The use of mobiles has largely increased in the last few years. Now, mobiles are a complete source of information about everything. There are different mobile apps available for the users to facilitate their transaction, purchase, gaming etc even more effective. Before launching the mobile app in the market it is very important to test the app to reduce the chances of its rejection. Designing the right strategy to test the mobile app, selection of right devices and mobile stimulators is very important for effective mobile testing.
Mobile app testing is a procedure to test mobile apps for usability, functionality and consistency on different mobile devices. Generally, a mobile user uses different types of apps in a normal schedule. For example, there are apps for playing live games (quite a popular app), making bank transactions, ordering food, shopping grocery or clothing, booking a taxi or flight etc. There is always a need for huge space on the mobile device. It is important for the user to choose the most wanted and good quality apps as they consume a large amount of space on the mobile phone. The quality of the app is the most effective factor that is mainly responsible for the app's success and it can be only completed with the help of mobile app testing.
