Test & Quality Assurance

Ensuring the highest quIn a mobile context, countless things can go wrong that you won’t encounter in a desktop environment—users suddenly going offline as their train enters a tunnel, a user trying to upload a RAW image from their camera to the backend service, or changes to the phone’s operating system that the app wasn’t prepared for. Identifying and fixing these situations requires experience working with mobile apps, and our mobile QA experts at Shortcut have seen these issues before.ality and performance of your app through rigorous testing:

At Shortcut, our dedicated QA team ensures that every app we develop not only meets but exceeds quality standards—tailored specifically for the unique demands of mobile solutions. Our QA professionals combine expertise in quality assurance with knowledge of mobile solutions and how to best ensure the quality of apps.
Mobile QA differs significantly from traditional web QA due to the vast fragmentation of devices, varied monitoring systems, and unique deployment processes. Our expertise in these areas ensures that your mobile app is robust and performs optimally across all platforms.

At Shortcut, our QA specialists perform tasks such as:

Test - Plan - Execute QA

In the development phase we focus on the following aspects of QA:

QA Foundation: Ensuring the desired quality level in the apps and backend systems we develop. This is the classic QA task adapted to a mobile context. Key components of this process include.
Ongoing quality assurance of development tasks. Validation of user stories, definition of acceptance criteria, collaboration with designers and developers to ensure quality. Our experience shows that the best QA results are achieved by incorporating QA into the Scrum team.
Regression testing: Defining regression tests based on the desired quality level.
Acceptance tests: Clearly defining the required quality and how it will be verified.

Software Life Cycle Management

An app is never truly finished once it’s released. And the world doesn’t stand still. Any IT system requires monitoring and continuous maintenance. In the QA process, we aim to document tests and monitoring so that these QA tools can seamlessly transition into the operational phase. We live and breathe to catch these errors before the end user discovers them.

Automation

In longer projects with many ongoing updates and releases, QA tasks can be automated to great advantage. To save time, particularly with regression testing, and to maintain a consistently high quality level, automating QA efforts with automatic UI tests, unit tests, and integration of tests and validation in the CI/CD tool can be beneficial.

QA Monitoring and Reporting

Releasing apps through platforms like the Apple App Store or Google Play comes with built-in monitoring tools to track usage and performance. We integrate these tools into your project to ensure your app’s quality is always measurable and improvable.

Overall, our QA efforts are focused on ensuring the desired quality level with minimal resources, and ensuring that the QA process can be repeated and measured. Interested in a tailored QA strategy for your app?
