Enhancing Lifehub’s Multi-Platform Performance: Comprehensive Manual Testing Insights

Lifehub is a social impact platform dedicated to empowering citizen to lead healthy and meaningful lives. With interactive content and a strong commitment to tangible results, Lifehub enables organizations to improve the well-being of their communities through their work actively.

Before our team joined the project, it had already been launched on the market but needed a thorough testing process. Consequently, bugs and usability issues were only handled when they became visible to the end-users, thus affecting user experience and application reliability.

For this project, we have been assigned the task of manually testing web and desktop applications on various browsers and devices. Our team implemented thorough testing to ensure consistent performance and usability. Here are some key insights into the project work that we will disclose.

We are delighted to share the technologies intricately linked to the testing process.

• BrowserStack: Cross-browser testing tool used to ensure compatibility and consistent performance across different browsers and devices.
• LambdaTest: An advanced cloud-based solution designed for cross-browser testing, enabling teams to validate web applications across various browsers and operating systems.
• Jira: Project management and issue tracking tool for efficient task management and team collaboration.   
• Chrome DevTools: Provides real-time inspection and debugging capabilities for web applications. Key features include element inspection, console logging, network monitoring, and performance analysis.
• TestRail: A test management tool that allows for organizing and tracking manual test cases and their results, providing detailed insights into testing progress and coverage.
• Apache JMeter: A tool for load testing and performance measurement. It allows the simulation of multiple users and analysis of performance metrics for various services, including web applications, databases, and APIs.

• Cross-platform testing: The project involved testing an application across multiple platforms, including web, Android, and iOS.  
• Data security: Emphasis on safeguarding user data and ensuring security during information exchange.
