We don’t even need a moment to gather which operating system is the most used one. Android development is a booming business because of the number of users it has. It is open source and its development can be ported across devices with relative ease. Plus, it has good backwards compatibility across versions. And, precisely due to this diversity, the need for testing on many devices is paramount.

Needless to say, there has been significant growth in the usage of web-sites to gain information in the past few years. Consequently, there has also been an increase in the range of channels or media through which these websites are accessed. When we speak about the medium, we talk about the variety of devices (desktop and handheld), the different types of browsers that the users use to access these websites, etc.

A mobile application is more than just an application for businesses today. Some businesses, such as Uber that rely heavily on their mobile application for business, earned over 1 billion USD in the fourth quarter of 2020. On the other hand, some companies like Facebook, are seeing their mobile app usage grow as much as 67% year on year. With a widening gap between mobile browsers and mobile applications, users are spending 90% of their overall mobile internet time on mobile applications.

Most of the applications being developed today have complex requirements. Hence, they need to be tested thoroughly and for each use-case, before they are ready to be deployed in the production server. We all know how important it is to perform unit testing on separate modules or “units of codes”.

With the rising competition in the app industry, mobile testing without automation seems out of the picture. You can’t imagine frequent deployments or a faster time to market without automating your tests. There are plenty of automation tools and frameworks available in the market for both Android and iOS. In this article, we will discuss some of the best mobile automation testing tools that can help you in releasing quality apps on time. 1.

The world isn’t new to the mobile-first approach. Call it convenience or anything else — people are consuming content on their mobile phones more than their desktops and this will only increase in the near future. According to Statista, at least 50% of global online traffic is driven by mobile users. We were going through Adobe Retail Shopping Insights (2020) and found out that more than 42% of consumers have done their holiday shopping via smartphones.

Mobile applications these days have become imperative for businesses. But mobile applications are not just another version of desktop applications. Mobile applications are as much different from desktop applications as mobile devices are different from desktop machines. Mobile applications, therefore, need to be built and tested with this difference in consideration. Following are a few things to consider when testing a mobile application: 1.

The world of automation testing is rapidly evolving and we need to keep up with the pace. It’s no rocket science that the demand for automation testing is massive — according to Markets & Markets, the automation testing market size is projected to grow from $12.6B to $28.8B by 2024, globally. For businesses to be more agile and work with an unmatchable speed, cloud testing is crucial.

With the latest developments in IT sector services, the sector of QA testing has seen significant improvement and growth. The implementation of emerging technologies has helped improve the process of software development, testing, design and deployment. With all of these processes in place, cost optimization is also a high concern for organizations worldwide. Many changes are rendered through automated testing.
