When choosing automated mobile app security testing tools, mobile app development companies have two options: open-source and commercialized tools. But which one should you go for? Or, to be more precise, which one’s cheaper? If you have these questions on your mind, you’ve come to the right place. This blog explicitly differentiates open-source mobile app security testing tools from commercialized ones based on different factors, including cost.

Several companies aren't still aware of the fact that automated mobile app security testing brings better ROI than manual testing. Perhaps, they don't know what aspects of automation testing directly or indirectly impact the ROI. However, we got you covered. This blog discusses three almost hidden ways in which automation testing impacts and holds the potential to improve your ROI. And by the end, you'll be convinced to transition to complete automation testing.

Passwords seem seriously inadequate for security in our lives. It seems they are always getting compromised or hacked through security flaws in apps, and they never seem strong enough. Most of us will be familiar with the headaches of finding the perfect 8-character-long password, only to be told that you’ve used that one before. Even though we know we should use a different password for every secure video conference or site we create accounts for, it’s hard to remember more than one!

Mobile app security testing is expensive, and that’s a fact. For instance, a single quality penetration test costs around $20,000-$30,000. But do you essentially have to pay this high for the service? Mobile app development companies are cutting costs because of the economic meltdown or investors pulling out. And this could make it hard to set aside tens of thousands of dollars just for penetration testing, right? Moreover, without the right budget, how would you manage app security? Solution?

All app development companies are aware of the importance of mobile application security testing. Despite this, the app stores are full of potentially vulnerable apps. One of the reasons for this is the myths surrounding the mobile application security testing concept - how it might be complicated or expensive to get security. However, this blog will dispel these myths and present a true picture of mobile application security testing.

People these days use mobile apps for everything from ordering groceries and medicines to paying loan EMIs and sending or receiving money. While it sounds convenient, users' private info, such as email, home address, bank details, etc., is always at risk of being stolen. Therefore, it becomes the duty of app development companies to take up stringent measures to ensure complete security for their users. And that's when penetration testing comes into the picture.

The use of Application Programming Interface has skyrocketed with the rapid adoption of cloud, web, and mobile apps. Accordingly, API security testing has had to move into a completely different phase owing to the complexity as well as time and resource limitations. API testing involves testing the APIs directly, including their functionality, reliability, performance, and security.

Google has unveiled new Play Store policies designed to reduce the spread of misinformation, limit advertiser behaviour, address alarms, VPNs & impersonation issues and enhance security. The app marketplace is constantly in flux, and app store proprietors must adjust their policies accordingly to keep up. Today, Google announced a bevy of Google Play Store policies that will go into effect over the coming months.

A developer goes through different development and deployment rules for creating applications. Testing is an essential step in the development cycle. When it comes to software testing, many techniques need to be used from time to time. Yet the confusion around white, grey, and black testing techniques are most common among all software testing techniques. They often appear similar, yet the differences between them are very jarring.

Smartphones have become a central part of our lives, surpassing the popularity of desktops and laptops. That's why brands and companies these days need to take on a mobile approach when designing and creating applications. Why? Because an overwhelming number of mobile users spend their time these days on mobile apps. Therefore, it's crucial to consider the security of your mobile app. That way, all your sensitive data is safe and secure.
