2. MOBILE APPLICATION TESTING
Mobile Boom is everywhere these days and this is the
latest and advanced way of Interaction with the people.
Mobile Application development process on its peak
these days and many companies are Developer mobile
apps. As we know about the current scenario of the
Smartphone World, we got a new surprise each and
every day. Mobile landscape is changing Day by day
and we like those changes too. There are many mobile
OS presents in The market but few are very popular
with the public. In this condition it is necessary to test
a Mobile application through all possible ways to
remain in the competition.

3. CHECK LIST
Suppose You have recently developed a mobile
application and you want to test it before Its
launching, so here I am going to tell you some of the
key points you should Cover initially. The most
important thing that you should make a checklist and
Then test accordingly.

4. SIGN-UP AND LOGIN ISSUE
If you are offering an Application for the user then it is
possible that it will have login access Fields. If a user
is not able to access your application easily than
yours The application is totally waste for him so pay
attention at this point first.

5. DATA HANDLING
If your application Stores data then data handling is
one of the most important phases. Means how Your
app stores the data , how it manages the data ? This
thing will ensure the Security level of your mobile
application.

6. ERROR MESSAGES HANDLING
When a user uses a The application then he or she
operates it in a casual way so if goes wrong then Apps
should return a proper error message. An error
message not only gives a Warning but also guide to
the right way.

7. OPERATING SYSTEM ISSUE
Each and every The application runs on any operating
system and OS can affect the performance of The
application. It is necessary to test the compatibility of
the OS with the Mobile application for its proper
functioning.

8. MENU BAR AND OPTIONS
It is very important To make your menu options easily
accessible and interactive. If a user is Facing some
problem in operating your app then there should be
some good Options like help through which he or she
can easily operate it.

9. KEYS AND BUTTONS
Your application Should have a proper navigation like
the back button, scrolling bar etc. All Those functions
make your apps cool and user friendly to use.

10. SCREEN SIZE ISSUES
As we know that there Are thousands of mobile sets
available in the market and their sizes vary from
Company to company. In this case it is necessary to
test your application for All screen sizes so that it can
perform well for each size of the mobile Device.

11. CHALLENGES WHILE DEALING WITH NATIVE APP AND MOBILE WEB
Well Both are mobiles but when you will test then you
will have to face different Challenges for both. Before
dealing with both testing processes we should
Understand the difference between them. So native
apps are those apps which are Installed directly for
some devices like Smartphone's and iPad. People can
Easily download it from the Apple store and Android
play stores. Now comes to the mobile web they can be
Downloaded through the mobile web browsers easily.
If we are testing for both Then challenges are different
for Native Mobile applications because it is specially
designed for the specific OS. As we Have discussed
that native apps are made for specific OS and mobile
web can be developed Anyway so testing is
complicated for mobile web app.
