10.2What to Test for On-Device ML

Test Area What to Verify Example Assertion
Model loading Model initializes without crash on target devices Load time < 2s on Tier 1 devices
Inference latency Prediction completes within acceptable time p95 < 100ms on mid-range devices
Accuracy on device Model produces same results as server-side Agreement > 99% on validation set
Memory footprint Model does not cause OOM on constrained devices Peak memory < 100MB
Battery impact Continuous inference does not drain battery < 5% per hour of active use
Fallback behavior App works when model fails to load Graceful degradation to server-side API
Model update OTA model updates apply correctly New model version loads after app restart
Concurrent inference Multiple inference requests do not crash 10 concurrent requests complete
