In past mobile app users were always considered as beta testers for any launched app but now analysts strictly halts software developers to rely on beta testers for successful implementation of their apps. Software developers should implement mobile application testing before launch of any app Analysts say.
There are no doubt end users for mobile applications can be the good testers for any app when they report any bug they faced, but it can also let them think app is not bug free and cannot be useful for them. It will stop them using the app and next time they will think twice to buy an app from your side.
If you are offering a free app for download, and there are some bugs in app as well, end users already using it will leave a feedback with bug which will surely stop the other ones to download it. On the other hand if you are offering a paid app, it is the right of a consumer to demand you a bug free app and I am sure being a seller of your app, you will never prefer to lose a valuable customer.
“It is too much necessary to test an app before it is launched to get rid of drawbacks you will face, after bugs are reported by consumers. If you have not implemented mobile app testing, you can lose money and consumer both” Aapo Markkanen said. Aapo Markkanen is senior analyst ABI Research.
Software developer should strictly implement mobile application testing before the app is launched and it will save lot of things for you. If a big bug has been found after the launch, it can lead you towards the loss of money, and time you implemented for it. A single negative feedback can stop others to download your high revenue mobile app.
One thing is sure that nothing is perfect at its first launch, even if you have tested your app before launch, it can still have bugs. It depends upon the software testing methods you are applying to test your app. Shepherd a senior analyst suggests "function, security, and polish" for beneficial mobile application testing. App should be full and functional and should not leak important data from end user. Images and texts should be displayed properly attract users to use your app.
There are some principals of software engineering and software testing is one of them. If you think, you are serious about implementation of your developed app; you will need to seriously think what mobile app testing method can be really suitable for you. Most of the time software testing takes 30-40% of software development time, but if there are more complexities it can take up to 50-60%.
