2. IPHONE APPS BETA TESTING – TOP TIPS
Any application that is less than great loses the battle. Only a few feedback that describe
your application as less than good are enough to prevent visitors from downloading it.
Further, it will lower the ratings for your application at the Apple store.
Here are some options that you can consider according to your preference –
3. SIMULATORS AND REAL DEVICES
There are a number of iPhone applications simulators available at the internet but they are
actually mere browsers designed to imitate iPhone screen. The real test for your application
depends on
Network connectivity
Zooming functionality
Memory
Installation
Screen CPU
So, a simulator can never replace iPhone apps beta testing on real devices.
4. PUBLIC BETA TEST
It is a commonly used and a very credible method of testing your application. iPhone applications
public beta testing refers to the release of your application to selective groups of people
before its official launch on the store. Notable, Apple restricts the number of testing devices
to only 100.
Moreover, those devices have to be known to you as you will need the UDID.
5. TESTING APPLICATION YOURSELF
iPhone app developers are not the best persons to test his application because
he knows all the functions of the application.
However, like developers’ skills get honed with experience so do the skills of a
tester. Therefore, if you have theoretical knowledge of testing or have not
practiced it for long then you should not rely on yourself alone.
6. BETA TESTERS FEEDBACK
You have to specify to beta testers the functions on which you necessarily need
feedback and also ask them to report critical issue immediately when they
find one. Delay in reporting critical issues will leave with less time to correct
them. In case of critical issue, the running beta test has to be halted until the
issue is resolved.
