Allowing mobile developers to test and validate content quickly, Keynote Systems (News - Alert), a provider of on-demand mobile and Internet test and measurement solutions, has introduced Keynote Mobile Interactive Testing Environment (MITE). Allowing mobile developers to interactively test and validate mobile content over the Internet or live carrier networks, MITE is the industry’s first desktop testing tool.

 

With Keynote MITE, users can have interactive testing and validation of mobile content right on their desktops. They can create new device and network profiles from the desktop for instantaneous feedback; record and playback scripts with advanced scripting features such as conditioning coding; emulate more than 1,000 device profiles from the continuously updated mobile device profile library; test and validate mobile content quickly and easily across multiple device profiles; send and receive SMS messages to audit common short codes; reduce cost and time to market while helping to deliver a better end user experience; and see download times for the entire page and all the redirections the browser took to download the mobile site.

 

With the emergence of new mobile devices every day, mobile developers now need to create Web content that performs equally over a mobile phone. With varying capabilities, form factors and screen sizes, this is easier said than done. The process is further complicated with the added complexity of intricate carrier networks. The lack of testing and validation tools is leaving developers with a hope-for-the-best deployment strategy. By providing developers a cost-effective tool to test mobile content across thousands of device profiles conveniently from their desktops, MITE solves these challenges. Now, a superior mobile content that is optimized for today's diverse mobile devices can quickly be delivered by mobile development and QA teams.

“Mobile is the fastest growing mode of access for online content, and developers can’t wait to ensure their content is compatible across devices,” said Nisheeth Mohan, mobile product manager, Keynote Systems. “With MITE, Keynote is making it easy, fast, reliable and cost-effective to test and validate mobile content.”
