In this blog post we are going to look at how we can use our performance tests to act as Sanity Test. We have touched upon the subject in one of our blog posts on the hidden benefits or performance testing. This post will however look to provide more detail on the subject and provide guidance on how you can accomplish this.

The success of your mobile app depends not just on how well the application is working at first, but also on its consistent delivery of excellent user experience.

For automation testing, test execution takes on another layer of complexity: In which environment should you run the test? Which test cases should you prioritize for execution?

While in the Uber, you open Zillow, a real estate app, to check out the apartment you want to rent that is located a few kilometers away from your location. The weather app, knowing your location, then sends you a notification to expect rain tomorrow. All of these are examples of the power of geolocation-based app features.
