MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS, BARCELONA, Spain, February 16 /PRNewswire/ --
Nexperience, a leading provider of remote access and automated testing
solutions for mobile devices, today announced that Swisscom, Switzerland’s
leading telecoms provider, has selected the Nexperience system. Using the
Nexperience system Swisscom will provide its internal users and partners,
including device manufacturers and application developers, located anywhere
in the world, with a secure environment where they can test embedded
applications on pre-launched Swisscom handsets via the Internet. The
Nexperience system will help Swisscom ensure the performance of embedded
mobile applications on its handsets, and enable the Company to deliver new
handsets to market on time. It will also help Swisscom reduce the costs and
logistical efforts needed to manage the pre-deployment process.
"We typically have a very tight window to fully test embedded
applications on our handsets. Given the logistical efforts needed to
coordinate shipments of device prototypes to vendors all around the world,
getting the testing done on time is a difficult process," said Lukas Fluri,
Head of Devices at Swisscom. "The Nexperience system provides Swisscom with
the ideal solution to resolve these issues, and it enables us to enhance the
depth and breadth of our testing processes. Furthermore, Nexperience’s
ability to support new devices and add additional devices very quickly when
needed was a primary reason for selecting this solution."
The Nexperience system provides a web-based user-interface through which
Swisscom’s internal users and partners can quickly and easily use any handset
in the same way a real-life user would, through its keys, touch-screen, or
QWERTY keyboard, to validate that the handset and applications work properly.
The Nexperience system also enables users to automate standard testing tasks.
In addition to its powerful remote access capabilities, the Nexperience
system will provide Swisscom with a shared testing environment to facilitate
collaboration between testers, developers and device manufacturers. Through
the Nexperience system all users will be able to quickly and easily recreate
and share sessions, and collaborate and communicate with each other to
resolve problems and avoid the finger pointing that often occurs in
distributed environments.
"Nexperience provides Swisscom and its partners with a unique solution
for testing pre-launched devices that no other vendor can match. Using the
Nexperience system Swisscom is no longer limited by the number of device
prototypes it has and can centralise its handset testing, thereby saving
significant time, money and logistical effort. Most importantly, with the
Nexperience system Swisscom can complete its testing of embedded applications
within the tight schedules," said Eran Yaniv, CEO of Nexperience.
