In a world where every tap can generate revenue — or a 1-star store review — testing an app isn’t a luxury, it’s survival. Here, at our software factory, mobile testing is a ritual: code, hardware, users, and stress working in sync to ensure the app doesn’t just work, but works well across every combination of pixels, versions, and connections.
What we test (and how we test it)
We don’t bet on “it worked on my phone.” Here, the app is stress-tested at scale before it ever reaches the real world:
Functional testing
Every flow, every button, every validation, every dark corner of the app is tested. Login, onboarding, checkout, payments, notifications — everything. Manual and automated, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Usability testing
Is the app intuitive? Does onboarding make sense? Can users complete what they’re supposed to without becoming ninjas? We observe, map the mental flow, and refine until the experience feels “obvious.”
Compatibility testing
iOS, Android, 10+ OS versions, 20+ screen resolutions, 1,000+ hardware combinations. We test on emulators, real devices, and cloud platforms (those packed with all kinds of crazy devices) to ensure the app behaves correctly on 99% of the devices users actually have.
Performance testing
How long does it take to open? To load the main screen? To sync offline data? How much battery does it consume? Metrics matter here: the app must be fast, lightweight, and efficient.
Security testing
Data validation, token protection, secure storage, protected APIs — everything goes through automated scans and manual analysis. No data leaks, no wild injections.
Connectivity testing
Offline, 2G, 4G, 5G, unstable Wi-Fi — the app must behave properly under all conditions. Does offline data sync later? Are transactions preserved? Does the user avoid random errors? That’s what really matters.
Load and stress testing
What happens with 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000 concurrent users? Can the backend handle it? Does the app freeze? We simulate peak usage and measure behavior.
Our mobile testing backbone
In our factory, testing is part of the cycle, not a final step:
Unit and integration tests in CI/CD, always.
Automated UI tests with Espresso (Android) and XCUITest (iOS).
Testing on multiple real devices and emulators.
Cloud testing (Firebase Test Lab, AWS Device Farm, BrowserStack, etc.) to cover more combinations.
Manual testing focused on complex scenarios, critical flows, and UX.
Alpha and beta testing with real users before launch.
Clear reports, with bugs classified by priority and impact.
Why is this pure nerd?
Because testing well is like assembling a thousand-piece puzzle, where each piece is a device, an OS, a configuration, a user. It’s about seeing the app from every angle, simulating real-world chaos, and confidently saying: “it’s ready, it’s secure, it performs, and it’s great to use.”
Here, testing isn’t just about finding bugs — it’s about ensuring the app delivers value, without frustration, without crashes, and without losing conversion opportunities.
