Application Testing (full test) - StraboSpot/strabo-mobile GitHub Wiki

Application Testing

Testing the app is an important task to ensure the usability and functionality, according to design, is successful. Application testing should be preformed upon new versioning before (using Adobe PhoneGap Build) and after deployment to the App store (Apple) or Play Store (Google). If one or more checks fail then an issue must be started with as specific as possible description of the failure and the steps taken to arrive at the failure.

The main testing parameters will include:

  • Device Checks- These are characteristics that are related to the device on which the app is installed.
  • Network Checks
  • App Specific Checks- These are things to check that have to do with the specific functionality that is frequently used in an app.
  • User Interface Checks

Please perform the checks in the following areas and submit an issue when needed. The checks don’t have to be executed in the order they are given.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us at [email protected].

If you find a problem with the app please click the Issues button above and fill out a ticket.

  • Can the app be installed on the device?
  • Does the app behave as designed/desired if there is an incoming SMS, call, or local message from another app?

Network Specific Check

  • Does the app behave according to specification if connected to the internet through Wi-Fi? 3G? 2G?
    • if No, explain:
  • Does the app behave according to specification if it is out of network reach?
  • Does the app resume working when it gets back into network reach from outside reach of the network?
  • Does the app still work correctly when tethering or otherwise connected to another device
