Perfecting a Delivery app

Part one: Driver’s app

• Orders are correctly received by the driver: test whether the order is received in the driver’s app correctly and the options appear to accept the order etc.
• Access to customer reviews: Test whether the driver can view the reviews given by a customer.
• Driver’s vehicle type: A provision to enter the driver’s vehicle type needs to be tested.
• UI issues: Basic UI issues like, fonts, spellings, images etc., should be tested.
• Status bar: Make sure that the status bar displays battery percentage and network correctly.
• Source and destination: The pick-up and delivery points and the distance between them need to be very clear. If the order is accepted or rejected the status must be updated to reflect the same.
• Assigning delivery request: It is to be verified that the delivery request is placed correctly. Need to ensure a driver is allocated to that particular delivery.
• Tracking: The most important part where it is to be tested, that customer receives correct information regarding location from the driver’s app.

Part two: Customer’s app

• Delivery mode: check whether customer is able to choose the delivery mode while placing the order.
• Push notifications: Check whether the push notifications are received in the customer page, regarding the order, and also check whether the notification can be hidden.
• Payment page: The payment page and the option for rating the driver must be available properly.
• Delivery days: Customers must be able to see if same day delivery is available or else the number of days taken should be displayed.
• Clear images: Check if images are displayed with clarity on each page.
• Cart capacity: Check if more number of products can be added to the cart.
• Offer price: Check if products are available with offer prize when clicked on offers.

Apart from all these specific checkpoints, there are some common points to be kept in mind:

• Validate that the application supports all payment gateway transactions such as Visa, Mastercard, Paypal etc., as required by the application.
• Validate that the page scrolling scenarios are being enabled in the application as necessary.
• Validate whether the installation of the application can be done smoothly provided the user has the necessary resources and it does not lead to any significant errors.
• It’s important to keep a track of battery consumption while running applications on mobile devices.

In spite of the fact that it sounds like a considerable measure of work – and absolutely isn’t simple – upon completion, you will have a multipurpose answer that will build your reputation in the present market that is peppered with a digital competition.
