.

  • Network Testing
There are different networks available worldwide like 2G, 3G, 4G, BLE, Wi-Fi, etc. The same set of test cases are to be
executed for different networks as per geographical requirements.  

  •  Different types of Mobile Apps
There are three types of mobile apps available in the market I.e. Native, Hybrid and Web-based apps. As the behavior of
each application is different, there has to be a different set of test cases, test efforts for each type.
