                     Challenges And Mobile Testing 
Mistakes That Every Tester Faces
Mobile devices now account for 45.8% of ad impressions, 60% of clicks, 56% of spend and 53% of conversions. 
People’s obsessions with smartphones have enticed businesses to innovate and create interesting applications 
and also think of ideas to enhance their relationships with their clients through such apps.
Designing a user-friendly and killer mobile app is undoubtedly a challenging task but surprisingly, that’s a lesser 
difficulty for businesses today. With the availability of many tools, technologies, and easy access to good talent, 
developing a mobile app has become very easy. But businesses are concerned about the testing of their mobile 
apps.
There Are Following Mobile Testing Mistakes That 
You Must Avoid
        
 Importance Of Customer Feedback:
 
You have tested the app and it has been delivered and 
your work is over, right? not quite.
The tester should make it a point to gaze through the 
user reviews for the products related to the ones he 
tested. These are readily available at app stores such as 
Google play store, Mobogenie, etc. You can also find best 
mobile test companies via various online resources.
 
Complexity In The Name Of Sophistication:
 
Most of the users find it challenging to navigate their way 
in an app because of a congested or sophisticated user 
interface. 
Hence, it pays to have an app that is easy on the eye for 
the clients and further, the test cases required for such 
interfaces is always easy and less time-consuming.
We Can Test Everything:
 
It goes beyond the realm of possibility to test, say 100 
case scenarios for an app, over 20 different devices, 
operating under 10 diverse working environments. 
The problem is compounded when the date for the launch 
of the app is ever so near. Common sense advocates 
prioritizing a few important test case scenarios based on 
recent market trends for devices which are most in vogue, 
studying user behaviors and making use of Google 
analytics.
 
Online/Offline Plus Networking Issues:
 
While it is important to test the proper working of the app 
when the user is online and offline, an important problem 
often overlooked, is its ability to work across different 
bandwidths. This becomes relevant for users residing in 
areas having a history of intermittent service provision of 
net/ wireless abilities.
Jumping To Test Without Knowing The Sophistication Involved:
 
More of an attitudinal thing than a defect, it’s common to find testers run through the process of testing 
without arming themselves with a thorough understanding of the basic working logic in the app. A couple of 
tests on the UI.
Key Challenges Of Mobile App Testing
 
 Battery Life:
 
Battery life has been a major complaint of smartphone users and mobile users are very sensitive about the 
phone battery life. Every company are struggling to allow high-speed performance, better gaming, video 
viewing etc. 
Performance:
 
Mobile apps must account for limited and variable network bandwidth. Even a shared mobile network can 
have an important impact on the performance of the app. The mobile app's users are very impatient with 
slow performance.
 Operating Systems:
 
As the usage of smartphones is increasing, the users are also becoming smarter with the phone usage. They 
are utilizing their phones to download newer apps, view websites, be active on social networking sites, make 
purchases, and also maintain business communications. 
 
As the phone requirements are increasing and usage patterns are changing, the expectations from mobile 
operating systems are also improving. There are various mobile operating systems in the market today and 
each operating system has many versions.
