 What is the testing of cellular applications and why is it important?

The success of the application can be measured by the number of positive downloads and comments, as well as the quick implementation of new features and bug fixes. Above all, it is not underestimated, word of mouth. But how can you ensure the success of the application?

With cellular application testing.

Testing is actually an important part of each software development process and with cellular applications it becomes more important. The more cellular devices lead to massive OS fragmentation, screen size, standard OS variations and more. With a agile process, software testing is done at any time to ensure the best quality. New features and bug fixes need to be released with short intervals, so users do not attract new interests and features may not carry new bugs. Testing is vital for the survival of the application.

The main challenge of testing cellular applications

Testing cellular applications is more complex than testing traditional desktops and web applications and have their own challenges.

The biggest challenge is a lot of different cellular devices. As for August 2015 there are more than 24,000 different Android devices and the number has just grown over time. All of these devices have different sizes, shapes, software, software, and hardware and you have to test on enough devices to ensure that most of your users are happy.

People today travel more often than they use, take their cellular devices with them: Changing networks and roaming is another challenge that needs to be overcome. You definitely want to make sure that your application works when your user needs it. It's possible online or offline, with weak signals etc.

Approach to testing cellular applications

As applies to software testing, you have two main approaches for testing cellular applications too: manual testing and automatic testing. We will briefly explain both.

Manual testing.

Manual testing is input, human analysis or evaluation. This approach is centered on users by explorative monitoring, whether cellular applications meet the requirements and expectations of users. You have to test your application for the look & feel and for use, make sure it's a user friendly. You should not use manual testing for all your tests, but only for around 20% of them, for the rest you can use automatic testing.

Automatic testing

Automatic testing is the approach of testing other cellular applications. You should ideally set as many cases as possible, which will allow you to automate around 80% of your tests. There are special test cases that must be automatic and here is a list:

Automate the most frequent tests

Automate test cases that are easy to automate

Automate test cases that have predictable results

Automate the most boring manual test case

Automate test cases that are not possible manually

Automate test cases that run on multiple platforms and hardware configurations or different software

Automate frequently used functionality
