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.
