Introduction
You’ve launched an iOS update, feeling confident… until the App Store reviews roll in. “App keeps crashing!” “Login doesn’t work!” Suddenly, you’re firefighting instead of building. Sound familiar? We’ve seen it happen too many times—and that’s why we believe in catching bugs before they ruin your day.
At BetterQA, we believe in preventing bugs before they become a headache. Our team has spent years refining automated testing strategies to help businesses ship iOS apps with confidence—without those dreaded emergency hotfixes.
BetterQA’s Impact: By the Numbers
- On average, our automation tests catch 92% of critical iOS bugs before release.
- Automation regression tests at BetterQA have reduced post-release defects by 65%.
- Performance testing has helped our clients improve app speed by up to 40%, ensuring a smoother user experience.
So, let’s talk about how automation can help you reduce bugs and make your releases smoother.
How to Minimize Bugs Using Automated Testing
1. Start Testing Early
A lot of teams wait until the last minute to perform automation testing. Huge mistake. Bugs that slip through late in development are more expensive and stressful to fix. That’s why we push for early-stage automation, making sure every build gets tested as soon as code is written.
💡 BetterQA’s Take: Our Shift-Left approach has helped teams reduce defect leakage by 70%, preventing bugs from escalating into costly post-release issues.
2. Continuous Testing in CI/CD Pipelines
If your team is doing only manual testing before every release, you’re slowing yourself down. Automated tests should run every time new code is pushed. With a solid CI/CD pipeline, you can catch bugs immediately instead of days (or weeks) later.
💡 BetterQA’s Take: 83% of the iOS bugs we catch come from automated CI/CD testing, preventing bad releases from reaching production.
3. Regression Testing:
Ever rolled out a cool new feature only to find that it broke five other things? That’s why regression testing is crucial. Every update should be automatically tested against existing functionalities to prevent unwanted surprises.
💡 BetterQA’s Take: Our automated regression tests have reduced production bug reports by 65%, making sure new features don’t disrupt what already works.
4. UI & UX Testing
An app can be technically flawless but still frustrating to use. UI automation ensures that buttons, forms, navigation, and interactions work exactly as expected, mimicking real user behavior.
💡 BetterQA’s Take: 70% of usability issues we detect are found through automated UI testing, ensuring a smooth user experience.
5. Performance & Load Testing
Speed matters. If your app lags, users leave. We integrate automated performance and stress tests to make sure your app can handle real-world traffic, network delays, and device constraints.
💡 BetterQA’s Take: Our performance testing has helped clients improve app response times by up to 40%, keeping users engaged and happy.
6. Cross-Device Testing
Your app might run great on an iPhone 15 Pro Max, but what about an iPhone SE? iOS updates, different screen sizes, and various hardware specs can all impact performance. Automating cross-device testing is the only way to ensure universal stability.
💡 BetterQA’s Take: Our cross-device testing setup catches device-specific issues 85% faster than traditional manual testing.
7. API & Backend Testing for Rock-Solid Reliability
If your app relies on APIs to function, those APIs need to be tested just as rigorously as your UI. Bad API responses, slow load times, or security flaws can break the entire experience.
💡 BetterQA’s Take: API automation testing at BetterQA has reduced backend-related failures by 75%, ensuring a stable, secure app experience.
