Cloud-based testing on virtual Android devices leads to increased cost savings. It allows for testing on a wide array of mobile devices connected to active networks around the world, thereby improving both quality as well as reliability. Neev used Perfecto Mobile’s testing platform to test the client’s Mobile App and realized multiple benefits.

The Client

‘Tripflick’ is a Singapore-based tourist information services company aspiring to become a global leader in its market. TripFlick provides personalized travel recommendations, providing rich information, based on user interests, profile and location.

Business Need

Often a great Android App gets poor ratings from users using a specific Android device. This can be avoided easily by testing the App across an array of virtual Android devices.
The mobile market is very fragmented and dynamic. Testing on a number of target devices is necessary to ensure stability and smooth functioning on these devices. The client wanted the multi-device testing to be as cost effective as possible.

Neev Solution

There are many devices for a given mobile OS, differing in display, controls, screen resolution, performance and usability. In order to ensure product quality and client satisfaction, Neev used Perfecto Mobile’s cloud-based testing platform to test the app before launching it. This ensured that the testing process was relatively inexpensive and did not require a physical device.

Neev tested the Tripflick App in 35+ devices from manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony, HTC, Motorola etc.
