Got Mobile?

Pros

  • Test developers can easily install third Party applications or APK files on the remote devices using their Install widget.
  • Perfecto Mobile Cloud provides a Hybrid objects approach, which consists of both Visual (OCR) based objects and native objects for iOS/Android applications.
  • Provide 3 different cloud based deployment options as part of their offering.

Cons

  • Slow response. The perfecto environment is considerably slow and the mobile device response time is slow.
  • If a particular device is checked out by a user, the next user needs to wait for a specific amount of time before they could use it. Lot of valuable testing minutes are wasted.
  • Software updating is painfully slow by Perfecto organization. Needs to be done quickly in a timely manner.

Return on Investment

  • Improve effectiveness of QA testing process.
  • Camera is accessible to the users but the view behind the camera is grayed out. In this aspect, some camera based functionality such as taking snapshot of the vicinity or barcode scanning through camera would not be working.
  • Non functional testing is hard to administer especially through cloud.

Return on Investment

  • Helped automation and hence reduced costs.
  • Not cheap so returns take longer time.
