Key Considerations for Developing a Mobile App Testing Checklist

This blog highlights some important points to keep in mind when creating a testing checklist for mobile apps.

Developers are constantly creating innovative mobile apps, leading to the rapid evolution of trends in the field. However, this rapid expansion has resulted in a plethora of applications, leaving consumers unsure about which ones to choose and how they work. As a result, developers prioritize mobile app testing and quality assurance to ensure that their apps are top-notch and free of defects.

Most of us are well aware of the negative impact that mobile application bugs can have on our devices. As such, the average mobile user tends to avoid using applications with known bugs or issues. To address this concern, mobile applications are thoroughly tested before being made available for public use.

Here are some important points to keep in mind when creating a testing checklist:

Performance

Performance testing is focused on two main areas: the speed and responsiveness of the app, and the resources it consumes on the device, such as CPU usage, memory usage on the SD card and device, and battery drainage. Even a minor weakness in the network connection can significantly impact the performance of the application. Therefore, it is important to test the app's behavior under varying network conditions or Wi-Fi connectivity. Additionally, users often favor apps that consume minimal data while delivering maximum performance, so this should be a key consideration when conducting performance testing. Ultimately, performance is judged on how well the app behaves on the device under various conditions.

Interruption

Bugs have a notorious tendency to interrupt the normal functioning of mobile devices. When an app is running, external events such as pop-up alerts, calendar notifications, incoming/outgoing voice calls, and text messages can disrupt normal user interaction with the app. Among these, incoming/outgoing calls are the most disruptive. In some cases, these interruptions can even affect the performance of other apps on the device. This is a common issue faced by almost every application, but addressing it before launching the app in the market can greatly improve its efficiency.

Device Integration

Integration of the mobile application with the device is an important aspect to consider during testing. The application should be capable of merging seamlessly with all the settings, configurations, and inbuilt applications of the mobile device, including but not limited to screen resolution, screen orientation, operating system, camera, audio, and GPS service. It is necessary to evaluate how an app performs on specific device specifications such as location services and camera usage, as this can impact expected results. Additionally, it is important to assess how the device responds to user gestures and how the application responds in turn.

Installation

The installation process of a mobile application is an important aspect that requires thorough testing. This should cover the entire process of installing, uninstalling, and updating the app. Unfortunately, testing of the installation process is often not given adequate attention. It is essential to consider the target audience during this process, as their experience with installing and uninstalling the app can vary significantly. First-time users of the app should also be considered, as their experience will differ from that of regular users. Testing should also take into account the process of updating the installed application, and whether the updated version is supported by the device.

Network

Network testing focuses on areas such as poor or weak signal, quality loss, and data transmission issues that can affect the performance of a mobile application. Applications that do not require network connectivity after installation are less susceptible to these issues. However, applications that require network traffic for their functioning tend to consume a significant amount of data. Messaging applications such as MB Messenger often fall under this category. In addition to data consumption, applications that heavily rely on network connectivity can also drain a mobile device's battery quickly. Gaming apps with multiplayer capabilities and music streaming apps like SoundCloud are examples of such apps.
