- Verify that the device type doesn’t put any limitations on the software under testing.
- Check whether the software doesn’t influence the overall device performance.
- Make sure that the stated software is technically most suitable for the users’ devices.
- When choosing the most suitable devices to conduct mobile testing on, choose the most popular models with most popular environment (OS version, preinstalled software etc.).
- Pay special attention to the verification whether the software is usable. Usability testing is a good solution.
- Test the software’s performance.
- Sometimes exploratory testing can be a good way of guiding the overall testing process.
- Combine several types of software testing in order to get the maximum profitable testing result.
