Mobile app testing software offers developers a toolkit to test their mobile applications for performance, functionality, and usability. Before mobile applications are published, individual developers and teams must conduct tests to ensure consistency—even something as simple as ensuring that an app is downloadable from its intended platform must be tested. Mobile app testing software combines both automation and manual tools to provide a complete testing environment for mobile applications. Some mobile app testing software is geared toward conducting specific types of tests, while other products grant access to a wide range of testing capabilities under one dashboard. Depending on the needs of a given development team and the software used, mobile app testing software can either be integrated with the app development process throughout production or as a product is nearing completion. Agile teams utilizing iterative DevOps practices will test early and often as their product evolves, while others such as solo developers may take a “build first, test later" approach. Either way, mobile app testing software provides teams with in-depth analyses regarding multiple facets and components of their application. This analysis might, for example, inform developers of whether their app will successfully allow users to receive calls while using the app. With each change made to the application during development, such functionality must be tested to ensure quality; mobile app testing software features automation to run tests and analyses, allowing developers to focus on other tasks. Mobile app testing software also provides feedback and actionable insight as a starting point for developers to work off of when results are not up to par. In some cases, mobile app testing software generates an emulated user environment upon which developers conduct usability and functionality testing. Such products will present developers with a mocked version of their application running within the relative dimensions of a mobile device, allowing teams to run tests via their desktop or other non-mobile screen. These emulated instances often give developers an enlarged view of a typical mobile screen, which enhances overall visibility and grants a higher level of granularity when focusing on an application’s visual elements and user interface (UI). When run on devices with a mouse and keyboard, this software will treat the cursor like a human finger and provide methods to emulate multi-touch scenarios so that the full scope of the application can be explored and tested. Other mobile app testing software functions directly via mobile devices, allowing developers to get a better idea of the to-scale look and feel of their applications. This view is a helpful supplement to desktop emulation because certain UI elements and buttons might seem clear when enlarged, but turn out to be less usable on an actual phone screen. Emulators also tend to miss hardware-specific issues that natively-run testing can catch—though with such a wide variety of mobile devices on the market, it can be costly and time consuming to use real devices for testing. Regardless, these tools give developers a better idea of what their users will actually experience when using and navigating their applications. Mobile app testing software often allows developers to transition seamlessly between this emulated frontend usability testing and backend functionality testing to provide teams with a complete testing framework. Key Benefits of Mobile App Testing Software - Tests vital application performance and functionality to ensure quality predeployment - Automates aspects of testing and analysis to free up development time and resources - Provides developers with actionable insight after performing analyses ### Why Use Mobile App Testing Software? Mobile application development is complex; each iterative change made to an application during development presents the potential for lost functionality or subpar performance. Even aesthetic changes made to the user-facing elements of an application must be tested for usability. Mobile app testing software gives developers a range of testing capabilities that allow them to assess each element of their applications. These products even automate tests to alleviate development workloads and remove human error when assessing an application’s many facets. It is important to note that some products focus on one or a few types of testing, while others provide a full suite. **Functionality testing —** Developers use mobile app testing software to determine whether their applications are operating according to requirements and per the developers’ intentions. This type of testing typically involves emulation or natively run instances of the application so that teams can assess whether the UI is functioning correctly. **Performance testing —** Mobile app testing software allows developers to test their app’s performance relative to desired benchmarks. Performance can be tested under specific conditions, such as when a user has a low battery or when a high volume of users are attempting to access the application’s server simultaneously. Such tests run natively on a device that meets the desired test condition or conditions can be simulated. **Usability testing —** Developers leverage mobile app testing software to assess the usability of their applications. This type of testing is qualitative as opposed to quantitative and involves either emulation or natively run instances of an application on various devices. Developers then interact with their application as a user would, allowing them to examine factors such as user experience consistency across all devices. Usability testing is also crucial for developers to maximize their products’ accessibility. **Interruption testing —** Mobile app testing software often allows developers to analyze whether their application is able to handle common interruptions inherent to mobile use. Incoming and outgoing calls and SMS, notifications, and cable insertion or removal are just some of the many interruptions that regularly occur during mobile device use while an application is running. In all cases, developers use mobile app testing software to ensure that their application properly suspends and resumes in response to these interruptions. **Security testing —** Developers can sometimes use mobile app testing software to make security assessments as they relate to their applications. Hacking vulnerabilities, data security, and more can be tested by mobile app testing software with this functionality. ### Who Uses Mobile App Testing Software? Mobile app testing software provides developers with crucial test capabilities for several facets of their software applications. Proper handling of these tests sometimes requires oversight from specific team members with the right knowledge to make assessments. However, even solo developers benefit from mobile app testing software. **Development teams—** The most common users of mobile app testing software are development teams building mobile applications. Teams use mobile app testing software to ensure quality across all elements of their application before publishing it. These teams often coordinate testing by assigning different team members to conduct and assess different tests. **Solo developers —** Solo developers working on a personal or business project use mobile app testing software for the same reason that development teams do. While solo developers may not be able to dole out tasks to different team members, they still rely on the pre-publication assurance provided by these tools. **Quality assurance (QA) testers —** Some development teams hire QA testers specifically to perform usability testing with mobile app testing software. QA testers provide an outside perspective while navigating simulated or native instances of an application, which grants a more objective assessment of whether an application’s UI is intuitive. **Cybersecurity professionals —** Some development teams employ cybersecurity professionals to assess an application’s overall security via mobile app testing software. These professionals typically have a better understanding of the potential vulnerabilities and threats facing an application than the average developer. ### Mobile App Testing Software Features **Automation —** Mobile app testing software automates many elements of the testing process to alleviate developer workload and save time. These tools make testing easier by allowing developers to automatically run certain tests whenever a change is made to the application, for example. **Test feedback —** Developers using mobile app testing software to run backend performance and for stress testing can rely on these tools to provide actionable insight after running tests. This feedback gives developers a jumping off point when working to resolve issues or optimize their application after testing. **Test history —** Most mobile app testing software maintains a history of test logs. This allows developers to track development progress and reference past test results when necessary. **Device emulation —** Most mobile app testing software allows developers to emulate application environments based on a variety of mobile devices. With a multitude of devices available to users on the market, this allows developers to ensure that their app is working as intended across as many devices as possible without having to purchase those devices physically. **Test management —** Mobile app testing software allows teams to manage their tests by assigning tasks to appropriate team members, scheduling tests, and more. ### Software and Services Related to Mobile App Testing Software [**Mobile development platforms**](https://www.g2.com/categories/mobile-development-platforms) **—** Mobile development platforms give developers a single environment possessing all the tools developers need to create a mobile application.
