What Are Mobile App Testing Services?

Mobile testing as a service helps businesses identify potential issues in their software intended for usage on smartphones and tablets and improve its overall performance. Mobile app testing companies that provide these services look into details of various quality aspects. QA experts start with mobile functional testing to check if the app works as intended. They run performance, compatibility, accessibility, localization, usability, and a number of other testing types to review and validate all characteristics of a mobile app before it reaches users. Mobile software testing services help ensure a better user experience and contribute to the app’s success in the competitive market.

Types of Mobile Testing We Provide

Mobile app testing services encompass various testing types to cover all critical aspects of the software’s work. Each kind of inspection provides insights into specific facets – features, usability, responsiveness, stability under different conditions, accessibility, and more. Different mobile testing types contribute to the same goal: creating a seamless and satisfying user experience that boosts the app’s reliability and popularity among users.

It is one of the key components of mobile app testing services. During functional testing of mobile applications, QA engineers closely interact with the software’s features, mimicking real user behavior. These checkups consider very diverse elements and actions, ranging from basic operations like tapping buttons to applying all possible user scenarios for complex app-specific functionalities. Through functional testing, QA engineers verify that everything is working as intended and detect deviations from the expected behavior for pre-release fixing.
During UI testing for mobile apps, QA engineers examine the application’s design elements, layout, and navigation. The purpose of a UI mobile app test is to confirm everything is working, user-friendly, and appealing. The specialists estimate both functionality and visual components, paying attention to font sizes, colors, button placements, etc. Identifying and addressing any potential UI issues allows for the enhancement of the overall usability. The team ends up with a mobile application that meets the requirements and is easy to navigate.
Our team conducts thorough performance testing on mobile apps to assess and assure the speed, stability, and responsiveness of your product under varying conditions. QA engineers simulate different usage scenarios. They can include heavy user traffic, low network connectivity, high system loads, etc. All of this helps identify potential performance bottlenecks and areas for optimization. The goal is to ensure your mobile application is flexible enough to deliver consistent performance in a vast array of real-world scenarios.
Mobile compatibility testing is aimed at ensuring your application works properly across various devices, operating systems, screen sizes, browsers, and versions of all of the mentioned. Ensuring the mobile app’s compatibility with different software and hardware configurations is critical for business. The app should work equally well regardless of the device or platform your audience chooses to use. QA engineers check features as well as evaluate the app’s responsiveness and visual integrity.
Testing on emulators and simulators is acceptable in the early phases of testing. Yet, only real devices allow us to check how an application behaves with native hardware and other apps installed there. QA engineers can model various interruptions and check numerous use cases closely, including resource utilization, camera, location, network connectivity, third-party interruptions, and more. Mobile devices testing allows the team to optimize your mobile application for a diverse user base, enhance its overall quality, and boost user satisfaction.
This type of manual mobile application testing offers a dynamic and intuitive approach to evaluating your mobile application. Unlike scripted tests, exploratory testing involves improvisation. The QA engineers actively “explore” the app, interacting with it as end-users would. Hence, exploratory testing allows for uncovering unexpected issues or areas for potential improvements. It also works well as the initial inspection of a mobile application when a QA engineer just joins a team and starts learning the app details and preparing the testing documentation.

Mobile Apps Testing Process Includes

Our QA mobile testing process is designed to ensure every important detail of your app is thoroughly examined. QA specialists can tailor a precise step-by-step plan after learning your objectives and the product’s particularities. In general, it entails five phases: planning, design, implementation, stabilization, and delivery.

Planning

QA engineers get familiar with the app and set the background for testing.

They communicate closely with your team to learn as much as possible about the app. In addition to the functionality, it includes specific requirements and business objectives. Based on that, QA engineers define the test scope, prepare a mobile test strategy or test plan for mobile application testing, and outline a roadmap for the project. 

Clear communication and transparent planning are critical at this stage. They lay the foundation for systematic planning, which allows you to align the work scope with your objectives and expectations from quality assurance. Moreover, good planning makes it easier to scale or update the strategy later if needed.

Design

QA engineers set up everything that is necessary to test mobile application.

The specialists create detailed documentation that outlines the specific scenarios to execute. They write mobile app testing checklist or test cases covering various aspects of your app. Having a finalized list of checkups helps systemize the testing process and keep it better organized throughout execution. 

Additionally, QA engineers participate in setting up the testing environment. They share requirements to make sure it mimics real-use conditions. It’s also necessary to prepare test data: create or request test accounts, credentials, and similar details. Hence, the design phase sets the stage for proper test execution.

