Smart phones have become a crucial part of daily life nowadays. With great development in technology, mobile marketing is becoming more competitive. To ensure the visibility of your app in such a complex scenario, one need to be very particular about the approach being followed for mobile app development.
Mobile development requires hard effort to meet the expectations, needs of customers and to reach the targeted Audience.
Quality Assurance (QA) plays a vital role in the Mobile App Development Life Cycle. To ensure the success of an app, QA must be involved in all stages of development, from creating the concept, analysing requirements and wishes, creating test specifications, testing early versions of the app, releasing the finished product, to the post-development review process.
Recently, a new tool by name Crashlytics is gaining so much attention and popularity in the development domain.
