8 Blind Spots Often Overlooked When Testing on MobileNeotys
You don’t want to overlook anything when it comes to mobile performance testing. So in order to save you from the pain of missing those little things, we’ve put together a SlideShare guide highlighting eight testing blind spots. Use it as a checklist – you may even want to print it out and keep it on your fridge.
Developing a web or mobile application takes a lot of effort, but all that effort can go down the drain quickly if you improperly load test the application or completely skip testing. Load testing applications is important and a necessary step in the pre-production stage.
New applications, ones that have not yet made it to the production stage, likely don’t have a performance benchmark established. You don’t typically know what to expect with a new app, which is why before you do a larger load test on any application you first do some baseline testing. This will allow you to establish some benchmarks and pick out any performance issues before you place a larger load on the app. For example, if your app crashes with just five users, you have a problem. Look to the application architects to determine if any service level agreements have been set for the application during design.
Once you have done some baseline testing you are ready to load test your application to determine its performance levels under heavier load. Here are 5 essential tips for starting load testing on an application.
Entrepreneurs know that hiring great employees is the key to success, but few invest in the hiring process. As a result, small business owners waste tons of time on hiring the wrong people or hiring the right people the wrong way. Investing in the hiring process is a worthwhile use of your time. It may be the single most important action you take for your business.
