Automatic Software Testing

By Jason L. Beanster


Computer systems once took over the landscape of digital purchases. A person would use the internet to his computer; check out a website; try to find an item; and purchase it digitally.

Women and men go on to make digital purchases, but now also on mobile phones and tablets. Mobile handset and tablets present a new issue for online business: diverse load times, purchasing concerns, and errors which may bring about numerous sales lost.

The tablet industry is expected to increase 38% between now and 2015, rising from 67 million units to 248.6, based on Transparency Marketing Research. With this kind of massive growth expected to occur, websites should be more set to handle the flow of customers going to a web site on tablets or mobile devices. Everyday, numerous users of tablets and mobile phones visit an online site to make a purchase.

What commonly occurs with websites not prepared for these mistakes on the purchasing screen. A person may try to buy one item from his phone or tablet and several errors will occur, such as improper loading, item number problems, and drop down screen issues. The user who originally desired to purchase your item from a website may now look some where else. By using the proper testing services, you could be better prepared to prevent such smaller issues from occurring. Enduring slip-ups on a mobile device is not good, but enduring slow load times is impossible to deal with. Imagine going onto a website from your tablet device and each page taking half a minute if not more to load.

In an age where 4G/3G speeds and downstream speeds of 6 Mbps for wireless Internet exist, there is no justification for sluggish load times. Sure, response times will not be as quick on a mobile phone as they definitely will be on a home computer, but with full signal bars, no individual should wait one minute to load just one webpage.

Run some tests making sure that all mobile users get the most possible load time for your individuals information. Use mobile application testing tools if it is required, because your clients will either underestimate or not buy anything from your webpage if it is too slow for their liking. Smart phones will continue to get smarter, while tablets will continue to provide wireless access to the Internet using cell towers. As the mobile industry expands, companies should start preparing for the purchases individuals will make with their mobile devices or miss out on money in potential sales.
