Tests While Developing Apps

If you begin to test a few days before your applications hit the market, you're late. A wealth of aspects, data, and functions must be tested on the first day. Here are some things to consider how to incorporate the testing as part of your mobile application development:

1. Automation Generic thing as much as you Can

When building a mobile application, a planned testing strategy will greatly benefit you. exceptional user experience and design are paramount, and the construction of solid and fundamental tests. Many things in mobile application testing can be automated and tests can increase the depth and scope of testing and significantly help to improve the quality of your application. Ideally, the test case should have full access to the application and test all aspects of it: the contents of memory, data tables, the contents of the file, and the countries of the internal program to determine whether the product works as expected.

2. App Changes During Development and Testing

Once you start to change a piece of code, many other things also change, user interface, graphics, functionality, to name a few. Even if you change 10% of the application source code, you still need to test your application comes in a holistic manner. In this case, manual testing can never increase you, and create test cases for all new features is your best choice. By this all test cases can be used to perform automated testing on the new features. It is important to build your tests so that they are maintained during this phase of your application development.

3. Choose a Provider Testing Tech and You Can Grow With

If you have an application that is already on the market and seeks to create other similar types of applications, make sure you choose the technology and the seller provider that you can use for your needs. For example, build your test cases with a particular method or framework means that test cases can be reused with the new application - at least to some extent. For this it is important to choose the technologies and vendors will be able to handle your needs as your product scales, testing needs to cover new geographic areas, and even support new platforms (eg Android -> iOS).

4. Do 24/7 Testing with Test Automation

test automation will help you to reduce the time of testing new features and entire applications by enabling the execution of tests happening 24/7.

5. Scale Up with Cloud-Based Testing Platform

In the Software test, you will not only gain access to the European and North American popular, but also the major Asian device you want. One test runs on our platform can provide a comprehensive picture of how to run your application on a variety of devices from a global perspective.

Testing Type That Can Be Established in Development Phase

Use cases are believed to be one of the best basis for building a real-world test cases. For some reason in the past, to automate the process of test generation, there has been a large gap to bridge high-level use cases and test concrete hammer your software. Here are some interesting - and yet more importantly - testing angles to keep in mind when you are planning a testing method (and apparatus) for your mobile app, game, or service:

1. Functional Automated Testing

Functional testing usually involves several steps to describe what the system is doing: From the identification of the function of the software is expected to do, the creation of data input and output based specification, the actual implementation of the test, and the comparison of actual and expected output. In order to automate the functional testing, it is advisable to adopt a professional tool and a real test case again Android and iOS devices.

2. Performance and Stress test

In order to determine how well your application's response to various levels of use, users should consider creating a test that lasts for hours to observe how well the application, as well as combinations of device/server, behave during long usage. To determine whether your application will be able to run successfully for the duration of sustained under heavy load, stress tests can be used. The performance test will measure how responsive your application can reside on a real device.

3. Global Access to Real Devices

Currently, the beauty of automated testing for mobile applications is that you do not even need to own or have a physical device you test your application. For example, some of the pre-market device which is located in Hong Kong and the mobile devices in the US CDMA. But you can still have access to these devices, test instrumentation, and receive results in minutes.

4. Regression Testing

Most of today's mobile service has a client-server interaction, requires a login, upload the data (such as images) and download data (eg news, data, image). When developing this kind of service, users need to ensure that all of the changes they made in the code, either the server side or client-side does not violate the service function. Testing for these types of use cases may be practically impossible to do manually and automated testing is really the only choice.

5. Localization Testing

Testing is especially important when your application is targeted for the global market. The word 'global' means that the application or game you need to be 'local' to all people. When your application needs to be translated and tested with the device in several languages, types of tests can easily be done automatically change the device language and even do it again with the same test runs. Layout problems can easily be taken from a screenshot.

Conclusion

Testing is an important activity to ensure success in a highly competitive landscape of mobile applications and games. But poorly planned testing can be 20-50% of the total development effort, and in that case, also will be the largest single expense in your budget. In order to ensure that the testing can be done very efficiently, encompassing the essence of today's mobile ecosystem and the different device models, relying on a cloud-based testing platform and strong mandate, as Sapizon Software Testing is the best choice.
