IBM’s statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or

withdrawal without notice at IBM’s sole discretion.

Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product

direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.

The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment, promise,

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks

in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will

experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the

amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage

configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an

individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.



Mobile is different:

• Transformational business models

• Faster lifecycles

• More iterative

Mobile is the NEXT dominant phase of computing

Extend existing business capabilities to mobile devices

Transform the business by creating new opportunities



Quality is critical for mobile applications

� Customer facing (B2C) applications

� ‘Face of the Business’

� Engage customer personally and drive loyalty

� User experience is key to brand perception

� Employee facing (B2E) applications

� Increase worker productivity

� Speed decision making and action

� Poor user experience compromises

investment

No more 1 star ratings!



How is mobile application testing different?

� Device platforms, fragmentation, and growth

• iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone,

Symbian, etc.

• Multiple form factors and screen resolutions

• Device refresh every 24 months

• In 2011, over 300 new devices released

� New capabilities to test

• Camera, GPS, direction, orientation, voice, etc.

� More network considerations

• Multiple carriers, variable throughput and latency,

disconnected use, network switching, etc.

� User experience is more critical

DeviceAnywhere – access to real devices in the Cloud

Keynote’s DeviceAnywhere platform enables the mobile testing process with:

�Cloud-based platform providing access to real mobile devices from anywhere

�Manual testing and collaboration features for new feature and compatibility testing

�Automated testing for smoke and regression testing, accelerating test coverage and time to market



How it Works – DeviceAnywhere controls real devices over the Internet

Real Devices, hosted by Keynote or located in your test lab

Your computer, connected to the internet

Your key

Importance of testing on real devices

Different screen resolution / screen size

Unreadable text, blurred images, misalignment of screen elements, and items that fall off thescreen.

Android Customizations

On-screen and physical controls that function differently across devicesCustomized handling of inputs and events (e.g. Samsung Swype vs. default Android keyboard).

Memory / CPU Low or insufficient memory or processing power. Impacts of other services running on the device.

Mobile device characteristics that impact the quality of your application or website, but

are not easily verifiable using an emulated phone or browser, include:



Use RQM and DeviceAnywhere to test mobile apps and websites on real devices
