Overview
The news and media company approached Sparity intending to improvise their app’s usability and accessibility and also to help them with the inefficiencies in their mobile application as it had to be totally compatible with most of the devices in the market, with newer OS updates, and versions coming in the marketplace. The News app required end-to-end testing services on the most widely used mobile platforms in the world — iOS and Android. Sparity QA team followed a comprehensive test strategy and performed functional testing, exploratory testing, multilingual testing, usability testing, bandwidth testing, battery usage, etc., to deliver quality apps and enhance user experience.
Challenges
Faced several technical challenges while testing the mobile application as content is being distributed from various third-party APIs. While automated testing was a critical requirement of the plan, several user flows were too complicated to automate.

using 3rd party online platforms/ simulators.
Validated new campaign from CMS app with
Splash, video, text, and poll/voting pages.
Conducted testing related to mobile camera,
audio, video, and speech to text functionalities.
Carried out full-fledged in-house testing
for top-level OS versions in the market.
