The importance of testing cellular applications

The importance of testing cellular applications is no longer a subject of discussion because more and more businesses are now understanding their commercial success the same as the quality of their software. Living in the era of new cellular applications appears almost every day, consumers are accustomed to experimenting with new products and easily switching from companies that fail to invest in the quality of their software right. With the demands of customers regarding the highest of all time, developers, testers, designers, and business owners of front-minded technology looking for options to improve their manual software testing kit and try new tools that help reduce boring and time-consuming routines.


As a full cycle software testing company, the Satizon knows what is needed to test the Android application as a whole. We are proud to announce that the Sapizon released its first product - Bug Hunter - a manual Android application testing tool with the number of optimal features, intuitive design, and fast onboarding.

In this article, we will talk about the challenges of most QA engineers who are encountered when testing the Android application, how bug hunters solve this problem, and what features make bug hunters stand out from a similar application crowd.


Why testing android application might be tough

Many versions of Android OS and custom ROMs

The Android OS is an open-source project, which provides sufficient flexibility developers to build its core functionality and implement new features. Although Google's intention to keep the open source code worthy of respect and admiration, it creates the main discomfort for Android software testers who must now deal with all the many Android OS versions made by a technology manufacturer and passionate Android developer. Depends on the specific version of the Android OS version, the same application can appear differently; Therefore, QA engineers need to know the characteristics of the OS to write the right test case. Checking device details may not look like a big problem because all you need to do is go to the phone settings, scroll down to system settings, and tap info about your phone. However, these simple steps increase the number of repetitive manual action software testers need to be done to test the application as a whole, which in turn kills productivity and efficiency. Of course, you can also install a special application that will show you advanced information about your mobile specifications, but it's convenient to keep switching between several interfaces when testing?


Limited potential of cellular technology

At present, we cannot imagine life through regular working days without using a smartphone. Giants Tech Worldwide has made a big step in optimizing cellphone capacity and applying unique features. This is why more and more people experiment with their work in cellular ways. However, let's come real here. Despite following the latest technology trends and improving your mobile device regularly may seem like a cup of your tea, no Android users do the same. The latter implies that most consumers can use older or cheaper devices with limited hardware resources, which directly affect application performance. Therefore, if the company released the target of Android products, the QA engineer needs to consider all the hardware specifications of the selected device. Many application errors, crashes, or traffic jams can be produced from insufficient RAM or ROM memory, or other peculiarities of mobile processors. As with many Android OS versions, the need for cellular software testers to check the specifications of hardware on some devices.


Testing compliance with the UI layout with Mockup design

Often, testing the UI layout application is most of all QA Android engineer work. Inaccuracy in the UI is one of the first things to be found by your users, and that is why the UI / UX component testing is absolutely necessary to prevent all the reactions on Google Playent Comments. Obviously, Android application testers cannot only rely on their eyes and therefore use special tools to achieve the right results. While some mistakes may be quite clear, such as text display on distorted buttons, the font color is wrong, and the wrong icon of the place, other problems may be somewhat smooth, such as negative space that is inconsistent between the same design element or the wrong element of the elements The same or wrong UI.

The dilemma of many QA cellular engineers facing in this case is a manual application testing tool which must be chosen to be more productive and minimize the number of repetitive actions. It is also very disappointing to spend a lot of time learn how to use tools just to find out later that it doesn't have some basic features, regardless of its strong function, or just not comfortable to use. One more common scenario uses several applications on some devices just to test one Android application, which might also be rather boring because of the constant alternating movements.


How hunter bugs handle challenges

The popularity of cellular devices grows every day, producing 3.5 million smartphone users today, which is why a lot of work we do is related to testing the mobile application. Sapizon has provided software testing services since 2005, and for years, we have accumulated enough experience to elaborate all obstacles to the QA facial engineer when testing the Android application.

Being a technician in the heart, we solve problems with the help of technology, so we decided to build an application that would help Android developers, cellular qa engineers, and UI / UX designers work much more efficient by cutting down their monotonous routines. From the start, we know that the application must include the most common user scenario, requires a minimum of user action, and is easily studied and used every day. So, these are the features we make.
