Performance Testing Mobile Website Application



Performance Testing Mobile Website Application

To verify the performance of any app or the web pages, it is required the Performance Testing. Performance Testing is used to confirm the display quickly the website page to the visitor and will be continue to the Functions as the numbers of the users increased to the loads of peak. So for the mobile application or the app, Performance is also the important part. As the speed of connection of the user is often slower and the multiple variables for the mobiles user than the desktop user. Survey have shown that user will generally stop to use the apps or the website that load slowly or take much time in load process..

Why Performance Testing is required for Website and Native Mobile Application:
When more and more visitors are using the tablets and smart phones for their business application. So at that time expectation for the performance are increasing and the application those are using to become ever more critical to the businesses. As an examples: according to the Strangeloop, 57% of the online visitors will abandoned a website after waiting the 3 second. 80% of those peoples will never come back due to slow and bad performance.

So now it not the optional but its the mandatory or required for our businesses to confirm the applications performance inside the environment of mobiles. Load testing with the correct solution ensure that our SLAs are met even when the huge volumes of the user are just accessing our server at the same time.

Following Test cases need to considered for the Performance Testing:
  • Check the performance and measure during the low battery of device
  • Confirmation of download and performance on the variety of the network speed.
  • On the different -2 mobiles device and the operating system need to lagging the performance and potential.
  • Confirm the performance just after disconnected from the Network.
  • Just check it when thousands of users are accessing at once, what is the performance in the heavy load .
  • Confirm the consumption of battery
  • Responded time
  • Full Utilization of the Resources (memory and the processor)
  • Binary Sizes of Native Application

Following are the challenges for the Performance Testing of Mobile Applications:

High Latency, Poor Network Quality:
Mobiles network performs poorly compare to regular access of desktop. The lower bandwidth, the latency is always significantly higher and there is much more loss of packet. These networks characteristics have the significant impacts on the time of response for the visitors and on the capacity of server.

Lots of or Numbers of Devices:
There is one incrementing number of differ devices. Each and all employing one of many OS and the multiple sizes of screens. Several webs adapts the contents to the connected devices, and the since device each connect different to the servers they should, therefore be account for during the testing if we like the live the real life output or result. Such challenges only generate more complexity as mobiles devices use cases proliferate.

Numbers of multiple users: Over the 100 millions of the users of smart-phones will related to the 'gigabyte club' it will be over the 1GB per month starting from the year 2012. A mentioned I the blog or the buzz on the social medias site can bring the huge amounts of the visitor to the our website or our apps. Is our infrastructures prepare for this type of load?

AS we can confirm why and how the performance testing for mobile application is required. There are several automation tools in market which can be very useful for this testing.
Using IBM Rational Performance Tester.
