Abstract: A mobile application, sometimes known as an app, is a form of software designed to operate on a mobile device such as a mobile phone or tablet and is commonly used to deliver user services similar to those accessible on PCs. Mobile applications have become an important part of our lives, allowing us to communicate with people all over the world while sitting at home. However, these applications do more than just connect people; they also provide information, entertainment, and a way to learn new things at any time and from any location. Mobile application testing is very important before releasing any apps. However, since multimode mobile platforms such as handsets, smartphones, tablets, pads, and wearable electronics are now available, various device fragmentations, iOS platforms, and various customer specifications, mobile application testing has recently become incredibly challenging. This article provides an overview of several mobile testing approaches as well as the most recent mobile app testing challenges. In addition, we provide a testing cycle in which mobile apps are sent to clients for feedback. In this article, we also performed a survey of current mobile app users on various bugs in real-world mobile applications, which will be used as a factor in future development.

I.INTRODUCTION
Smartphones have developed from basic communication devices to multi-functional devices. Ordering meals, hailing a cab, or even checking for directions may all be accomplished through a smartphone. It is only feasible since to the wonderful world of smartphone apps. Mobile apps (apps that run on mobile phones or next-generation devices, for example) have become so ubiquitous that they are generating a revolution in the IT industry [1]. The technique of testing software applications for handheld mobile devices for functionality, usability, and consistency is known as mobile application testing [2]. Apps for mobile software distribution are either pre-loaded or may be installed platforms. In recent years, the popularity of mobile phones has skyrocketed. According to a poll conducted by the Yankee Group, revenue production will reach $4.2 billion by 2013, with 7 billion smartphone app downloads in the United States.[3]
Individuals and businesses interested in the development of mobile applications might benefit from mobile app testing services. In terms of smartphones, cellular technology has improved rapidly in recent years. It simply opened up opportunities for software development firms to create various types of mobile applications customized to the demands of end customers. You’ll require mobile application testing as a
