What is Mobile App Performance Testing How to
Conduct It?

• Mobile apps are everywhere and everyone is using
  them. A humongous amount of mobile apps are being
  created and launched every day. There were 230
  billion global app downloads in 2021 and about
  4000 apps on an average are added to the Google
  Play Store every day!
• But not all apps are successful. Report says 80
  of customers uninstall apps that dont meet their
  expectations.
• If you want your mobile app to stand a chance in
  this intensely crowded space, mobile app testing
  should be on your priority list.

What is Mobile App Performance Testing?

• A performance testing is a non-functional type of
  testing where the operations of the software
  rather than the behaviour of the app are tested.
  It is operated under various workloads to
  estimate its performance and improve on
  underperforming areas.
• Mobile applications are tested for functionality,
  stability and usability. A mobile application is
  tested under various scenarios to ensure that it
  works smoothly. Several aspects like its
  performance, security and UI are gauged during
  tests. Prior to the launch, it is critical to
  test a mobile app thoroughly against a number of
  parameters and metrics. Every second a customer
  spends on your app is valuable and their
  experience determines whether your app is a
  success or doomed to fail.

Workload Modelling and Types of Performance
Testing

• There are different types of performance testing
  depending upon the workload. Different workloads
  are simulated for performance testing, this
  process is called workload modelling. It is a
  critical step in the planning phase to derive the
  actual peak user load and real user activity.
• Let us look at the different types of performance
  testing.

• Stress testing tests the app behaviour under
  exaggerated scenarios where the workload is
  extremely higher than the estimate.

• Volume testing tests the app when it is
  overloaded with data.
• Load testing is when the workload is kept within
  the estimated limit but gradually increased over
  time.
• Spike testing refers to tests involving abrupt
  rises and falls in workload
• Stability testing tests the app in optimum
  workloads for an extended period.
• The scalability test estimates the ability of the
  app to scale up or down depending upon the number
  of users at a time.

Why Should You Conduct Performance Testing?

• The importance of testing cannot be stressed
  enough. Without proper testing, applications can
  go berserk and result in heavy losses. An
  application can have the best of functionalities
  but still not be successful. This is because the
  performance of an application is finally what
  decides its success.
• The App Attention Span Report suggests that the
  average user will tolerate about 34 seconds of
  delay but anything over that will result in the
  app being deleted altogether.

• Response time apart, there are also other factors
  like how the app affects the device. High battery
  consumption, memory leaks, crashes and errors all
  contribute to the overall dissatisfaction of the
  customer. It is necessary to ensure that the app
  is durable under various circumstances.
• Counting on experts to conduct mobile app
  performance testing services, ensures that your
  app is durable under various circumstances.

How to Conduct Mobile App Performance Testing?

• Mobile app performance testing is a complex and
  technical process that involves a lot of manual
  and exploratory testing. Heres a simplified
  explanation of how it goes.
• The mobile application is tested under various
  workload profiles which are simulated to test the
  application. The workloads approximate real-life
  usage scenarios. They include different user
  types by varying the number of users at a time
  and characteristics such as speed, stability,
  reliability and scalability.

• A testing environment or a testing bed is set up
  to execute the performance test. It is where the
  software, hardware and networks are assembled to
  conduct the test. The seven major steps of a
  performance test include

1. Identifying the test environment
2. Identifying performance metrics
3. Planning and designing performance tests
4. Configuring the test environment
5. Implementing the test design
6. Executing the test
7. Analyse report, retest

• These steps give a clear understanding of how a
  mobile application performs against the given
  benchmarks and standards. The response time, the
  wait time, average load time, peak response time,
  error rate, concurrent rate, requests per second,
  transactions passed/failed, and memory
  utilisation among others.
• The job of testing is mostly outsourced to mobile
  app performance testing companies and for good
  reason. They have the requisite expertise and
  access to a range of testing tools to conduct
  rigorous testing, resulting in a flawless app
  that delights the end-user.

Summing It Up

• When done perfectly, performance testing can
  ensure better engagement with customers, increase
  revenue, resolve glitches, support market claims,
  enhance scalability, and bring stability. It
  builds the responsiveness of the application and
  increases overall ROI.
