It outlines best practices and a structured testing process, including defining testing scope, addressing fragmentation, permissions, and cross-platform compatibility. The document also highlights the importance of security and compliance testing and offers services from Calidad Infotech for comprehensive mobile app testing.

2. • Mobile apps are a significant part of our lives; we use them in our daily activities, be it the
workplace, leisure time, studying, or acquiring knowledge. They are used by quadrillions populations
worldwide. Hence, it is crucial to test them rigorously and extensively before deploying them on the
app store.
• Mobile Application Testing seems challenging and complex, which can be simplified by following the
best practices and testing process. We will walk you through them in this blog.

Best Practices & Testing Process of Mobile
Application Testing

3. • Let us first quickly walk you through what Mobile Application Testing is. It is the process in which Mobile
Application Testers scrutinize Mobile App performance, functionality, usability, security, stability, and reliability.
• It helps Mobile App Developers detect bugs & glitches and fix them to make the App robust before deploying it
on the app store. Mobile App Testing can be conducted manually or automated to save time, effort, cost, and
human involvement.
• It is highly recommended to partner with a Mobile Application Testing Service Provider, as they are proficient in
performing Mobile App Testing. At Calidad Infotech, we provide premier quality Mobile Application Testing
Services to ensure speed & accuracy for your Mobile Apps.

What is Mobile Application Testing?

4. Best Practices of Mobile App Testing
• We recommend the following practices to ideally perform Mobile App Testing:
https://calidadinfotech.com/
Defining Testing Scope
• Every Mobile Tester follows different practices and approaches: some focus on the front end, and
others on the back end. For instance, you can’t enhance camera quality or permissions in Android
mobile versions below 6.0. Hence, it is pivotal to define a sensible, practical, and performable testing
scope.

5. Fragmentation
• Mobile applications have numerous fragmentations, such as OS, device, and browser. For this,
Mobile QA Testers must run mobile apps on several devices, OS, and models. They can also give
access to cloud-based platforms to perform testing on real devices. You can use either manual or
automated methods for testing.

6. App Permissions Testing
• It is a common mistake testers commit, as they overlook the number of permissions required by the
app to perform specific functions. Users might get frustrated due to more permissions asked by
mobile apps, leading them to uninstall them.
• Hence, mobile app testers must perform different permissions, which the app will request at
different stages. Unnecessary ones must be eliminated to enhance the user’s experience.

7. Cross-Platform Testing
• It is another practice that mobile app testers must follow to fix the compatibility issues of the mobile
app. To achieve this, testers must test compatibility on several devices, models, operating systems,
browsers, networks, and environments to ensure users can seamlessly use the application.

8. Connectivity-Related Testing
• Mobile Applications’ performance significantly depends on users’ network connectivity (strong and
weak). It is another practice that testers must follow before the application deployment on the app
store.
• Testers must check app performance in different mobile app network ranges to ensure it works
smoothly without hampering user experience. They can also use automation tools for network
simulation, increasing efficiency and reducing human involvement to speed up testing.

9. Mobile Application Testing Process
• Mobile Developers and Testers follow numerous processes and procedures to conduct Mobile App
Testing. We recommend the following process to achieve desired results:

10. Step 1: Gathering and Preparation of Test
Cases
• Before the testing process commencement, you must gather (list) test cases you want to get tested. To achieve
this, you must define a strategy by precisely outlining the test scenarios you wish to test, the purpose of running
them, and their expected results.
• For Test Cases Preparation, we recommend the following two approaches, and you can use any:
• Business-Based Testing to determine mobile app functionality from the business perspective
• Requirement-Based Testing to ascertain the performance of mobile app features
• You can bifurcate your test cases into the following two categories depending on the test type you want to
execute:
• Functional Testing (Integration, Unit, Regression, User-Interface, and Beta Testing)
• Non-Functional Testing (Performance, Load, Reliability, Security, Usability, and API Testing)

11. Step 2: Methods
• After defining and writing test cases and scenarios, you must determine whether to perform them
manually or automate them by eliminating human involvement.
• We recommend Automated Testing if test cases are small, need to be run frequently, testing devices
for fragmentation, and when the test has an expected result. Manual Testing is ideal when you are
testing several systems continuously.
• If you want to perform Manual Testing, the upfront cost is minimal. However, you must build a
competent Manual Testers team to conduct tests. For Automated Testing, you must invest time in
selecting tools for testing. Please ensure tools support different platforms, have rich features, and
the test cases are reusable.

12. • We recommend the combination of both testing methods for the agile approach. Through manual
testing, you will determine which test cases are repetitive and can be performed without human
involvement by automating them to reduce time, cost, and effort.
• At Calidad Infotech, we suggest to our clients a blend of manual and automated Mobile App Testing
methods for the best outcomes.

13. Step 3: Conducting Performance, Usability,
and Beta Testing
• We recommend conducting Performance Testing to analyze the performance of the app’s features. It tests
mobile application load & stress testing, detecting errors & glitches slowing down its performance and other
crucial components. It is carried out from the end user’s perspective to get an upfront overview of mobile app
efficiency post-deployment.
• By performing Usability Testing, mobile app developers will determine which app features are highly accepted
by end users and which are not. Accordingly, you can enhance the usability & performance of the well-accepted
features and remove the less-liked ones. Usability Testing will also help to check whether features are
functioning correctly.
• Through Beta Testing, developers will ascertain whether the included features of the mobile app are beneficial
from the end user’s viewpoint.

14. Step 4: Security and Compliance Testing
• It is crucial to conduct Security & Compliance Testing to ensure Mobile App meets specific Industry
Quality, Safety, and Compliance Standards before launching it on the app store. We recommend
getting your Mobile Application Certification Testing done according to the following standards:
https://calidadinfotech.com/

15. • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): Rigid Security Guidelines to protect end users’ personal
data
• HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act): Security & Privacy Regulations to protect
patient’s sensitive health information for Healthcare Mobile Apps
• FFIEC (Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council): Security Guidelines, Uniform Practices,
and Principles for Financial and Banking related Mobile Apps
• PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard): A set of Policies & Procedures to protect
against misuse of cardholders’ personal information for Online Payments & Transactions Mobile Apps
https://calidadinfotech.com/

16. Step 5: Launching the Final (Ready)
Version
• After completing all testing and development stages, mobile app testers must run the app one last
time to assess if there are no bugs or errors. And the mobile app is functioning correctly on their
back-end servers before deployment on the App Store and Google Play Store.
