How is testing a mobile app different from testing a website?

~4 min by voice

How to approach it

The interviewer checks whether the candidate understands that a mobile app lives in an environment the web doesn't have: a zoo of devices and OS versions, interruptions, an unstable network, permissions, installation and updates. It's important not just to say "the screen is smaller" but to name specific risk areas and ways to test them.
