Adding Turnkey Automation Offering Cements Applause as Single Source for All Modern App Quality Needs
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - May 20, 2015) - Applause, the 360° App Quality™ company, today announced a major new addition to its suite of app quality tools and services -- Applause Test Automation. With this new offering, Applause customers can now fulfill their entire app testing portfolio with the app quality company -- from manual to automated testing for web, mobile and wearable apps.
Before today's launch, companies seeking to automate their testing faced long-term, big-money contracts with a vendor of proprietary tools and/or device access. On top of that, companies still had to create automation scripts and maintain them as their apps change. Because of this, a majority of the costs often occurred after companies had licensed the software and devices.
With the new Applause turnkey solution, companies can now get the software tools, the device access and the expert services to build and maintain a best-in-class automation solution. Applause customers simply detail their desired test scenarios, and Applause takes it from there, providing what competitors can't, including:
"Applause long ago established itself as the global leader in testing apps on real devices under real world conditions. Now -- with the help of hundreds of customers who have shared their perspectives and pain points -- we're reinventing the modern test automation landscape," said Applause CEO Doron Reuveni. "In today's increasingly agile apps economy, companies' testing efforts must be able to keep up with the pace of engineering and dev ops. Now, Applause customers can do that in many different ways. We're further establishing ourselves as the preferred partner for all our customers' app quality needs."
The framework for Applause Test Automation extends the capabilities of popular open source tools (Appium, TestNG and Selenium), enabling the Applause automation engineers to evolve scripts more quickly and keep up with the pace of change in a company's apps. Also, tests can be run on iOS, Android and web from the same framework.
Detailed features of Applause Test Automation include:
This is the latest major announcement for Applause, which is a finalist for a 2015 Stevie Award for Most Innovative Company, and which launched Applause EU in Germany last year.
Applause Test Automation joins in-the-wild testing, mobile beta management and mobile app analytics in the company's 360° suite of app quality tools and services.
