With the country entering into a digital era the usage of mobile phones have increased large extent. This indicates that even the number of applications have increased and customers have a wide range of variety to choose from. In this large pool of applications, it is necessary that the right and best-suited ones reach the consumer.

Mobile Application Testing

Testing of application software is done to check how well it functions and what benefits can it provide to its consumer over a long period of time. It reduces the error and allows to deliver better results to the society. It ensures that the application is acceptable on all OS as the society has accepted a diverse range of operating systems such as Android and iOS.

The importance of mobile testing is increasing on a day-to-day basis due to new varieties of handsets and difference in their functionality.

Challenges in the process of development of Mobile Application and its testing

• The most common challenge is to be well adapted to all types of mobile devices having different OS, screen size, speed data and input controls etc.
• Due to resolution difference, there is a chance that the application is not supported on certain devices. Thus, the coding can be done to suit different devices according to their resolution. In case the app is not in-built it should be made available on stores for the users to download the same.
• Data consumption is also taken care of under mobile testing. Under this segment, the tester checks the amount of data consumed by the application. If the application tends to use a lot of data the user might not download the app.
• The battery life of the mobile device is very important for the user, hence any application should undergo performance test or it might become one of the apps that drains the mobile batteries rapidly.

With a large number of devices, it is quite impossible to find a one-stop solution for mobile testing hence these testers use a combination of methods to ensure the functionality. There are many developers in the market with different software ideas, but only those who are able to crack the mobile application testing challenges will sustain in the market
