Summary

The traditional mobile QA methodology is no longer suitable for the fast-paced digital transformation era, where continuous integration and continuous delivery are becoming increasingly important. The waterfall process, which involves defining requirements, software development, testing, and final release, cannot keep up with the rapid pace of change in user needs and requirements. New trends in mobile app development and testing have led to a shift towards agile methodologies, which enable close collaboration between development, testing, and QA teams to deliver updates, bug fixes, and new features quickly. Continuous integration and continuous delivery processes are also becoming more prevalent, with test automation playing a key role in enabling parallelization and short release cycles. As quality becomes increasingly important for user retention and growth, the budget allocated for testing and QA is rising, and open source solutions are being adopted to adapt quickly to changing environments. Mobile cloud services are also emerging as a result of this agile environment, providing access to software and services anytime, from anywhere.
