For optimal performance, I recommend conducting comprehensive functional and performance testing using Fiddler. This will help verify the app's network interactions. Logcat can help analyze system logs for potential crashes, freezes, and UI inconsistencies. Additionally, performing thorough regression testing after bug fixes is advisable to ensure that previously resolved issues do not reoccur.
