Handset Field Testing

Hands-on checks of your mobile app on the phones your customers actually use, rather than only on the latest flagship sitting on a developer's desk.

Overview

What this service covers

An app that feels fast on the latest flagship can struggle on an older phone that has only 3GB of memory, on a weak signal, and plenty of users in India own exactly that kind of device. We test manually on 15 physical devices picked using your own analytics, on slow and unstable networks, and through real interruptions such as a phone call during payment, an hour in the background or a denied permission. Every defect goes into your tracker with a video recording and reproduction steps.

How it runs

The work in 4 stages

  1. Stage 1: Pick the devices

    Handsets are selected from your own analytics, not a stock list.

  2. Stage 2: Test each one

    Scripted flows and exploratory sessions run on every device.

  3. Stage 3: Log as we go

    Defects reach your tracker with evidence throughout, not in one batch at the end.

  4. Stage 4: Recommend

    A findings summary closes with an explicit ship or hold call.

Questions

Questions about this service

Not for this service. Simulated devices fail to reproduce the low-memory and poor-network conditions behind the bulk of these faults, so we use physical phones.

From your analytics. Usually that means a spread of popular budget and mid-range models sold in India, plus two or three generations of premium handsets.

Yes. Within 30 days we will run one more cycle on the devices that were affected.

This is a remote service: nothing is shipped physically, and the work is delivered into systems you control. See delivery and handover and refunds and cancellation for the full terms.
