DeviceAnywhere(TM) Delivers Industry's First Mobile Test
Automation Service Across Over 1000 Real Mobile Devices Worldwide
SAN MATEO, Calif. & BARCELONA, Spain--(Business Wire)--Mobile Complete, the mobile industry's leading provider of
testing, monitoring, and support solutions, today announced
DeviceAnywhere Pro, which features fully automated mobile testing and
scripting. With DeviceAnywhere Pro, users are no longer burdened with
the redundancies of manual testing and scripting and can free up their
time and resources to improve the quality of their applications.
Offered in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, DeviceAnywhere
Pro leverages DeviceAnywhere's publicly shared infrastructure of over
1000 mobile devices across the United States and Europe. It also
employs DeviceAnywhere's proven architecture which - unlike simulators
or emulators - offers developers access to real, physical handsets on
live global networks, using just the Internet. As a result,
reliability is never in question and the devices behave just as if
users held them in their hands. Cost-effective and efficient,
DeviceAnywhere Pro significantly improves the mobile development
lifecycle allowing developers to bring better mobile products to
market faster than ever before.
DeviceAnywhere's Pro users can create test automation scripts in a
variety of fashions, including a drag-and-drop interface, a
record-and-playback mechanism - where all user interactions with a
phone are recorded into a script - and a Java API - which enables
advanced scripting as well as integration with other test management
frameworks. DeviceAnywhere Pro also features a resource manager, which
allows users to test one script across multiple devices.
Particularly beneficial is DeviceAnywhere Pro's scheduling
feature. With this capability, users can schedule tests to take place
at any time during the day or night - so they need not be present or
manually enter and observe data. When errors occur in scripts, the
problems are recorded and the scripts continue to run. After scripts
have finished, users can observe the results of their tests online,
viewing specific screens to determine where issues arose. The
automated scripting and scheduling through DeviceAnywhere increases
efficiency and decreases the time developers must spend physically
testing on each handset.
"We use DeviceAnywhere extensively from our development center in
India, and we are excited about the Mobile Test Automation features in
DeviceAnywhere as it will minimize the redundancies associated with
the manual testing process," said Arish Ali, CEO of Skava, Inc. "As a
result, we can expedite our test cycles and be able to meet our
operator release deadlines more effectively."
DeviceAnywhere Pro is the most recent addition to DeviceAnywhere's
continuously evolving portfolio of value-added services to improve the
mobile application development process from concept to market. This
product is designed to alleviate the redundancies and costs associated
with manual scripting, allowing developers to spend more time on
ensuring maximum product quality. The DeviceAnywhere platform helps
developers during all phases of application development to ensure
compatibility of their products across a wide range of handsets and
mobile networks located across the globe. The DeviceAnywhere family
includes:
-- DeviceAnywhere(TM)
-- DeviceAnywhere Pro(TM)
-- DeviceAnywhere Monitoring(TM)
-- DeviceAnywhere Consumer(TM)
"The mobile industry is facing a perfect storm of content and
device explosion and innovation," said Faraz Syed, CEO and Co-Founder
of Mobile Complete. "As a result, nearly every business today is faced
with the need to have their products or services 'go mobile' - from
banks to retailers to game developers and entertainment shops etc.
This has put tremendous stress on the developer community to ensure
the timely delivery of quality applications on mobile handsets."
"We are here to cater to this explosion and with the addition of
automation; we are further extending the DeviceAnywhere value chain of
solutions, allowing users to literally bypass manual processes. As a
result, they benefit from a truly automated development process
resulting in a more effective approach to delivering superior quality
mobile products to market faster."
