Testers Make Use Of Social Media To Test Apps


ď ś The key to the success of mobile application depends on user acceptance and customer feedback. Lately, mobile apps have taken a leap into a new time of rapid user feedback due to the use of social media.

ď ś Users and customers post negative and positive feedbacks on the app stores, then there are social sites like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and so on where people post their likes and dislikes about the app.


ď ś Apps get effecting due to these feedbacks and reviews, positive feedbacks will make the app go a long way, whereas a negative one will not be considered for a download by the users, these feedbacks play a very significant role in deciding which app will make it to the top and which won’t.


Testers Point Of View In These Cases:

 There comes a need to provide the project with any information that could be helpful, to make a good case happen.  Functional verification checks are important, yet not sufficient. Testers also need to consider the non-functional elements of the app equating to success and risk.  It is found that testing non-functional aspects is harder than testing functional aspects.


 Everything can’t be tested by us; hence testers need to use strategies like risk-based, mathdriven, and experienced-based exploratory testing supported by test attacks to efficiently provide information to the project team at the earliest times possible. Request

 Early testing is most important for mobile apps as most teams use agile or DevOps lifecycles and testers must work within the project’s lifecycle.


Usability

ď ś Though it may not look like it, but the bad case of social media exposure provides useful information for the tester also. After the apps deployed, the testers can use the feedbacks on the social media sites to improve its usability.

ď ś These days, launching a successful mobile application is no easy task. And whether anyone likes it or not, but social media brings on an onslaught of the good the bad and the ugly. Obviously, we hope for good, as the word-ofmouth is something that will increase the apps visibility as well as it will make or break the app. ď ś Positive reviews will turn the app to must-have and bad reviews will permanently spoil the apps reputation. ď ś There are many ways used for testing but using social media to improve the test strategy should not be overlooked as a viable tactic.
