  1. Enterprise Mobile Application Testing: Approaches And Challenges Everyday, more enterprises are turning to mobile applications to streamline workflow, bolster their top-lines, and foray into new verticals and markets. However, creating an enterprise mobile application is no easy job. Apart from coding and designing the app, developers have to subject their creations to rigorous enterprise mobile application testing before the finished product is presented to the client. Organisations depend on mobile apps for processes that call for zero-errors, and if any glitch is found, they might end up ditching the entire application for good. This is why it’s necessary to make sure that the finished product is pristine and works exactly like it’s supposed to. Here are a few challenges that mobile app developers face while creating and testing enterprise apps. 1. Device Fragmentation There are countless mobile devices up for grabs nowadays. It’s quite obvious that it’s impossible to test the app on each and every mobile device out there. When you add to that the different screen sizes and processor speeds, the testing matrix becomes an unfathomable jumble of parameters that are extremely hard to measure. Developers have to ensure that the app works flawlessly on a majority of mobile devices, if not on all of them. 2. Type Of Connection

  2. What works well on a Wi-Fi connection might end up stalling horribly on a 2G or 3G connection. The aim is to make the app as light and quick as possible to allow users to run it without any glitches on any type of connection. Not all mobile carriers allow unlimited bandwidth and some even filter the content that a user can view. This may lead to certain services just appearing to be connected instead of actually establishing a connection. A situation like this can cause a lot of problems. Developers have to weigh such factors. While connection APIs are developed keeping these issues in mind, there is a probability of things not going exactly as the developer may have planned. 3. User Experience The most important aspect of enterprise mobile app development, after making sure that the app works, is ensuring that it’s easy to use. Mobile apps have to be extremely user friendly and easily adaptable to cater to the needs of every person who might interact with the app. The app needs to be designed in a way where things are easily understandable by the user and all relevant information is also conveyed effectively. 4. Battery And Processor Load Some apps drain a lot of battery and use unnecessary amounts of processor speed even when they aren’t active. This is definitely not an ideal situation. Developers need to make sure that the app does not hamper other functions of the mobile device or cause unnecessary load on the processor. 5. OS Fragmentation Different mobile devices run on different operating systems, and each of these operating systems also have different versions running on various devices. Even if developers make sure that the app runs smoothly on the latest version of the OS, they also need to consider that not everyone using the app will be running the same version on their devices. This is by far the biggest challenge of the mobile development process after device fragmentation. As you can see, there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make sure that your app functions like it should. Developers need to be extra careful every step of the way to make sure that their efforts don’t fall short.
