A five-pillar cloud strategy
Next up was Perfecto Mobile, a company that has created a cloud-based platform for testing applications on a variety of mobile devices. A tour of the company’s Woburn-based data center revealed a proprietary piece of hardware that enabled smartphones to be cradled into rack servers, so testers using Perfecto’s cloud platform can test their applications against the actual devices, not merely emulators. Tablets also were plugged in to the servers, and could be hot-swapped in and out as needed.
Eran Yaniv, CEO and one of the founders of the company, said the company was founded in December 2006 and launched its MobileCloud product in 2009, built on five pillars: real devices, cloud architecture, cross-device automation with the understanding that manual tools are also required, covering the mobile application life cycle end-to-end, and extending existing application life-cycle management to mobile.
With a technology Yaniv called ScriptOnce, “Test engineers can create tests and run them on any handset without changes,” he said. In its data center, the company can run any of 500 devices to test against, though Android and iOS devices are most popular.
Perfecto Mobile has partnered with HP, and its technology is integrated with HP’s QuickTest Professional product, providing for functional and regression testing of mobile apps within QTP, Yaniv said.
The next direction for the company, he said, is application monitoring. “The idea,” he explained, “is for companies to be able to develop, test, deploy and monitor mobile applications and services with confidence.”
(In the days after our meeting, Perfecto Mobile was able to secure an additional US$15 million in venture funding to continue building out the platform.)
