Perfecto Mobile Extends Jenkins Integration to Support Customer Shift towards Continuous Integration

CI for mobile allows for testing to be integrated earlier and more frequently in the mobile app development process.

BOSTON, MA – Perfecto Mobile, the world’s leader in mobile app quality, today announced its MobileCloud plugin for Jenkins, enabling Jenkins users to automate and accelerate testing with real devices during the Continuous Integration (CI) process. The plugin allows testing to be integrated during each development build and also offers seamless connectivity to Perfecto Mobile’s Continuous Quality Lab.

As mobile app Dev/Test teams embrace CI, the need for Continuous Quality becomes the next crucial step. Perfecto Mobile is the only solution that offers a state-of-the-art Continuous Quality Lab designed to grow and scale with the needs of enterprise development teams, allowing users to leverage existing tools for seamless integration and automate their processes to deliver continuous quality. This enables Dev/Test teams to develop more efficiently and with fewer risks, resulting in more satisfied users.

"Perfecto Mobile’s Plugin and Continuous Quality Lab offers the Jenkins community an important component to support the shift to CI with testing that is automated, scalable and includes all of the devices available on the market,” said Steven G. Harris, SVP of Products, at CloudBees, the enterprise Jenkins Company. “The MobileCloud plugin for Jenkins is testing throughout the entire application lifecycle–from development through production—providing real-time insights and feedback to ensure the optimal mobile app quality."

Powered by Perfecto Mobile’s MobileCloud, the Continuous Quality Lab is a unified real-device lab that supports the modern mobile app development lifecycle from design through post-release monitoring. The Continuous Quality Lab is comprised of services to manually test apps, automate integrated functional and non-functional testing and proactive application monitoring. The enterprise grade lab is open and pre-integrated into popular development and quality tools.

"Development teams are striving to deliver apps faster, which in turn is driving the market to shift towards Continuous Integration and incorporate quality throughout the entire app development cycle. As a result, enterprises are looking for a process to ensure continuous quality as they try to keep pace with this rapidly evolving market all while reducing risk,” said Roi Carmel, Senior Vice President of Products and Strategy, Perfecto Mobile. “Perfecto Mobile meets this need with its ability to provide access to real, carrier-connected devices on a global basis, increasing mobile app release velocity without compromising on quality."
