Mobile App Testing Checklist: 10 Must-Test Features Before Launch

🚀 Launching a Mobile App? Don't Skip This QA Checklist!

In today’s digital-first world, your mobile app is often the first impression customers get of your brand. Whether you’re building a fintech tool, an eCommerce app, or a social platform, ensuring quality assurance (QA) before launch is critical to success.

At AM Webtech Pvt. Ltd., we’ve tested hundreds of apps across Android, iOS, and hybrid platforms. We’ve compiled our ultimate mobile app testing checklist to help you avoid bugs, crashes, and bad reviews.

✅ 10 Must-Test Features in Mobile App QA

1️⃣ User Login & Authentication

  • Test all login options: email/password, social logins (Google, Facebook, Apple), and OTPs.

  • Validate password reset, multi-factor authentication, and error messages.

  • Ensure secure data handling during sign-in/sign-up flows.


2️⃣ Navigation and UI Responsiveness

  • Verify that all navigation menus, buttons, and links are intuitive and clickable.

  • Check screen transitions, animations, and back-stack behavior.

  • Ensure layout adapts to different devices and screen sizes.


3️⃣ Device & OS Compatibility

  • Test on a mix of Android and iOS devices, including old and latest OS versions.

  • Validate performance on different resolutions and device types (phones, tablets).

  • Use real devices and emulators for wider test coverage.


4️⃣ Network Connectivity Scenarios

  • Simulate low/no network conditions and test app behavior.

  • Validate offline mode (if applicable), auto-sync when back online.

  • Ensure proper error messaging when network fails.


5️⃣ Push Notifications

  • Test sending and receiving of push notifications across platforms.

  • Check notification behavior in foreground, background, and closed app states.

  • Ensure user preferences and opt-in/opt-out settings work correctly.


6️⃣ Payment Gateway & In-App Purchases

  • Verify secure payment processing across different gateways (Razorpay, Stripe, etc.).

  • Test failed transactions, currency conversions, and refund flows.

  • Ensure compliance with PCI-DSS and data encryption standards.


7️⃣ App Performance Under Load

  • Conduct performance testing to measure app speed, response time, and stability.

  • Use tools like JMeter or Firebase to simulate traffic spikes.

  • Identify memory leaks or battery drainage issues.


8️⃣ Crash Handling and Error Logging

  • Test app under extreme usage to detect crash-prone areas.

  • Integrate crash reporting tools like Firebase Crashlytics or Sentry.

  • Validate proper error messages, logs, and fallback mechanisms.


9️⃣ Permissions and Privacy Settings

  • Ensure proper handling of camera, GPS, contacts, and storage permissions.

  • Check if the app requests permissions only when needed.

  • Validate GDPR or data privacy compliance.


🔟 App Store Readiness

  • Verify all meta info (app icon, screenshots, privacy policy) is compliant with App Store and Play Store guidelines.

  • Ensure APK/IPA builds are properly signed and optimized.

  • Conduct final regression and UAT before submission.
