Testing for Fragmentation: A risk based approach for targeted, effective testing

Fragmentation testing involves assessing the compatibility of software applications across various devices, platforms, and browsers. Risk-based testing strategy prioritizes parts of an app or devices with high risk associated with them. The risk is calculated by multiplying probability and impact. This approach helps in deciding which functionality within an app should receive more attention and where to focus testing efforts. Fragmentation can also occur between different release versions of the same app, making monitoring crucial for detecting major issues in time. Using crash data as valuable test input can lead to a targeted, efficient test suite.
