Testing Challenges for Mobile Applications: An evaluation and comparative analysis of different testing approaches

Abstract

A mobile application, sometimes known as an app, is a form of software designed to operate on a mobile device such as a mobile phone or tablet and is commonly used to deliver user services similar to those accessible on PCs. Mobile applications have become an important part of our lives, allowing us to communicate with people all over the world while sitting at home. However, these applications do more than just connect people; they also provide information, entertainment, and a way to learn new things at any time and from any location. Mobile application testing is very important before releasing any apps. However, since multimode mobile platforms such as handsets, smartphones, tablets, pads, and wearable electronics are now available, various device fragmentations, iOS platforms, and various customer specifications, mobile application testing has recently become incredibly challenging. This article provides an overview of several mobile testing approaches as well as the most recent mobile app testing challenges. In addition, we provide a testing cycle in which mobile apps are sent to clients for feedback. In this article, we also performed a survey of current mobile app users on various bugs in real-world mobile applications, which will be used as a factor in future development.
