Mobile application testing is a procedure used to test applications built for mobile devices. The main objectives are to test the apps’ usability, stability, and functionality.
Mobile application testing is essential for an app to survive in the market today. The application is also evaluated in terms of several other factors, such as its performance, security, and user interface, to guarantee the highest quality for the end users.
In addition, adding new features to mobile apps makes them very vulnerable. With the support and skills of Canarys QA engineers, you can evade the potential challenges each time you integrate a new API or SDK or add new elements. We ensure to minimize workflow imbalance in the application appearing as a result of even a small change.
Canarys follows three types of mobile application testing.
They are:
Native Apps
The focus of testing the mobile applications is restricted to one operating system (OS). Our testing approach here will be limited to the operating system, which supports the application and will be focused on faster and more reliable in terms of performance.
Web apps
Web apps are comparable to native apps, with the sole exception that they can be used on mobile devices through a web browser. It relies entirely on the device’s browser but has low development costs.
Hybrid Apps
We combine native and web-based applications to build hybrid apps. They use a web view control to display the HTML and JavaScript files in full-screen mode. Even though they are easy to create and affordable, these apps lack the speed and power of native apps.
It’s time to start automating your mobile application’s test cases if you have been running the same tests for each new release to save time, increase ROI, and reduce labor costs. To accomplish this, you should spend money on a tool that enables automation within your mobile application.
Canarys techniques of testing Mobile Applications:
While testing mobile apps, testers need various testing skills and techniques to find as many defects as possible in different environments and scenarios. Here are some key mobile testing types and techniques for QA members to get started:
Functional Testing
It checks whether an application’s functions are working correctly. This testing focuses on the functioning of the app according to requirements.
Compatibility Testing
It is a non-functional type of testing used to ensure that the app works seamlessly in different operating systems, devices, network environments, and specific internal hardware specifications.
Usability Testing
Usability testing checks the user-friendliness of an app in terms of use and intuitiveness. It helps identify bugs to improve customer experience.
Performance Testing
Performance testing checks how an app behaves or performs under a particular load.
Security Testing
Security testing prioritises the security of users’ personal data and tests app behaviour under various device permission requests.
Input Testing
A mobile tester should perform various input actions on the device while testing a mobile app, such as:
- Multi-finger inputs to test all the finger gestures supported by the app
- Voice inputs to test whether the app can process inputs correctly with external noise
- Sensor inputs include a variety of sensors such as ambient light sensors, acceleration sensors, proximity sensors, Gyroscopes, pressure sensors, magnetic sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, etc.
Installation Testing
Installation testing checks whether an app is installed and uninstalled properly. It also ensures that app updates are working smoothly.
Exploratory Testing
Exploratory testing is used to explore various functionalities and usability of the app to find key errors and ensure that the app really works as intended.
Automated Testing
Automated testing is used for regression testing or where the situation demands repetitive tasks. It helps in assuring app quality and fast releases.
Storage Testing
Storage testing tests how an app performs its storage related functionalities. There are functionalities where the application has to either store some data on the hard disk, retrieve it from there or delete it. It also tests how the app behaves when there is no or low storage in a device.
Interrupt Testing
On average, a mobile user may receive 50-80 interruptions per day from push notifications which can become overwhelming. Interrupt testing helps analyze the disturbances caused by these interruptions and find solutions to offer a smooth mobile experience. The interruptions can be in various forms, including low/full battery, alarm, push notifications, incoming call/SMS, etc. A tester must consider the UI issues, app crashes, and performance issues while interrupting testing.
Apart from this, there are many other techniques that a tester should perform, such as:
- Battery Usage Testing
- Beta Testing
- Standby Testing
- Hardware Specific Testing
- Local Storage Testing
- Installations & Update Testing
Canarys Test Strategy for testing Mobile Applications:
- Selection of the device for testing: real devices, emulators, or simulators
- Cloud-based testing of the mobile application
- Documentation testing, which includes the creation and analysis of specific requirements
- Functional testing to check the basic functionality of the app as per the requirements
- Compatibility testing involving cross-platform, cross-browser, database, device configuration, and network configuration testing
- Performance testing involving load, stress, stability, volume, and concurrency testing
- Security testing
- Certification testing to check whether the app meets the standards, terms of use, licensing agreements, etc.
Canarys is partnered with Lambdatest, the leader in providing cross-browser and Real Devices for mobile testing to offer seamless test solutions to our clients.

Architecture Testing
We assess each design component and ensure to identify all glitches, including those involving structures, links, color schemes, layout, alignment, navigation, responsiveness, etc.
User experience Testing
An outsourcing company would only dare to pay attention to the app’s usability, whether web-based or mobile-based. After all, if a product’s usability isn’t high enough, users will switch.
Content Assessment
Typing errors, poor grammar, fuzzy phrases, and unconventional writing style can significantly decrease an app’s aesthetic to its target audience. Our team carefully considers and evaluates all aspects to fix them beforehand.
Continuity Checks
An app should look great, whether web, native, or hybrid. Our tech teams test the apps on various platforms to certify them as compatible.
Regression Testing
Regression testing is strongly advised from a test perspective to ensure that a recent change hasn’t negatively impacted the app’s functionality and performance.
