#30DaysofTesting – Day 8 Reporting

As the #30daysoftesting challenges continues, i have decided today to put the famous iOS Native LinkedIn mobile app and perform some exploratory testing on it using my iPhone 6 Plus device running iOS 9.X

Today’s challenge was about finding up to 5 different defects and reporting them back to the app vendor.

Here are my findings:

• Searching through the contact list (my list of contacts overpasses 2500 members) is simply unusable since the A-Z side bar is non proportional with the page size, so basically trying to filter by letter (e.g. “K”) is very hard

• App crashed twice when entering long string of characters into the search bars either for searching contacts/groups or messages
• Sharing a message from the app – DOES NOT WORK. You can only share from the app main screen an update but not a message.

• Redundant “Close Page” link in various EULA/Privacy web pages – accessible through setting screen (Privacy Policy, User Agreement, EULA)

I’ve reported back to LinkedIn about these defects, below is their confirmation email – pending their response.

Happy #30Daysofesting To All Of You.
