Quick answer

How is mobile app testing done?

Mobile app testing checks features, layouts, performance, battery and data use, behaviour on slow or unstable networks, interruptions such as calls and notifications, security and store guidelines across a range of devices and OS versions. Stack18 tests on real devices common in India, including budget Android phones, uses cloud device labs for wider coverage and automates regression with Appium.
