TOKYO, July 3, 2015 - (ACN Newswire) - CyberAgent, Inc. (TSE:4751) has developed "STF-Smartphone Test Farm," a system for testing all terminals, including the latest model of Android, from a browser, and will make it an open source. This system can be used in both Japanese and English.
It is said that there exist 1.6 billion smartphones in the world and top 875 models occupy 87%*. The opportunities for users to use smartphones have been diversified, and the functions of smartphones have become multifaceted accordingly. It is expected that the number of smartphone models will keep increasing and the burden on service developers will get heavier accordingly. "STF-Smartphone Test Farm" is a system that enables app developers to test the displays on over 170 models of terminals, including the latest model of Android, easily from their browsers. With this system, it is possible to remotely control several devices on a browser, to check the designs of developed apps and websites at the same time, and obtain system logs as a list on a real-time basis, to debug them efficiently. In addition, it is possible to install an app (.APK file format) easily with "drag & drop" and run a remote shell command*2 of an actual device.
CyberAgent is actively operating the services for smartphones, and swiftly creating many smartphone-related businesses and services, the business proposal contents among directors "Ashita Kaigi (Tomorrow Meeting)," etc. "We are very delighted to release STF as an improvement method in the speed and accuracy of debugging which is the most important for app developers," said Masahide Koike, Managing Director of CyberAgent.
