How Salesforce tests mobile apps - contd.

While conducting the set of tests mentioned above, we are paying special attention to numerous metrics that may impact the performance and functional stability of our mobile apps:

• App crashes
• Low memory events
• Background out of memory (BOOM)
• Foreground out of memory (FOOM)
• Performance under different network conditions (WiFi/LTE/3G/Edge)
• App bugs introduced by new functionality
• New OS versions
• Automation pass stability and many more

Areas that we recommend our customers concentrate special attention on:

Focus on the main use cases for your users. It is critical to focus your testing on functionality that your users use the most

• Advanced authentication
• MDM deployment
• Scenarios specific to your security policy
• Custom Visualforce, Canvas, Flexi Pages
• Custom Connected App settings
• Integrations with non-salesforce systems/apps
• Custom network restrictions (e.g. VPN/IP range limitations)
