Each web site testing, desktop testing and mobile application testing should provide sufficient and appropriate test coverage of a software product under test.

Modern applications are complex, large systems supporting a lot of functions. Mobile programs involve various sensors in their work and support different ways of interaction with a user.

So, it is obvious that one cannot provide complete test coverage for all the functions, features and possible paths of a modern system.

One should try to enlarge test coverage and to diversify test types in order to enhance efficiency of manual and automated testing. A software testing company recommends looking at the tested system from a variety of angles.

To Enlarge Test Coverage it is Necessary to Apply:

• different approaches to testing activities;
• various testing methods, techniques and tours; mobile testing should comprise tests in the field, under different real life conditions;
• diverse testing instruments.

Examining of one area or aspect from various perspectives reveals much useful information about the software under test. One may find many significant problems overlooked by other people diversifying tests and approaches to testing efforts.

A software testing company finds such increasing of test coverage fruitful, especially for mobile programs, as mobile software products are more sophisticated and involve more aspects than programs for personal computers.
