Quality
Identify and fix bugs, errors, and issues before the app is deployed. Avoid user-reported bugs and minimize the cost of post-launch fixes.
Faster development
Improved User Experience and conversion rates, better app performance, and fewer bugs lead to faster time-to-market and increased revenue.
Security
Detect potential vulnerabilities and security issues - minimizing the risk of data breaches and serious legal problems.
Lower costs
Reducing the need for future code refactoring translates to cost savings in the long-term development of your app.
Mobile app testing delivers real value
Test your app on the most popular mobile devices, improve its reliability, and utilize a process that is one of the core pillars of our company.
How do you test iOS apps?
iOS app testing is a process in which we verify whether the features of an iOS application work as expected and meet the requirements outlined in the User Stories. Typically, the tests include checking specific user actions, interface features, app performance, and edge cases that we identify.
iOS apps can only be installed on Apple devices, which means they must be compatible with various versions of iOS and Apple devices that run iOS, such as iPhones and iPads.
The efficiency of bug detection depends on the number and quality of the testing processes implemented. iOS app testing requires a specific approach and is influenced by the technology in which the app was created.
At iMakeable, we have all the tools and expertise necessary for comprehensive iOS manual and automated app testing.
How do you test Android apps?
Android is currently the most popular mobile operating system, with around 70% market share in 2024. Unlike iOS, Android apps need to be compatible with thousands of different devices from hundreds of manufacturers. From our experience, despite the significant time invested by teams in app design and functionality, bugs are inevitable. A proven mobile app testing process is essential.
The method of testing an Android app depends on the technologies used to build it. Like iOS apps, we test them manually and implement automated mobile app testing. We employ unit tests, integration tests, and automated tests that allow us to identify most bugs before they are reported by users.
How do we test mobile apps?
Feature analysis
We begin our QA process with reviewing the feature specifications and User Stories that need to be verified. We assist in defining the requirements and specifications if needed.
Testing plan
We set the testing guidelines with our QA team. We plan the methods, technologies, testing approach and identify the key features and the most error-prone areas of the app.
Test Cases
Detailed test scenarios and cases are created and verified. We define the scope of functionality tests, their interactions, and specific edge cases within particular features.
Continuous quality assurance
Regression tests and retests are planned, and automated tests are implemented to optimize QA costs over the long term.
Tests and reports
We execute the agreed-upon test scope, analyze and document the bugs, and then prepare a report along with tasks for the developers to minimize the time needed to fix the bugs.
Test environment
We prepare a dedicated test environment that acts as an additional step between the developers and the production environment. This is where we verify the code and functionalities before they are released to the users.
Why is mobile app testing important?
Stakeholders often don’t focus on or know how to assess the quality of app code. Even the best development teams create bugs, and this is a natural part of the software development process.
One of the main causes of bugs is changing requirements during the project, combined with tight deadlines and a lack of time to thoroughly test new changes and functionalities.
The key to minimizing the number of bugs is frequent refactoring, test automation, and continuous testing of changes by dedicated specialists.
We build QA specialist teams whose sole responsibility is checking the quality of the code and test status.
We reduce the number of bugs in the app at the process level - we’ll help you manage your app’s testing strategy.
What are the benefits of mobile app testing?
Better app store ratings
Low app quality and functionality bugs lead to poor reviews in app stores and fewer users.
50%
of mobile users won’t install an app with a rating below 3 stars.
Improved performance
Enhance a key factor in user satisfaction that influences retention and conversion. Slow app performance discourages users and negatively impacts retention.
70%
of mobile app users will abandon an app if it takes too long to load.
Better user retention
Frequent bugs effectively deter users from using the app. Errors impact retention and prevent you from validating your business concept.
50-60%
of users stop using an app if it crashes or freezes unexpectedly.
Easier development and less risk
Bug-free code makes it significantly easier and cheaper to add new features and ensures better data security.
nearly 90%
of users will delete an app if it fails to launch correctly or crashes repeatedly.
QA as a Service - what are the benefits?
Leverage proven app testing processes and focus on growing your business.
Effective budget utilization
For an app MVP, building your own testing team can lead to inefficiencies and a poorly allocated budget and time. In an app MVP, testers are realistically needed for only a few hours per week. The budget saved can be redirected to developing new features, sales, or marketing.
Access to various methods and processes
In most app projects, tests are designed based on the team’s best knowledge - but this may not always be enough. If your team lacks experience in manual, automated, performance, and security testing, you may face costly gaps in competencies in the future. QA as a Service allows you to use specialists with expertise in various types of app testing.
Independent “out-of-the-box” perspective
An external QA team brings a fresh perspective to the project and is tasked with planning the testing work and strategy to cover all app features. We help find bugs in areas where your team may have tested multiple times but overlooked issues. We also provide feedback and suggestions on how to improve your app.
The mobile app testing service is for you if:
You need to quickly identify potential risks and imperfections in your app and address them
You don’t have the time or resources to build an internal Quality Assurance team, provide them with tools, and offer the necessary training
You need top professionals who regularly build, refine, and test apps
You want an independent opinion and support in your app’s development

Frequently asked questions
Can you help me create and implement my own QA process?
Yes, cooperation under QA as a Service involves designing and implementing processes that will enable you to independently manage the quality of the code being developed. Our team will help you implement and improve existing QA processes.
Can I test out QA as a Service?
We can start with a two-week trial period during which we will implement basic processes and tools to enhance your team's workflow.
When should I start testing my app’s code?
In our opinion - as soon as possible is the only right answer. To ensure that your application performs reliably as the number of users and load increases, sooner or later, you will need to create automated tests and cover most of the existing application code. While manual testing may be sufficient at the start for quickly building an MVP, it is important not to overlook test automation to reduce code maintenance costs.
How long should I work with external QA?
The length of collaboration depends largely on the size of the codebase you already have and the resources dedicated to establishing your own QA processes. We will help you clean up the code and implement best practices as quickly as possible, after which we can work together to create your own methods for maintaining app quality. The entire process can take anywhere from a month to several months.
How do I determine what kind of testing I need?
From our experience, you’ll likely need to start with manual testing of existing functionalities. We recommend this step to assess the app’s state and prioritize the errors that need fixing first. Then, automated testing can be implemented to prevent future issues with functionality.
