Test your Mobile App on Real Devices over Emulators for More Accurate Results

Testing of a mobile app that represents a business is vital for attaining the exact result as desired in terms of customer satisfaction as well as business progress. But achieving the right outcome by testing is more important than just doing testing. Testing should be performed on emulators or real devices is a critical decision for the testers to take. Both have their own merits and demerits but still which is more reliable needs to be crystal clear. So, this article is going to draw the curtain from the perplexity of choosing what will be more beneficial for testing a mobile app.

Although emulators are simple to use and deliver faster results, they cannot be completely relied upon. Testing with emulators raises higher risk as the testing is not performed on real devices which are used by users. Your mobile app users will be using real devices such as Smartphones or Tablets not emulators. So, the results will be 100% accurate cannot be confirmed.
 
Another con of using emulator is that these do not have specific hardware and software support relevant to the operating systems, they just mimic hardware, software and operating system of a mobile device. Moreover, with the updating operating systems, emulators do not catch up. One more negative aspect of deploying emulators is that these use the networks associated to your desktop via LAN and thus; emulators are not the right choice for mobile app testing scenarios that replicate real time scenarios. This leads to incomplete testing of your mobile app.

Mobile app testing on real devices will address those that aren’t by emulators such as – C.P.U and memory utilization of a mobile app. It is also possible to test the responsiveness of a mobile app. You could get access to real time conditions where you could test your mobile app against those conditions, such as your app performance on mobile network vs Wi-Fi.
 
Emulators cannot completely imitate real devices, especially the native functionality of the devices such as GPS, Sensors and Gestures.  Moreover, testing on real test device allows the tester to understand the user experience and eventually it will allow the app to improve its user experience before the launch. Another aspect which emulators cannot detect rightly is screen resolution and brightness. So, a real device testing releases the real result without any burden of imitated result.
