Which App Test Do You Need Before Launch?

If you built an app with AI tools, it probably mostly works. The risk is the rough edges you cannot see anymore. An independent test shows which ones matter before real users find them.

The Test My App page from VERTX describes three test scopes. This post helps you choose.

What A Flow Is

A flow is one complete user journey, such as signing up and completing a first action, or adding an item and paying. Testing by flow keeps the scope clear.

Three Scopes

The page describes One Flow, one complete journey checked on desktop and one mobile viewport. Launch Readiness covers up to three critical journeys across desktop, mobile and tablet, and includes a launch-readiness summary and one re-test after fixes. Full App Pass covers every key journey in the app on desktop, mobile and tablet, with one re-test.

Every tier returns a prioritized report with evidence, reproduction steps and fix direction. The page says fixing the issues is separate, and so are code or security reviews and a full accessibility audit.

Choosing

If you worry about one path, such as checkout, a single flow is enough. If you have a few paths that must work for launch, such as sign-up, the main task and payment, three is the fit. If the app has many paths and you are unsure which matter, a full pass covers them. A fictional example: a booking app with sign-up, booking and payment is three journeys.

What To Prepare

Have the live app, working test access and a list of the journeys you care about. The page says missing access is raised before testing.

What To Do With The Report

Start with findings that block a user from finishing. Fix, then use the re-test to confirm. Keep the report as a record of what you knew before launch.

Look At The Options

Open Test My App, read the three scopes and match them to the journeys you need before launch.
