Mobile Testing

Functional Testing

Functional testing checks if the mobile application behaves according to its specified requirements. It involves verifying core functionalities such as user interactions, data processing, and navigation. Key tests include unit testing, system testing, UI testing, integration testing, and regression testing.

Performance Testing

Performance testing assesses the speed, stability, and responsiveness of a mobile application under varying conditions. It includes load testing, stress testing, network performance testing, battery usage, memory consumption, and CPU utilization.

Usability Testing

Usability testing is a mobile testing type that evaluates the user-friendliness of a mobile application by focusing on the overall user experience, ease of navigation, and design clarity. Key areas include checking the layout, readability, touch gestures, and accessibility.

Security Testing

This is a type of mobile testing that aims to uncover vulnerabilities, risks, and weaknesses in a mobile application. It involves testing for issues like data leakage, encryption failures, insecure storage, and potential threats from malware or hackers. Authentication, authorization, data protection, and session management are key areas of focus.

Compatibility Testing

Compatibility testing ensures that a mobile application performs consistently across various devices, operating systems, screen sizes, and configurations. It checks how the app interacts with different hardware components, software environments, and mobile browsers.