Implementation

QA engineers move from preparation to testing mobile app.

The carefully crafted test plans and designs come to life. The QA engineers execute the prewritten test cases or checklists to evaluate the mobile app’s functionality, performance, usability, and security. They interact with your app as end-users, mimicking their behavior closely to identify any potential bugs or glitches.

During mobile software testing, QA engineers assess the user interface, navigation, and overall design to ensure the app works as intended, the design is consistent, and user flows are intuitive. This phase is critical in the mobile app testing process. This is when QA specialists get to ensure that the app meets the requirements and report deviations.

Stabilization

Software and QA engineers work on fixes together.

While developers are in charge of code changes during bug fixes, QA specialists proceed with mobile application testing service and run several extra checkups. These include retesting, smoke testing, and regression testing. Only after completing these procedures can we be sure that all issues identified earlier are resolved.  

The stabilization phase is the bridge between testing and release. Stabilization is about fine-tuning your application and making sure it’s ready to handle real users. QA engineers confirm the bugs have been fixed, and new ones haven’t appeared during recent code iterations. They give a green light to deployment on production.

Delivery

The app is released, and the team sums up the process.

After meticulous mobile platform testing, bug resolution, and optimization, the app is released. After this, the QA engineers work mainly with user feedback and tickets from the team. If the company works in sprints, however, the development and testing cycle starts all over again, from planning to delivery of new features and fixes. 

Also, the QA engineers provide comprehensive test reports and share overall feedback with the team. They summarize testing activities, discuss issue resolution, and, if needed, suggest process improvements for further cooperation. This transparency allows you to have a clear overview of the QA app testing process and your app’s quality.

FAQ

Mobile application testing service comes with a lot of particularities and questions. If you have any project-specific inquiries, our team will gladly help you figure out the process particularities and come up with the best mobile application testing strategy.

What is mobile app testing?

Testing for mobile applications allows for evaluating the functionality, performance, and usability of a product before releasing it to the public. QA engineers run a thorough checkup to ensure the app works as intended and meets user expectations. The goal of mobile app testing is to identify and fix all critical issues before the app reaches users.

QA experts examine various software aspects when testing mobile applications. They look at how an app responds to different devices, screen sizes, and operating systems and test for potential bugs, glitches, or crashes that could impact the user experience. Additionally, mobile app testing assesses how well a product performs under different conditions, like poor network connections or low battery.

How to automate mobile app testing?

Automated testing for mobile applications involves using specialized tools and scripts. They enable QA engineers to perform testing tasks automatically. It’s particularly useful for repetitive or time-consuming tasks, allowing software testers to focus on more complex aspects of app quality.

Test automation for mobile applications starts with selecting the right tools that cover the required testing types, support the programming languages automation QA engineers know, etc. Next, test automation experts create scripts that mimic user interactions with the mobile app. Finally, they set up these scripts to run on various devices, tapping buttons, entering text, and navigating through different screens instead of QA engineers.

How to do mobile app testing?

Mobile testing service is a systematic process. To ensure that a mobile application functions appropriately, QA engineers:

1. Identify the key functionalities and features of the app that need validation.
2. Outline the approach, prepare the test strategy, and write testing documentation.
3. Perform manual testing, simulating various scenarios on different devices.
4. Report bugs so that software developers can fix all defects found by this stage.
5. Set up automation (if viable and necessary) to streamline the testing process.

Throughout the mobile app testing process, our experts explore different scenarios, such as varying network conditions, device orientations, input methods, and more. They also look for any bugs, glitches, or inconsistencies that might affect the app’s performance. Additionally, QA specialists verify that the app meets specific requirements and complies with design guidelines for the targeted platforms.

The combination of manual and automation testing for mobile applications helps ensure reliability, functionality, and user satisfaction before the app becomes available to the public.

How to do performance testing for mobile apps?

During mobile performance testing, QA engineers focus on aspects like speed, responsiveness, and stability. The common approach is to simulate various scenarios, such as different network speeds, low battery conditions, and high user loads. For this, they use specific tools that recreate the desired conditions and allow for measuring how the app responds.

Performance testing is an umbrella term that entails a variety of behavioral aspects. For example, load testing evaluates the app’s response to regular, expected user traffic. Stress testing assesses the app’s stability by pushing it beyond its average operating capacity. Additionally, a mobile testing company can monitor resource usage (CPU, memory, and network bandwidth) to identify potential bottlenecks.
