While building mobile apps for any type of platform, present day software engineers are increasingly making use of distributed development approaches and component assembly and deployment instead of relying on green field code writing. Though these new methods offer a lot of benefits for them, they create a large number of highly configurable systems that traditional quality assurance (QA) techniques cannot scale.

Gorilla Logic stated that its newly unveiled Gorilla Logic Continuous QA Cloud, a cloud-based Quality as a Service (QaaS) offering, can automate and streamline mobile app testing enabling developers to realize enhanced quality and time-to-market.

The company went on to say that, along with its new MonkeyTalk automated testing tool, the Continuous QA Cloud solution should offer developers means to leverage a complete “Continuous QA” cycle when developing and deploying high quality mobile applications.

Monkey Talk can be utilized by developers to record manual test scenarios for automation and then upload their app and the tests to the Gorilla Logic Continuous QA Cloud. Both the solutions are to be used in tandem to manage pre-test configuration and setup, handle complex behaviors with custom logic in Javascript or Java and run those tests at any time when needed over simulator or on a real device. After the process is complete, users can get the results in just minutes, online or for secure download. They also will be paying for the test-time their process was running and not for the entire test software.

By bringing together an automation toolset focused on QA professionals with a zero-configuration, cloud-based, on-demand test execution and management platform, Gorilla Logic’s Continuous QA Cloud solves developer problems without hindering delivery speed or requiring extensive re-tooling or skills acquisition.

Some of the specific features of Gorilla Logic Continous QA Cloud are: scheduled or on-demand; configurable notifications for test results; complete test results can be viewed on-line, downloaded or emailed; complete audit trail and historical test results; users control role-based authorizations for anyone on their team; automation is made using web services for end-to-end zero-touch automation; and more.

“Functional testing always has been a challenge for agile development teams, and the new pressures in the mobile app space – shorter schedules, multiple device versions and more complex interactions – are driving teams nuts. Our customers are really seeking innovative solutions that can reduce their cost and time-to-market while improving overall application quality. Quality as a Service really cuts the Gordian Knot with an all-new approach that builds upon our years of experience building open source test tools and extending mobile app testing and quality to the cloud,” said Ed Schwarz, vice president of engineering and co-founder of Gorilla Logic, in a press release.
