The invention discloses a method for testing mobile application software, which comprises the following steps that: after receiving a test request of a user, a server transmits a test task and the application software to one mobile terminal or a plurality of mobile terminals; The mobile terminals are provided with application software, perform corresponding tests on the application software according to the test tasks, generate test record files and transmit the test record files to the server; And the server extracts test information of the application software from the test record file and analyzes the test information, and judges whether the application software has defects or not according to an analysis result. The test efficiency and accuracy of the mobile application software are greatly improved, the personnel cost is effectively reduced, the test quality is improved, and the test application range is wide.
