Mobile launches often depend on backend URLs that are easier to break than the app store release itself: API health, H5/WebView pages, webhooks, and scheduled jobs.
What to check
- API health endpoint: status code, response time, and expected content.
- H5/WebView URLs: HTTPS, redirects, and error-page detection.
- Webhook endpoints: reachability and non-5xx response behavior.
- Heartbeat URLs: background job freshness or health signal.
- SSL certificates: expiry windows before users see warnings.
What this does not cover
API smoke testing is not native iOS or Android UI automation. It verifies the public backend and web surfaces that a mobile release depends on.
Why this matters
A mobile app can pass manual review while the backend is misconfigured. Checking backend URLs before launch reduces the chance that the first user session becomes the first real test.
Where Uptraq fits
Uptraq lets you create API service, mobile backend, and H5/WebView projects, add launch targets, run checks, store findings, and keep important targets under Launch Watch after release.
