TestQuest Expands Test Automation Solutions to Serve Commercial And Corporate IT Developers
MINNEAPOLIS and SAN FRANCISCO, October 27, 2004 – TestQuest Inc., the leader in functional test automation solutions for the mobile and wireless industry, today announced it is building on its success with handset manufacturers and wireless operators to provide the benefits of automated testing to corporate IT organizations and third-party developers of mobile enterprise applications.
The company's recent release of TestQuest Pro 6.0 provides Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and IT groups with a powerful and flexible test automation solution that addresses the complexity of mobile technologies, by automating the testing of any mobile application on any wireless platform or device. TestQuest is well-positioned to serve this segment, as its automated testing solutions already are used by five of the world's six largest handset manufacturers and three of the top wireless operators. Leading ISVs and IT groups from Fortune 1000 companies have turned to TestQuest’s automated testing solutions to help speed application release, ensure a quality end-user experience and enable companies to more quickly realize the expected gains of mobile solutions. Current customers include one of the world's largest express delivery companies, a leading snack food and beverage supplier, and a global media and entertainment company.
"Our latest TestQuest Pro release is designed to meet the test needs of IT groups and ISVs charged with providing reliable, mission-critical mobile enterprise applications," said Martin Hahn, TestQuest president and CEO. "With the demand for mobile enterprise applications exploding, TestQuest not only can help IT groups and ISVs ensure robust, high-quality applications; we also can help support and further growth across the entire mobile and wireless value chain."
Mobile enterprise applications are a very strong growth market. Industry analysts estimate that the percentage of IT budgets dedicated to mobile projects will double in the next four years, from the current 5 percent to about 10 percent by 2008. Additionally, mobile application adoption by enterprises is expected to increase at a cumulative annual growth rate of 60 percent for the next three years.
"Reliance on mobile solutions is expected to increase significantly over the next three years as organizations deploy them to streamline operations and maximize profitability. Given this, it is crucial for enterprises to have reliable mobile applications that best support their business operations whether provided by internal IT groups or ISVs or both," said Michael Doherty, research director at Ovum. “Test automation solutions help ensure that mobile applications work flawlessly and companies reap the anticipated productivity gains."
TestQuest Pro 6.0 offers features and enhancements to jump-start automated testing of mobile enterprise applications and speed their deployment. The solution integrates TestVerb TechnologyTM, TestQuest’s architecture and methodology for easy development and maintenance of automated test scripts. The 6.0 release offers a more powerful and productive integrated development environment (IDE), with TestVerb toolbars, speed buttons, innovative wizards and example projects. TestQuest Pro 6.0 gives users the unique ability to test applications on the actual device in a real-world environment, across different platforms and operating systems. Scripts can be re-used across devices and platforms, as well as shared across a corporate organization.
Software Development Technologies, a leading test transformation firm that works with CTOs worldwide in implementing enterprise test centers and deploying test technology regularly recommends TestQuest to its clients.
"We have the privilege of working with several product-driven companies where effective supply chain management is critical,” said Michael D. Sowers, executive vice president of SDT. “These Fortune 1000 companies regularly use mobile solutions to provide employees with the ability to quickly and efficiently access, share and disseminate accurate information for better decision making. Solutions offered by TestQuest ensure that these mobile applications and devices work exactly as designed in the field.”
