Fixed Mobile Convergence

RealVNC and QualiSystems have reportedly launched a unified comprehensive solution that allows mobile vendors to easily perform thorough, automated tests on any device or platform.

The solution enables automated remote testing, while empowering secure and robust cross-platform remote control of mobile handsets. This helps mobile vendors to significantly reduce testing time, complexity and costs associated with these tests.

RealVNC is a provider of remote control software and QualiSystems (News - Alert). Its VNC Mobile Solution is an OEM package offering unique access to VNC remote control technology for mobile devices.

QualiSystems is a world pioneer in test automation for hardware, devices and embedded systems. The company’s unique TestShell system is a complete testing framework that provides end-to-end test automation without programming.

Mobile device vendors and mobile network operators can use TestShell solutions for mobile for all mobile testing requirements, while significantly reducing testing cost and time-to-market.

In a release, Lior Koriat, QualiSystems CEO, said they evaluated a number of ad hoc legacy offerings before deciding on RealVNC’s Mobile Solution.

He said this solution addresses all their target platforms in one user-friendly package and they are especially pleased with the common API that made it very simple to integrate RealVNC into their existing framework.

TestShell is now powered by RealVNC and TestShell Mobile agent and can thus easily manage and control feature phones as well as smart phones based on a growing number of operating systems.

Koriat added that this partnership allows them to open up the benefits of TestShell to even more mobile manufacturers and vendors.

“We are delighted to announce this new agreement with QualiSystems. Their global reputation, presence and market sector expertise will facilitate the adoption of VNC within the leading handset manufacturers,” said Dr. Andy Harter, CEO of RealVNC. “The introduction of VNC Mobile Solution further enhances and strengthens our product offerings and is testament to RealVNC’s dedication to product innovation.”
