Whether a company is creating mobile applications for e-commerce, customer service or internally to boost employee productivity, the rapid development and effective deployment of mobile apps has become a business imperative. The global mobile application market was estimated at $106 billion in 2018 and is expected to hit $407 billion by 2026; an annual growth rate of 18.4%, according to Valuates Reports.

The COVID-19 pandemic created another driver for adoption of cloud-based testing platforms, since mobile application testers lacked access to physical testing spaces where they could access and share an inventory of mobile devices.

The proliferation and ubiquity of mobile devices means developers need to test on more than 350 devices just to cover 90% of the mobile device market.

Cloud-based app testing platforms enable developers to manually test applications on an unlimited number of mobile devices, and to perform crucial measurements and tests of functionality like screen rendering.
