Test Improvement 4 Mobile
A mobile app is a completely different platform than a desktop application, not only in technology, but also in experience. The needs of the end user determine the success of the app. But how can you best involve an end user in the (continued) development of an app? And is the organization adequately equipped for this?
Towards successful mobile app testing
Many organizations are transitioning to a mobile platform. With the switch also comes the demand for a mobile, a mobile-first or sometimes even a mobile-only strategy. Successful mobile app testing requires a different set of knowledge and skills. With the TI4Mobile approach, Polteq provides insight into the current maturity level of and advice for growing to the desired ambition level for mobile app testing.
Mobile app challenges
- How do you deal with market dynamics, new users, new smartphones, new platforms, competing functionality?
- How do you deal with trends, when does the tester experiment with new technology and what is the impact?
- How do you handle reviews and feedback?
- How quickly can you bring updates to market?
- How does the app function in the user’s environment and how does a user experience the quality?
How does the organization deal with these challenges? To answer this, an assessment using our TI4Mobile model helps.
TI4Mobile assessment
This assessment analyses how the organization deals with mobile app challenges. To gain insight into your current situation, we look at the organization based on eight focus areas (“key areas”).
This will help establish the place and role of testing in the mobile app development cycle. The assessment is a crucial step in determining where the organization stands within the various components of the TI4Mobile model. This reveals the improvement potential of the organization and the required effort in time, money and attention needed to grow further.
Improvement Advice
During the preliminary intake, the goal (time, money or quality) of the assessment is determined. This objective guides the analysis of the current and desired situation. The key areas that contribute the most to the objective are highlighted, making it clear what concrete improvements can be made by the organization. The improvement suggestions consist of quick wins that can be implemented tomorrow as well as short- and medium-term measures to bring your organization to the desired maturity level. The possible improvements are arranged in a logical order so that the implementation of measures can begin immediately.
