App Testing
App testing for more success with users
First Impressions of an App Matter
The initial experience of installing an app can greatly influence its success with users. Professional app testing, conducted by a team of certified and trained testers, helps ensure your app performs well from the start. According to Statista, there are currently (2024) around 5 million mobile apps in the three top app stores, i.e. Google Play, Apple App Store and Amazon App Store, which are used for various purposes in everyday life.
User expectations are high, and even the first impression can be pivotal. If an app fails to work smoothly upon installation, users may quickly uninstall it and turn to competing apps just a few clicks away. Effective app testing can help prevent this outcome.
Comprehensive app testing for Optimal Quality
Comprehensive and external app testing ensures the highest possible quality at every stage of the development process. This is the only way to discover and rectify errors in good time.
Our team ensures consistent quality throughout the entire process freeing developers to focus on core tasks. Our testing approach includes the most widely used smartphones and tablets to mirror the experience of most potential users, covering native, hybrid, and web apps alike.
We support you with test planning and advise you on the best possible quality assurance. In this way, we will find the right test method for each development phase.
Five Services for your manual app testing
With our services for your manual app testing, you will achieve a higher quality of your app at lower costs. We will not only provide you with information on functionality, but also on the user-friendliness and performance of your app. This is important for you to assess the quality of your app.
There are four offers, or test phases, for app tests. The first 4 offers relate to mobile app testing and the fifth offer relates to security testing. To ensure a positive user experience, apps should go through all five phases.
With functional tests, we ensure that all functions can be executed without any problems and that the app runs technically flawlessly even after revisions. The excellent functionality of your app is crucial for its success.
The functionality of your app should be tested by as many users as possible to cover as many potential test conditions as possible. We may find errors if two different users test the same function but get different results.
With the help of usability testing, our tester team simulates typical user behavior to assess if users can navigate the app effectively, efficiently, and satisfactorily.
The look, workflow and interaction of your app are factors that give your end users a first impression of your app. Design consistency is crucial for user adoption, so we evaluate whether your app aligns with its original design guidelines.
Performance testing means that we monitor the speed, data and battery consumption of your digital products for you during each test run. We also check responsiveness and screen load times.
During compatibility testing, our team of testers checks whether the app can be run on different devices and operating systems. This is necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of your app for all users.
Security testing of mobile applications is of the utmost importance. We analyse your app for vulnerabilities to prevent potential attacks. We also check whether all processed data is secure and whether laws and guidelines are complied with.
App testing process
Our structured testing process coordinates with you on all user cases to mitigate potential risks.
- Test planning: Establishes the technical and content requirements for your app.
- Documentation and specifications: Product documentation and specifications guide our test planning, execution, and scheduling. Our team conducts thorough testing across varied use cases.
When is manual testing beneficial?
Does manual testing make sense and if so, when? We will answer this question now.
Alttough there are many tools and frameworks for test automation, not everything can and should be automated. In some cases, it is better and more favourable to carry out tests manually. Below we briefly describe some situations in which manual tests may be necessary.
Manual app testing is a very good alternative if you need to run tests immediately without spending time setting up and maintaining test automation.
For frequently updated products, manual testing is preferable as test automation is only feasible when basic functions are stable.
If you want to test your product with users to find out how well they get on with the user interface and what their user experience is like, then manual testing is the right solution. Automated tests are based on predefined scenarios and only provide yes or no answers.
The validation of user stories can usually only be tested manually.
The functionality must be checked and verified in accordance with the documentation provided. This requires a manual approach.
If the structure of the app is complex, test automation is not suitable. Manual testing is the most suitable and reliable approach for complex structures. Especially if external systems or devices need to be triggered, test automation is not always possible or financially viable.
Testing in real-life conditions, such as varying network strengths or location-based services, ensures your app performs reliably in diverse situations.
