Mobile App Testing© 2014

Why should you care?

• Profit for an app is dependent on the number of users.

• A recent study by uSamp revealed:

• 71% of users delete an app that crashes.

• 59% of users delete an app for slow responsiveness.

• You need to get it right the first time.

Bugs can happen to anyone

Here’s a common bug:

• Not handling bad network connections.

FaceTime Instagram

FaceTime displays an alert that internet connectivity is required—good!

Instagram shows a large reload button on images that cannot load, which has no effect while the

network is off—bad!

Another common bug:

• Failure to validate user input.

Skype Path

Skype does not validate a user’s birth date, so a

completely bogus date can be entered.

Path has few restrictions for usernames. The

username to the right is set to a large

number of blank spaces followed by a period.
