Testers Make Use Of Social Media To Test Apps

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 wont.

• 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 cant be tested by us hence testers
  need to use strategies like risk-based,
  math-driven, and experienced-based exploratory
  testing supported by test attacks to efficiently
  provide information to the project team at the
  earliest times possible.

• Early testing is most important for mobile apps
  as most teams use agile or DevOps lifecycles and
  testers must work within the projects lifecycle.

Usability

• 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.

  on-going task and testers use it for both, their
  projects and career-building activity.

• 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-of-mouth
  is something that will increase the apps
  visibility as well as it will make or break the
  app.

• Positive reviews will turn the app to must-have
  and bad reviews will permanently spoil the apps
  reputation.

• There are many ways used for testing but using
  social media to improve the test strategy should
  not be overlooked as a viable tactic.
