SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DeviceAnywhere, the industry leader in end-to-end mobile application testing, will be showcasing its extension for Rational Quality Manager 3.0.1 at IBM Innovate 2011 in Orlando, Florida (June 5-9, 2011). DeviceAnywhere is delivering a holistic approach for mobile enterprise app test management and execution through a deep integration of DeviceAnywhere’s Test Automation for Smart Devices™ and IBM Rational Quality Manager 3.0.1. The integration has been successfully ‘Ready for IBM Rational’ validated.
DeviceAnywhere provides an enterprise-class cloud-based SaaS platform for testing and monitoring the usability, functionality, performance and availability of mobile applications and websites.
The Test Automation for Smart Devices integration to Rational Quality Manger enables users to:
- Test native and web apps on any device. Whether developing an internal or external facing app, businesses need to ensure compliance, performance and functionality before mass-rollout. Using the combination of Rational Quality Manager 3.0.1 and Test Automation for Smart Devices, users are able to create, implement and schedule automated tests on any mobile device or tablet. With rigorous automation, errors can be detected early, saving significant costs associated with bug fixes and performance issues that may be otherwise detected by end-users. Leveraging DeviceAnywhere’s patented technology, there are no limitations. All complex device features, such as accelerometer, swiping and pinching are supported.
- Leaner, simplified, yet powerful, testing processes. Manual testing is a resource intensive activity. Test automation provides a much leaner way to ensure software quality while saving costs associated with redundant testing, freeing up valuable resources to focus on product innovation. Users of DeviceAnywhere Test Automation for Smart Devices have been shown to reduce testing time on average by 70-80%* compared to manual processes. Using the integration with Rational Quality Manager, users are able to achieve further time savings by creating structured scripts into high-level, device-independent test cases and low-level test steps (actions) that are implemented across chosen devices.
- End-to-end management. Whether it is a standalone mobile project or a mobile product developed alongside existing assets, effective tracking is essential for any IT project. With Test Automation for Smart Devices, for each test case executed, all testing steps and proofs (screenshots, videos) are passed back to Rational Quality Manager for tracking and reporting to ensure projects are on track. Any issues can then be quickly identified, whether in the back office or on actual devices, and quickly assigned and tracked using a single management console. This improves bug resolution, time to market and ultimately return on investment.
The integration to Rational Quality Manager also enables DeviceAnywhere customers to transform their mobile application software delivery through use of IBM Rational’s Collaborative Lifecycle Management solution to enable active collaboration and end-to-end traceability.
Michael Loria, vice president, IBM Rational Business Development said: “Through this latest integration, DeviceAnywhere offers customers the rich feature set offered by Rational Quality Manager combined with a proven mobile quality platform.”
“Businesses are realizing that mobile is no longer a nice to have but a strategic channel to be exploited both internally and externally. We are building upon a longstanding integration with IBM to help developers, QA managers, engineers and business analysts take control of the mobile opportunity and bring quality mobile applications to market faster than ever before,” said Faraz Syed, CEO and co-founder of DeviceAnywhere. “We look forward to working with IBM at Innovate 2011 to educate companies on our solution.”
In addition to performing live demos during the event within a dedicated booth (Kiosk I), DeviceAnywhere CEO, Faraz Syed, will present alongside Leigh Williamson, IBM Distinguished Engineer, Rational Software CTO Team on ‘Bringing collaborative lifecycle development to mobile software’.
