An enterprise has to invest a substantial amount initially to automate the mobile testing efforts. But the automation tools will enable QA professionals to perform the required tests within a shorter amount of time. They can further take advantage of the IDEs, test scripts and cloud-based frameworks to run tests repeatedly and deliver better test results. Also, the tools will make it easier for the users to test the application during different phases of production. The testers can further use the tools to repeat various tests under varying conditions.

DO REVIEW THE APP CODE CONSISTENTLY Nowadays, most mobile apps are developed in distributed development environments. The quality of code written by individual programmers differs. Hence, the source code of a mobile app includes both strong and weak pieces of code. The weaker pieces of code make the app vulnerable to targeted malware attacks. Many hackers take advantage of the loopholes in the app code to access sensitive user data by executing malware attacks. A business must get the source code of its mobile app reviewed consistently to prevent security threats by removing the weaker pieces of code.

Also, it must be paired seamlessly with the app installed on wearable devices. That is why; it becomes essential for business to test the application using many mobile devices. But a business cannot afford to buy and maintain a variety of mobile devices. The QA professionals must pick the right devices to address to address the challenge effectively. They must select the devices based on key parameters like screen size, resolution, version of mobile operating system, form factor, memory size and connectivity options.

The emulators further help testers to test the app across multiple devices in a quicker and more efficient way. However, the emulators cannot replace real devices in a testing environment. The testers must use emulator in the initial phases of development to speed up bug detection. They can use real devi?es su?sequently to assess the app’s fun?tionality and performance in real time scenarios.
DO OPT FOR CLOUD-BASED TESTING TOOLS AND SERVICES An enterprise can use cloud computing to create an environment to test, deploy and manage mobile apps efficiently. The cloud-based tools will enable testers to assess the application across a variety of devices. As the testers can use a pre-built and synchronized environment, it will be easier for them to reduce the defects and issues associated with unstable environment. The scalable nature of cloud environment further makes it easier for QA professionals to extend the testing environment. They can even take advantage of the pre-configured environment to test complex mobile apps rapidly and generate real-time test results.
