DeviceAnywhere Delivers Industry’s First Mobile Test Automation Service Across Over 1000 Real Mobile Devices Worldwide. 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.”
