Why your QA approach should be a bit scattergun
We often hear people saying they want one QA tool that does it all. Whether they’re product leads, CTOs or project managers, many leaders are looking for that silver bullet to streamline testing. A platform that works across React Native, Unity, iOS, Android, and everything in between. The trouble is, that tool just doesn’t exist.
This is simply because mobile quality assurance isn’t about picking the flashiest tool to service every need. It’s about knowing where your risks are, and what to do about them.
The danger of doing less
Over-relying on a single QA platform will typically create more problems than it solves. You might feel covered because the automated tests are passing. But then a live build breaks on a specific device, or crashes during onboarding, or just feels ‘off’.
Ignoring those little signs of inadequacy? It’s expensive. Plus, in high-pressure delivery environments, it can be downright dangerous.
Uniformity might look efficient, but it rarely delivers reliable results. Then, you’re left putting up with something that you just know isn’t working while your users suffer with bugs and breaks.
Our QA approach: messy in theory, sharp in practice
Over the years, we’ve worked to make sure our QA process is intentionally varied. We don’t believe in all-in-one promises, we just believe in doing what works. That means using different tools for different platforms, testing on both emulators and real devices and designing QA plans around your app’s specific risks, not someone else’s feature list.
Yes, it’s a bit scattergun. But it’s never sloppy.
We know where to aim, how to measure, and what ‘good’ looks like for your users, not just for your codebase.
Tailored doesn’t mean chaotic
It’s easy to assume that a multi-tool QA approach is disorganised or inefficient, we get it. But, in reality, it takes more discipline - not less. It’s about choosing with intent. About recognising that a Unity game and a React Native mobile app won’t fail in the same way and shouldn’t be tested the same way either.
Our QA strategies are flexible, but they’re built on structure and experience. We don’t chase coverage for coverage’s sake, we test where it counts.
Is your QA strategy covering every base?
If your current setup feels unfit, forced or out of sync with your product, we can help. Drop us a message about our audits, they’re specifically designed to give you a clear-eyed view of what’s working, what’s not, and where to go next - without the false promise of one tool that’ll fix it all.
