App Testing – A Cardinal Aspect of Mobile App Development Every app submitted on the app store wanted a pie of the cake. But, all of them are unable to get a top spot in app downloads, user’s engagement, user’s retention and user’s reviews and ratings.

Why is it so? The buggy app or poor app experience disgruntle the users. Nearly half of the users give instant reaction to the app in the form of uninstallation, if they encounter a flaw in the app. What’s the solution? Testing is the answer to all the mentioned concerns.
