Mobile App QA Tips - 1 of 5

We asked our Mobile App QA Team for their top five QA tips. Our Mobile App Testers have years of testing mobile apps across a wide range of app categories, and their expertise has contributed to the release of hundreds of high-quality mobile apps on iPhone, Windows Mobile and Android platforms. We thought we would share their top five tips with you!

Mobile App QA Tip – No.1

The most common defect we see as mobile app testers, is issues related to orientation. During any exploratory testing phase, one of the first things we check is the orientation functionality. By simply rotating the mobile device and navigating through the app’s screens, it really is surprising how many issues will be uncovered. From our experience, working with a large number of developers, more often than not, orientation functionality was either entirely forgotten, or simply enabled assuming it would ‘just work’.

The type of orientation issues we see are typically text related. As no provision has been made to handle the orientation change, the text is often inappropriately wrapped or clipped. In addition to text issues, we see a lot of image-related issues here too. Often, images can be clipped or stretched to fill the screen, which is obviously undesired in most circumstances.

website testing service

Visit Testing4Success.com to view our complete range of website testing services – Once a website has been developed, it is imperative that website testing is performed. Ideally, the website testing would have been carried out throughout the development stage. However, website testing is often left until the last minute before it goes live. This is not a total disaster, and a good quality website can still be released if the testing is planned and executed correctly.

In order to ensure a website can be released with confidence, it is highly recommended to get the website tested by a professional website tester or testing service. There are many companies offering such services, and the cost of which is typically a lot lower than you may think. In the end, it all comes down to risk. How much risk are you prepared to take by releasing a  sub-standard website?

Testing4Success Launches Enhanced Mobile App QA Service

One of the obstacles that software development companies face when developing mobile apps, is the ability to test their new apps on real devices. Ensuring an app works on a real device is a ‘no brainer’ from a QA point of view. A simulator is just not sufficient when you consider the risks of an app not working correctly in the hands of the end user. A simulator just cannot replicate the end-user environment and prevents associated key tests from being performed, such as; CPU, memory, network, interrupt, multi-tasking tests.

Up until now, most software development companies have had to make-do with a few real devices and selection of simulators to QA their app. This is an obvious risk in the ‘feedback-oriented’ mobile app marketplace. As soon as app is released it is open to feedback, and potential buyers will judge the app based on the feedback comments and associated rating. Negative feedback can kill an app right from the get-go, and so it is critical to the commercial success of the app to ensure it’s quality on a wide range of real devices.

At Testing4Success, we can provide effective mobile app QA on a massive range of real devices. To supplement our extensive range of iPhones, iPads, Windows Mobile and Android devices, we have teamed up with a third-party supplier to ensure our available range of devices includes not only a huge selection, but also includes the very latest devices on the market.

Here is my list in no particular order:

Web Browser Compatibility

In the old days we just had Internet Explorer, and a handful of other insignificant browsers. Now we have several key players such as; IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc. For any we development, browser compatibility testing is extremely important. The actual test approach is fairly easy, and consists of looking at each web page looking for issues related to layout mostly. Comparisons can then be made to other browsers. It is amazing how many differences you can detect  with browser compatibility testing, it really is!

Web Functionality

Typically, web developments contain input boxes or fields for the user to interact with. Other software techniques can be used here such as Boundary Value Analysis and Equivalence Partitioning.

Web Usability

A web development must do what it was designed to to. A key concept here is usability. If a user cannot perform the actions that they expected, they will leave the website. Or if a user finds performing a task on the website too awkward or confusing, again, the user will go elsewhere. A web tester should be able to place themselves in the mind-set of a typical user and work through various user-based scenarios.

Well, that’s a few web testing basics to start with, I will post more tips soon!

Outsourced Software Testing

Outsourcing QA is growing in popularity these days. This is down to several factors, one them being the current economic climate. As many software development companies are forced to reduce their size to save money, often it’s the testers that are the first to go. Often, after such resizing has taken effect a company will find it’s self in the position of not having enough test expertise to complete a project. This issue is sometimes temporarily rectified by brining in contractors to do the job. Unfortunately, using contractors has its own set of complications such as; going through the hiring process, knowing how long a contract should be granted for, ramp-up time for contractors to learn appropriate product and technical knowledge. This is where outsourced software testing really shines!

By outsourcing a companies software testing to a professional outsourced QA company, all of the issues that come with using contractors can be avoided. There is no hiring process, as the outsourced QA company has already done that. You will have a quote for work and and would have discussed a time-frame which the outsourced QA company would agree to in advance. The testers used from a reputable outsourced QA company will be highly experienced and versatile and be used to ramping-up on product details at a fast pace.

A question that is often asked is; how does outsourcing compare to hiring contractors to do the job. Often (and surprising to some), it works out cheaper to outsource than to hire. This is down to the additional man-hours involved in hiring a contractor and bringing up to a level where they can be of benefit. Also, a company rarely pays a contractor directly, they have to pay the contractor’s agency a fee, sometimes a very large fee. With outsourcing, you work out the costs involved way in advance. This can be a fixed fee or an hourly rate. Essentially, you are paying just for the testing and not wasting money on additional man-hours or agency fees.
