There are about 3.5 mln apps in Google Play Store. Users have options, and you need them to choose your app. To avoid the nightmare of every product owner, namely, the situation in which the user uninstalls your app for Android OS, performance testing is crucial. It should be started when designing the application, continued when writing the code, and ran before every new release. Some of the ways to do performance testing of Android apps are built in the OS, while others are available on the web. In this article, we list both types for your developers to be able to test the app every now and then.

Mobile testing helps mobile app developers maximize the performance of these applications. With that said, mobile testing is not a one step-operation, but rather a procedure of iterative steps that tailor the application according to user requirements.
In this article, we will discuss multiple types of mobile testing and discuss the goals and benefits of each given testing procedure.

Mobile and web applications are some of the most common types of software applications used across businesses worldwide. In this article, we will discuss the differences between mobile and web apps and explain the testing approach for both of them.

We talked to our expert from PFLB’s load testing department about financial application testing. This post shares experience of testing financial applications and transaction systems, along with some life hacks on how to choose the perfect timing for such performance tests.

Online gaming is booming, and the demand for online games will be persistent in upcoming years. The global gaming market was valued at USD 173.70 billion in 2020, and it is expected to reach a value of USD 314.40 billion by 2026. One of the important growth factors is, perhaps, the pandemic, since multiple lockdowns made people stay at homes and turn to game platforms to pass the time. But it also created unexpected load growth on gaming servers all around the world.
Obviously, in such circumstances the QA sector of load testing for online games is increasing, too. In this article, we will outline what is load testing in games, why it is an absolute must to performance test games on a regular basis, what types of performance tests are applicable in the online gamedev industry.

GoodFirms evaluated PFLB and concluded that they provide excellent testing services to their clients, whether a startup or a large, well-established company. The company is equipped with a team of developers that ensures that the latest development guidelines are followed during the development process, and product quality is maintained. The developers access the latest platforms for native and hybrid app development, which offers a maximum return to the clients. The team works closely with the clients to properly understand their ideas and business models to develop the mobile app in a way that meets their client’s vision.

Mobile games require performance testing before they hit the markets, otherwise a game built for a high-end device can get complained about by thousands of users and cause financial and reputational losses. Luckily, most key market players do realize it and run performance and load tests on a regular basis, during development, before every next release, etc., so the testing process becomes a necessary routine.

A wise man once said, Only those who do nothing make no mistakes. That is why we devote this post to mistakes often made in load and performance testing projects. This post was written not only for managers who are up to their first testing project, but also for leading engineers who have had many of them and have many stories of their own to tell.
The focus of this text is on performance testing, although there obviously may be many mistakes in any part of a complex IT project.

To launch a product, you often need several testing environments. But why? Why pile up equipment, overload engineers with tasks, and hire more staff? Is it really inevitable? We will take a closer look at this problem below, but trust us, it is.

Software testing is a crucial part in creating a successful project. By assessing every facet of the product, a developer will know if the code meets business requirements. It’s through the testing that companies increase user tolerance and improve the performance of their apps.
Having said that, testing is only as beneficial as it is efficient. There are two main approaches to testing – manual or automated. Both are critiqued and advocated all over the web, so choosing the one to fit your project is not an easy task. In this post, we’ll give you a brief rundown on the difference between them, their respective pros and cons, and the ways developers can take advantage of both.
