A provider of performance testing and monitoring services for cloud and mobile applications, Apica, has recently announced service for a critical aspect the Mobile Application Management (MAM) lifecycle. Apica’s next generation WebPerformance Monitoring(WPM) service now has extended mobile application testing functionality.

Apica now has the ability to measure this performance of a mobile application from over 100 locations worldwide. By testing usage scenarios, flaws and bugs in the application’s development can be uncovered, analyzed and fix prior to launch or distribution.

Apica’s Test Specialist and Lead Developer, Thomas Wiik, is quoted in a recent release as saying, “Along with the increased usage of mobile devices for web browsing and web application access the related server platform must be able to cope with the increased load. We now have the ability to record and test application calls from three of the largest mobile platforms in the market. The development of more capabilities are under way with a Windows Phone 8 release planned for the summer timeframe.” Click here to read more about the Apica announcement.
