• It is always essential to give an excellent user
  experience to a customer in the case of operating
  a successful business, the trend of using a smart
  phone is growing every day, and Smartphones come
  with different and latest features, Although it
  takes a lot of creativity and hassle to design
  and program an application for Android OS, the

• When a company launches a product or software, we
  should assess whether it serves the sole purpose
  of the end user. Marketplaces for Smartphones
  are extremely important these days, since these
  phones have become incredibly popular among the
  world's population.

• Mobile applications are concentrated on explicit
  functionality to proffer an upgraded user
  experience, to make mobile application or a game
  it takes a lot of efforts and there are huge
  costs involved in the same, a slightest of flaw
  on the part of the product can prove hazardous
  for its valuable health. Since developing these
  applications is an intricate process and involves
  lot of errors in coding. Testing is a technique
  to remove these hidden bugs in the application
  developed.

Challenges Faced During Mobile Application
Testing

• Its difficult to position the images on the
  screen of smart devices because of its varied
  display size.
• Runtime Environments are varied available on
  mobile devices like Binary Runtime Environment
  for Wireless, Java etc brings the need for
  Testing
• The Processing speed and memory vary from hand
  held device to other which leads to variations in
  performance of applications.
• Inconsistent data transfers are due to numerous
  network bandwidths that are available, which lead
  to inconsistent data transfers and affects the
  performance of applications.

• Mobile Application Testing is not a easy task as
  it requires testing across different devices,
  handsets, carriers, languages and locations, it
  aims at assess the characteristic or ability of
  an app and provides the results as expected.
• To provide an exceptionally enhanced experience
  to the user the mobile application should undergo
  different types of testing.

Types Of Mobile Application Testing

• Unit Testing
• Integration Testing
• Performance Testing
• System Testing
• Regression Testing
• GUI Testing
• Security Testing
• Compatibility Testing
• Synchronization Testing

• In case of mobile application testing, involving
  users is a way that brings in a new approach to
  your application, a matter of app testing is such
  that the person involved in the whole process
  from the beginning has a single mind devoted
  towards developing it and this might be tough for
  him to apply a fresh approach in testing.
• Most of the testing takes place after each and
  every requirement is fulfilled and the coding
  process is completed, Application testing can be
  carried out at any point of time during the
  development process, it is essential for the
  developer to test the application on varied
  devices that will ensure its functional
  brilliance.
