Vodafone to Experience Nexperience for Mobile Apps
Nexperience, an Israel-based firm offering remote access and automated
testing solutions for mobile devices, says that Vodafone has selected
the Nexperience system for its global network of partners, including
device manufacturers and application developers. They’ll get an online
environment to access pre-launched Vodafone handsets, for pre-deployment
development and testing.
Nexperience believes that the tie-up will help Vodafone ensure the
quality of its handsets and embedded mobile applications and support the
delivery of new handsets to market. The Nexperience system will also aim
to help Vodafone reduce the costs and logistics of the pre-deployment
process.
The
Nexperience system provides a web-based user-interface through which
Vodafone and its partners can use any handset in the same way a
real-life user would, through its keys, touch-screen, or QWERTY
keyboard, to validate that the handset and is applications work
properly. The Nexperience system also enables Vodafone's users to
automate standard testing tasks.
In
addition to its remote access capabilities, the company says, the
Nexperience system provides a secure, shared testing environment to
facilitate collaboration between testers, developers and device
manufacturers.
In
October last year, Nexperience said it'll launch a remote development
and testing service for the
BlackBerry developer community. The
service is to enable BlackBerry developers and testers to control via
the Internet numerous remote BlackBerry devices, including the
BlackBerry Pearl 8220 flip smartphone and the BlackBerry Bold 9000.
