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.
