Perfecto Mobile and CloudBees Collaborate to Enable Cloud-based Continuous Integration with Real Mobile Devices

Partnership Accelerates Time to Market for the Continuous Delivery of Mobile Apps

BOSTON, MA – Perfecto Mobile, provider of the MobileCloud™ Platform and integrated mobile application quality suite, today announced a technology partnership with CloudBees, Inc., the enterprise continuous delivery leader, enabling CloudBees users to utilize the real mobile devices in the Perfecto Mobile MobileCloud for cross-platform functional and performance testing and real-time monitoring of mobile apps.

As mobile app development accelerates adoption of agile methodologies, businesses are experiencing increased pressure to improve their velocity of mobile app delivery without compromising app quality. This strategy is the foundation for Perfecto Mobile’s and CloudBees’ partnership, where users can leverage continuous integration and continuous delivery to shift mobile app testing earlier into the development process. This partnership supports Perfecto Mobile’s MobileCloud for Jenkins plug-in available for Jenkins users through two CloudBees’ continuous delivery offerings: Jenkins Enterprise by CloudBees and DEV@cloud.

"There is a shift happening in the market, causing enterprises to embrace new development practices like continuous delivery and continuous integration to speed development and improve end-user experience as well as meet the demand for high quality applications,” said Roi Carmel, Senior Vice President, Product and Strategy, Perfecto Mobile. “As continuous delivery adoption grows, teams are rethinking their app development process and are becoming more agile in order to iteratively deliver the high-quality app experiences demanded by users. This partnership is a natural fit as the need for developing the app, testing it, and driving the expected quality is met on a single platform.”

“The MobileCloud for Jenkins plug-in enables CloudBees customers to have a more integrated experience, leveraging Jenkins Enterprise to orchestrate and automate testing of their apps on Perfecto Mobile’s MobileCloud,” said Andrew Lee, vice president of business development at CloudBees. “The result is that developers can consistently deliver the higher quality applications their customers expect to meet the pace of industry demands.”

The MobileCloud for Jenkins Plugin offers developers access to the MobileCloud Platform and enables them to run automated unit, UI, and performance testing on real devices in a cloud-based solution. They can remotely access thousands of real mobile devices connected to cellular networks around the world and leverage them throughout the mobile app delivery lifecycle. Users can also run cross-platform test automation in Eclipse using Perfecto Mobile's Selenium WebDriver which supports all app styles - browser, hybrid and native.
