Testing teams can now view Samsung's first 1080p screen with pixel-perfect resolution
SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Keynote® (NAS: KEYN) , the global leader in Internet and mobile cloud testing and monitoring, today announced support for the Samsung Galaxy S4 on its DeviceAnywhere mobile testing platform. Samsung's latest smartphone is arguably the hottest device launch in 2013, and having it available on the industry's leading mobile testing platform in time for its general availability gives developers and QA teams a leg up on ensuring the quality of their apps and websites on what's certain to be a big seller. The introduction of the Samsung Galaxy S4 provides yet another reason to test in the cloud, rather than owning and maintaining a large bank of mobile devices.
Delivering a consistent high-quality mobile app and Web experience continues to be a major challenge for companies interested in reaching a diverse universe of mobile users. While the introduction of new devices brings exciting new capabilities and functionality, they also introduce new mobile testing challenges for developers and QA teams charged with ensuring an optimal end user experience.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 embodies this change introducing 1080p resolution powered by a blazing fast processor, allowing content owners to deliver a rich visual experience to Samsung owners. Remote cloud testing can be difficult without a pixel-perfect view of the device screen and the ability to interact with the device's audio controls. Fortunately, Keynote's Direct-to-Device™ technology gives developers and testers access to rich feature functionality without the need to purchase each new handset to hit the market. Keynote has done the work for them.
"What we've done with the Samsung Galaxy S4 is pretty amazing," said Vik Chaudhary, vice president of product management and corporate development at Keynote. "Making this available for cloud testing in alignment with the launch date provides a real value to our customers. What's more, we've done it for a production device without sacrificing quality. Camera-based short cuts and jail-breaking techniques used in the market can sometimes help to bring a cloud testing device online quicker, but the quality is simply inadequate. Fortunately, our engineers have years of experience integrating new smartphones and tablets into our proven cloud testing platform."
Keynote's DeviceAnywhere Test Center Developer™ and Test Center Enterprise™ customers can immediately access the Samsung Galaxy S4 for manual interactive testing. They can also access the newly added BlackBerry Z10, the first available device featuring the BlackBerry 10 operating system. Further, customers can request these smartphones for their automation and monitoring environments.
Keynote is currently offering a free trial of the DeviceAnywhere platform. Trial users can experience real-device testing for mobile applications and mobile Web on the Samsung Galaxy S4, the BlackBerry Z10 and other popular smartphones including the Galaxy Note II, iPhone 5, iPad Mini, iPad 4, Nokia Lumia 920 and more.
