Perfecto Mobile Launches a New Vodafone Widgets Testing Solution

TEL AVIV, Israel - Perfecto Mobile, a leading provider of remote access and automated testing solutions for mobile devices, today announced the launch of a new testing solution for Vodafone Widgets. The solution will enable Vodafone Widgets developers from all over the world to test whether their newly developed widgets work properly on a wide variety of real mobile devices.

Perfecto Mobile will demonstrate its innovative testing solution at the Over the Air event, a free grass-roots mobile developer event that will take place on September 25th-26th 2009 in the UK.

The new Vodafone Widgets Testing solution by Perfecto Mobile enables developers to access and control over the web a variety of mobile devices operating on the Vodafone network. Instead of purchasing many devices, Widget developers can easily remotely install their widgets onto the Perfecto Mobile devices and test them. Perfecto Mobile will make additional new devices available for Widget developers once they are introduced to the market.

The Perfecto Mobile devices run the Vodafone Widgets Application Manager and enable quick and efficient widgets testing. The service also introduces Structured Test Flows, that help widget developers ensure the completeness of their tests by following test scenarios based on Vodafone guidelines. This will enable developers to keep a record of their tests, improve their widgets’ quality, and increase the chances of these widgets to get approved and certified.

“The new Perfecto Mobile solution will help our developer community, located anywhere in the world, to test newly developed widgets on real devices and to perform the right tests,” said Amer Hasan, Senior Manager for Apps and Developer Programs, Vodafone Internet Services at Vodafone. “This will improve quality in the entire widget development eco-system and will help shorten the time it takes for widgets to get certified and launched in the market.”

“We are very excited to cooperate with Vodafone. The emergence of mobile widgets creates an opportunity for mobile application developers as well as web developers to easily develop innovative applications for mobile with lower entry barriers,” said Eran Yaniv, CEO of Perfecto Mobile. “One of the main challenges developers face is the need to maintain a high level of quality while minimizing costs. Our role is to help the developer community improve quality and the new solution is focused on that.”

Perfecto Mobile’s Widget testing solution will enable developers to quickly test how their widgets work in real market conditions. The Perfecto Mobile service eliminates the need to invest in purchasing many mobile devices and will thus help developers cut expenses and shorten time-to-market.
