TestQuest CountDown™ Platform Dramatically Speeds Mobile Device and Application
Product Launches While Ensuring Best End-User Experience
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, SEPTEMBER 18, 2006—TestQuest, Inc., the leader in test solutions
for the wireless industry, has formally introduced TestQuest CountDown, the first
test automation and management platform specifically designed to accelerate the
development and launch of mobile devices and applications.
CountDown meets the challenges of today’s complex, fast-moving mobile marketplace
by optimizing the testing of any mobile device or application by device manufacturers,
network operators or application developers. By supporting collaboration and
test asset sharing among distributed test teams — across a campus or around the
world — CountDown integrates test processes and information sharing across the
mobile industry value chain leading to accelerated launches of higher-quality
mobile devices and applications.
“Test requirements are increasingly complex, and test loads are expanding”,
said Ryon Boen, TestQuest vice president of products. “At the same time, test
organizations are being tasked with getting new product offerings to market before
competitors, while increasing quality and reducing costs. Unfortunately, the rapid
proliferation of mobile devices, applications and services, and their growing
sophistication, are fast outstripping manual test capabilities.”
"With obsolescence being high stakes for handset technologies, compressed time-to-market
periods must be a strategic mandate for operators," said Frank Bernhard, managing
principal and technology economist with OMNI Consulting Group. "Efficiency of
the device manufacturers' and operators' supply chain is critical, as well as
the necessary quality of a global rollout process that relies on automated testing
processes rather than mere manual intervention."
TestQuest CountDown offers four powerful applications:
· TestDesigner: A highly automated, intuitive, graphical environment
for the development of maintainable and reusable test cases.
· TestManager: A web-based environment for organizing, scheduling and
executing tests, and reporting the results.
· TestRunner: Critical automated test execution services that make anytime,
anywhere distributed testing happen.
· AssetManager: Shared repository of test assets, information and test
results; plus the intelligence to serve up the right test assets for the device
under test.
