Mobile Testing Partnership Announced

Outsourced mobile development and testing firm InfoStretch has partnered with Canadian-based crowd-sourced testing and MR firm Mob4Hire to offer enhanced handset and application testing solutions for enterprise mobile developers.

The co-marketing agreement promises developers a global reach of handset and application testing 'by real people, on real phones all around the world'.

The partners say mobile market fragmentation means software developers are faced with ensuring that their software works properly on 25,000 different handsets, 700 different networks and a multitude of operating systems, platforms and browsers worldwide.

InfoStretch specialises in mobile application development testing and certification services, while Mob4Hire offers access to tens of thousands of mobile users on over 330 operators in 105 countries worldwide for crowd sourced testing and market research purposes.

Mob4Hire CEO Stephen King, whose article 'Fear the One Star' appears in our leading edge MR section MRT this month, comments: 'As the age of the app store matures and grows, we are seeing more enterprise customers reaching out to us to add our unique offer to their development and testing needs. Our partnership with InfoStretch adds depth and breadth to our offer and is a perfect complement for large projects that require additional strategic and project management value.' Rutesh Shah, CEO - InfoStretch Corporation, says: 'We are thrilled to partner with Mob4Hire and be able to offer robust testing solutions to enterprise customers, who need comprehensive test coverage on global devices that are tested in real-time by real people in real locations'.
