In November 2011, a start-up enterprise received tens of millions of dollars in financial support from the world's leading venture capital institutions. It is worth mentioning that its entrepreneurial positioning in the "mobile Internet quality Service experts", through the provision of mobile application development process of professional testing outsourcing services, thus becoming the cloud computing gold tide in the typical "water sellers."
Opportunity: Mobile Application Test
The industry has agreed that mobile internet will be the next gold mine. However, compared with the mature PC application test, the mobile application test still stays in the primitive "slash and burn" era. Many small and medium application developers are unable to complete the complex work themselves.
According to data from Mobilewalla, the world's 1 millionth mobile app was born in 2011, with an average of more than 500 Android apps and 700 Iphone\ipad apps per day, and the number is continuing to climb fast.
The problem is that the openness of smart platforms and applications also poses problems for the versatility of mobile applications. The current market on a variety of smartphones, terminals, a wide variety of versions. Android platform A new application can run on a certain machine, a network, not all models, all networks are compatible.
For example, a large number of Android 2.1 version of mobile apps, to get an Android tablet computer is not normal use, and some low-cost tablet ads said thousands of good, users take home, through the network to find hundreds of nominally available software, the result is less than 10 can play, This is tantamount to the user as a software testing engineer, for hardware manufacturers and even software manufacturers of the application experience, brand image is almost devastating.
In fact, like desktop computer operating system users, the mainland mobile terminals of consumers for a variety of applications quality requirements are not low. By contrast, an increasing number of user support for Apple's ipad tablet, iphone, and so on, is directly related to the systematic testing of software availability and the complexity of the mobile terminal model.
Why are test jobs overlooked by application developers and hardware vendors? From a professional point of view, mobile application testing is a lot of small and medium application developers, hardware manufacturers can not afford.
Mobile applications in the development process must use the real phone, in the real network environment to carry out the test, in order to enter the commercial. If the lack of distortion machine testing links, most likely to the application of the promotion and use of hidden dangers, once the problem will directly incur the user's complaints or abandonment.
Even with the use of different brands of mobile phones to test, but also face different handset manufacturers System version difference problem. For the standard unified Android system, the handset manufacturer's version is not exactly the same, MIUI, Le phone, the Charm clan, the Aliyun, these Android systems have already added many personalized things, causes the Android application to need to match separately.
A mobile application to be successful, the test before release is critical, mobile application developers encounter obstacles include testing efficiency, testing costs, and the rapid positioning problem. The current mobile application test relies on human resources to repeat the test dozens of times on one handset terminal, or even hundreds. Not only is the test efficiency extremely low, it is also difficult to reproduce the problem, and it is difficult for mobile application developers to efficiently and quickly develop and deliver new applications.
For mobile application developers, hardware vendors, a lot of trouble, has become a mobile application testing business opportunities.
Pioneer in the tide of mobile application development
Cloud Network (Testin) 's entrepreneurial team has many years of experience in it, the Internet and communications industry. The opportunity for mobile application testing requires cross-industry capabilities that are precisely what the team's core members have. Wang June and his partners, who had honed in Pica, became the first entrepreneur in the mainland to serve in the mobile application testing field.
Recently, cloud Survey network for mobile application developers, launched the Testin real machine automatic test platform.
As an independent third-party mobile Internet service platform, Cloud Survey Network (testin) is designed for mobile application development and service providers, including experience testing (Realtest), automatic adaptation testing (Realauto), intelligent Monitoring (Realmonitor), To provide users with professional based on real terminals, real mobile network across terminals, cross-network, cross-regional automated testing and monitoring services.
