The world of mobile app testing is undergoing significant transformations with the advent of technologies like 5G and AI, but software performance engineering has become the norm. Mobile teams need to understand the differences between performance engineering and performance testing, which involve assessing a mobile app's stability, scalability, speed, and other metrics. Performance engineering is a proactive approach that involves designing and analyzing architecture for improved performance, applying coding standards, monitoring releases, and optimizing capacity to achieve optimal performance. This mindset prioritizes performance throughout every phase of development, whereas performance testing is mainly aimed at identifying issues and bugs in performance through running test scripts and analyzing set metrics. To get the best output from both approaches, mobile teams need the right tools, such as NeoLoad, WebLOAD, Jmeter, Gatling, and LoadRunner, and comprehensive solutions like Instabug that provide real-time contextual insights across the entire app lifecycle.
