Mobile Testing Job Opportunities

Mobile testing is booming, and that's a good thing! But with multiple operating systems and tens of thousands of devices on the market, how can you ensure your app delights your users everywhere, every time, at every turn?

Applause is the latest tool which arms you with a 360° approach to mobile app quality to win in today's ultra-competitive apps economy. From in-the-wild testing services and mobile app quality tools, Applause makes it easier than ever to create winning mobile apps every time.

In-the-Wild Testing
Lab environments are places of perfect connectivity, limited devices and up-to-date operating systems. Sadly, that's not the world your app is going to encounter outside the walls of your test lab.
In-the-wild testing ensures your app works well in real world situations, such as:
On a Range of Devices: The number of mobile devices grows everyday, bringing with it a range of screen sizes, resolutions, processing power, etc. You'd need a warehouse to store all these devices.
On Real Devices: Emulators and simulators simply don't cut it. Fingers on touchscreens are much different than mouse clicks and real devices aren't clean, well-maintained systems. But to house all the devices you would need for testing, you'd need unlimited space and an astronomical budget.
On-Location: Connectivity changes with network and location, but you can't mimic those fluctuating conditions in a lab.
Outdated Software: Not everyone regularly updates their operating system. Some Android users might not even have access to the newest version. How does your app behave on older OS versions?
