Problems that need to be paid attention to in the incremental upgrade test of mobile app

As a user, during the testing process, you should pay attention to whether the APP must be uninstalled before it can be installed; if you have installed the latest version, but found that the previous login information is gone, you need to log in again; and this is the latest version will not crash after installation.

Test the incremental upgrade of APP

For incremental upgrade, testers can not only test the new installation for convenience, but also need to test the APP upgrade and installation. However, it is possible to perform key tests on newly installed APPs, smoke tests on upgraded APPs, or focus tests on changed functions. Testing can be ignored for downgrades.

To test the APP upgrade, you need to pay attention to the following details:

1. Whether the user information logged in before the APP upgrade can be displayed normally after the APP upgrade.

2. If the APP has an in-app purchase function, it is necessary to ensure that the products purchased by the user in the previous version are also available in the new version of the APP.

3. When the APP upgrade involves data structure changes, it is necessary to ensure that after the APP upgrade, the data saved in the database of the previous version of the APP is displayed normally on the new APP and will not cause the APP to crash.

4. While ensuring the function and display of the APP after the upgrade is normal, it is also necessary to ensure that the function and display of the version before the APP upgrade are also normal.

It is impossible for users to upgrade the app at the first time, so for a long time, multiple versions of the app coexist and must be tested. When the new version of the API has revised the API of the Mobile Service, you need to pay attention to testing whether the Mobile Service can support both the old and new versions.

5. There is also a cross-version upgrade APP test to ensure that all functions of the APP are normal, and whether the database is also updated normally.

The deletion of the test APP

should also be tested for the deletion of the APP. If the APP is not deleted properly, a lot of cache and other files will be left. These files will occupy the storage space of the user's device, and may also leave opportunities for malware, such as causing user information to be leaked.

If the user deletes the APP and installs it again, it is found that the user can log in automatically, which will make the user feel that the security of the APP is insufficient. So test that too.

Test the clearing of APP data Sometimes

users will also clear the data of the APP during use, so it is necessary to test the scenario where the user clears the APP data.

Android operating system users can clear the data of the APP in two ways:

1. The user only clears the cache of the APP The

user can clear the cache of the APP in the application of the APP. At this time, only the resource files such as those cached pictures are cleared, and the user login account information and APP settings should not be cleared.

2. The user clears the data of the APP The

user can clear the data of the APP on the application page of the APP. At this time, it includes user information and settings on the APP, as well as other user data. At this point, the APP returns to the initial state after being installed. The user needs to log in to the APP again and reset the APP.
