However, there are many different types of automation tools for mobile testing and automation. Some of the examples are MonkeyTalk, Frank, Calabash and KIF; these tools require a certain set of added agents for the process of collecting application code.

This makes it possible for the tools to communicate with mobile apps in a little difficult form. Moreover, this doesn’t happen with Appium testing. Appium automation testing provides an approach for running automated tests on actual devices, simulators, and emulators.

Why using an Appium automation application help?

So, users should be sure enough and test the app’s performance at this speed.

4. Have a test of the app’s work ability with other phone elements

5. App testing ought to be done with full data load for higher precision

For accurate tests, app testing should be processed in low data loads. You must stay away from high data load in practical and realistic surroundings. So, you should choose to perform a QA app test with full data load to have higher accuracy and sturdiness.

6. Legalize the UI on dissimilar sizes of screen

When the mobile test is performed to test a designing challenge shouldn’t be missed. The UI design on the screen capacity comes out to be different on the other end, especially in the case of Android phones. So, make sure your app performs continually on various sizes of the screen and test the application in a view of that.
