                     6 MAJOR 
CHALLENGES OF 
MOBILE APPLICATION 
TESTING
Nowadays, millions of people rely on mobile applications to perform internet surfing for social 
networking and other purposes as well. The rapid use of mobile apps and its fast development, 
emphasize the need for proper testing before the release into the market. As end users are now 
apprehensive about user experience and performance, there is a need to talk about the major 
challenges of mobile application testing
SOME OF THE MAJOR CHALLENGES OF
MOBILE APP TESTING ARE
Lack of access to
multiple devices
Reduced time
to market 
Security Threats
Issues related to UI and Context
app performance awareness
Touchscreen
Security Threats
There is extra security needed for applications running through private cloud when compared 
to applications running in a public cloud. A secure private cloud would have no data violation 
and will provide access to testing teams. 
Lack of access to
multiple devices
There are times when two testers would need the same device at one time, and it would 
become impossible to use the same device by two testers. Therefore, one tester would 
always remain left out till the other one stops using it. Buying multiple devices is expensive 
and time-consuming. It is also not advisable to place testers across zones.
Issues related to UI and 
app performance
Customers usually choose an application with a better user experience. Moreover, the app 
should give a proper, fresh, and pre-defined user interface. An adjournment of more than two 
seconds might affect user performance, causing a significant impact on user preferences. 
Mobile apps that are free from defects and errors will give a better user experience, which 
will directly affect the business sources of the application. 
Reduced time 
to market 
Strict timelines can greatly affect the testing of the mobile application; they can prevent 
accomplishing of development, proper design, need overall testing of mobile apps along with 
the needs of the user. Several stages of mobile app development are strictly related, and it 
needs to be tested properly. For actual testing and future release, there is a basic requirement 
Touchscreen
The touch screen allows retrieval and display of data quicker and easier. Nowadays, it is one 
of the major foundations of user interaction. Testing of touch screen becomes more 
complicated and constant. On top of this, signs showing data tends to cause a challenge in 
the testing process.
Context awareness
Context awareness is one of the greatest challenges in mobile app testing as it demands 
new and advanced methodologies. Mobile applications in different contexts together with 
different data can create a new challenge in the whole testing process. Continuously 
changing usage patterns and environment of smartphones can create a huge impact on 
context.
