QA & Testing Principles

What does it take to write higher quality apps? What can we do to enable the companies and the developers, particularly, to be more productive? The answer is having a better testing experience. In 2017 no one company cannot afford uploading applications with a hidden error. Each mistake can cost you a customer. That is why QA (Quality Assurance) or mobile app testing has made a lot of progress for the last couple of years. Wezon Mobile's QA team highlights the importance of testing mobile app software on many levels using all existed suits of tools and approaches.

Mobile Application Testing Process

Mobile application and web application testing are two different processes. For now, there is a big change in the market about mobile access to all kinds of applications. This includes more software diversity and more platforms to test on. Thus, the nature of testing is changing too. Today it is really important to able to automate mobile app testing services to keep up with the demand of the releases. An effective testing means qualitative result. It is a combination of 4 main elements:

1.    Automation;

2.    Real devices/platforms;

3.    Continuous integration;

4.    Agile environment.

QA mobile testing is about solving the main challenges mobile apps have. The main 3 problems Wezon Mobile pays special attention to are:

• Performance;
• Usability;
• Security.

Why do we pick these 3 aspects as the most defining for any app? If your application has even the smallest but continuous issues with performance, usability, and security the high chances is that the users will consider it to be broken and will successfully delete it. This leads directly to reputation and revenue loss. And it is more expensive to get that customer back than to trial your app at the highest level possible. The ideal mobile app strategy consists of several approaches: unit, acceptance, regression, and exploratory testing. All of these approaches cover those crucial elements, in which mobile application testing services differ from web ones.

Wezon Mobile App Testing Service

We consider an application, which meets the requirements of the client & business and the standards of the user, to be ready to see the world. We, as professional developers and QA engineers, use all possible approaches and suit of tools not only to find the bugs also but what is more important – to fix them.

What we are working on are:

• New features which can have unintended and undesired effect on the whole system;
• Putting together all kinds of features developed by other people;
• Native mobile application testing as early in the process as possible;
• Running through the major functionality to prepare application for more detailed verification;
• Regression testing to check whether the new features do not influence the whole system of the updated application;
• Examining the application from the point of view of a user. Putting ourselves in the space of the potential users;
• Negative testing trying to find the weakest places by breaking the app, doing all things we can do which can possibly stop the app from working.

Our QA experts are doing as much as possible as we clearly understand that despite the fast-growing tendency of automated approaches, manual testing is the key to a lot of aspects. That is what improves the quality of any app. What is necessary is to be both a tester and a user. Using real devices and the platforms that your users have is incredibly important.

The developer and QA team in Wezom Mobile has customized approaches and individual techniques to any client and application for both Android and iOS devices.
