How Can You Do Testing To Your Own Android Mobile Application?

We develop many applications and publish them on the app store. But before publishing an app, some of them forget to follow an essential step: testing of the application. 

Software testing is application functionality checking, which includes how your application works on a different platform with different screen sizes. There are several types of testing for different types of applications, such as manual testing, compatibility testing, automated testing, and many more.

But do you know the complete process of application testing? Let's discover all about testing in this blog.

Few Things Remember For Test An Android Application Crashlytics:

Check Requirements Document

Requirement verification is the second and main process of testing.

Tester read the whole document properly and understand the client requirements. So which functionalities implemented in application these all are mentioned in SRS document(Software Requirement Specification).

Check UI(User Interface)

Tester gets all the design to finalize by clients from designer and check-in application UI is properly set as per client requirement or not.

For examples: check button size also check button clarity, labels, layout, spell, color combination etc.

Software quality engineer has to check the application user interface in different Android devices.

Check the Application’s Flow/Path

Tester gets the application wireframe document and checks the application flow is proper as per the wireframe document.

For example: after registration, it should redirect on the login screen and after login successfully it should redirect on home screen.

Following are the example of android application flow for photo editing application.

Step : (1) Application Main Screen

Step : (2) Select Image From Gallery, Facebook, Or Instagram

Step : (3) Crop Image In Different Size

Step : (4) Edit Image

Step : (5) Image Save And Share

Check Application In Online And Offline Mode

This is the main phase of android application testing. QA engineer test the application is working properly in offline(Without Internet) mode and online(With Internet) mode.

For online mode: check application in wifi and mobile network with a fast, slow, medium internet connection.

Check Apk Size

Compulsory check the application size first when the application has come for testing.

Check Application Compatibility

Compatibility is the most important part of software testing.

First tester checks the lowest compatible version and highest compatible version of an application.

After verifying highest and lowest compatibility version, tester check application is working properly as per requirements in different Android operating systems.

Check Ads

Tester check all advertises set in application. Ads are categoried by:

• Interstitial Ad
• Banner Ad
• Native Ad
• Custom Native Ad

Tester checks the advertise open and display proper, also check an application working properly with the ad.

Check The API

Check the API response is proper with high, slow, medium WiFi and mobile network.

Check the data getting from API is valid or invalid.

Check API is secure or not.

Check Application Required Permissions

QA engineer test all the permission required for an application is valid or not.

Permission List:

Crashlytics

The tester will check crashlytics is set or not for an application.

Check all issues reports updates from firebase regularly for further testing.

Conclusion

Testing consists of several types of methods to test an application or website, but you should know about Android application testing. Most of the applications are developed on this platform, so most of the projects will be for Android application testing. You can learn this process to deliver the best quality-checked applications to your customers.
