Why Mobile Application Testing Needs to be Performed in Different Networks Environment?

There are many mobile network simulator tools available in the market which allow you to test your application in different network conditions. But to see what the users experience in reality we need to test how our application behaves in a perfect network or a slow network.

Causes of Network Variability

1. Signal Loss: There are various dead spots on a network that leads to a partial or total loss of network signal. This also results in loss of client server communication.

2. Data loss over a Network: When the data packets sent by client/server over a network fail to reach the intended destination because of network congestion then data loss occurs.

3. Network delay and jitter: The time taken by each packet from source to the intended destination is defined as network delay.

Use Network Emulators to test real network conditions

1. Network emulators is one of the best mobile application testing solution that would assess the impact of network variation on a mobile application’s functionality in a controlled lab environment.

2. Network emulators are perfect solutions for creating different types of mixed or complex networks.

3. There is no need of cable, aerial masks, mobile devices and corporate networks for achieving the best coverage.

Test Application Programming Interface of APIs using Postman

API is an Application Programming Interface. It is used to establish communication and data exchange between two software systems. A software system implementing an API consists of various functions and sub-routines which can be executed by another software system.

In API Testing, you use software to send calls to the API, get output, and note down the system's response.

API Architecture: API calls collection includes mainly two things:

1. HTTP headers: HTTP headers are always dependent on your application.

2. HTTP Request: There are mainly four types of requests.

What is Postman?

Postman is used to fire requests to an API. It is available as add-in on Chrome and also available for Mac application.  It is very fast in response and also light weight which puts no impact on browser performance...

Achieve Fruitful Results! By Maximizing Test Coverage in Less Time

To make sure everything is tested in the best possible way and the software you ship is the best possible quality. For all such you need to maximize your test coverage. Gathers the details about which parts of a program are actually executed when running the test set to improve the test case efficiency.

Few tips that can help you maximize your test coverage:

1. Understand your business aim: Before test cases designing, understand the point of the software you are going to test. Talk to the end user and try to find what is most important to end users.
2. Communication: You should talk directly to the developers about what are the new functionalities they are going to deliver with each release. You will get a fair idea to focus your efforts on the next test.
