The key challenge facing mobile development software companies: high cost of supported devices

Long testing cycles

Companies that deliver mobile software have codebases that have to be tested on multiple devices—a huge matrix of test platforms.

This means longer feedback cycles which causes repeated delays in delivery, and huge stress on developers.

Inefficient cloud spending on tests

The easy answer to speed up tests is to spin up more mobile devices. However, every new device means additional capex. Importantly, greater complexity in managing, maintaining these devices.

The above challenges have a direct impact on the delivery cycle time—your developers are frustrated waiting for tests to be run on various platform to validate their changes.

Our productivity loss is about 30-40% every day. I log into see if my builds ran after I put my kids to bed. This is just frustrating.

Radically accelerate your delivery velocity

Smarter testing to shorten your test cyles with lower mobile spending

Launchable’s Predictive Test Selection technology uses ML to predict which tests are likely to fail based on incoming commits. Developers can use the subset to shorten test suites runtimes and/or shift-tests earlier in the development cycle, radically improving feedback time. Faster feedback time leads to faster dev loops, faster delivery and happier developers.

All this, while reducing your capex spend for mobile devices because we enable you to pack more tests on the existing devices. Lower costs while delivering quality code and higher velocity means that leaders can efficiently allocate budget elsewhere.

Launchable saves us 25% of resources on the mainline build while going faster.

Dynamic smoke testing to test more at optimized spending

Teams often want to test earlier in the cycle—think bring post-merge tests into pre-merge test runs. Teams often cannot do this because of their inability to pick the right tests to run earlier. They either have to create static smoke tests or run the entire suites earlier leading to prohibitively high testing spend.

Teams can now use Launchable to shift-tests earlier in the development cycle—think Dynamic Smoke Tests.

This helps developers find failures fast, iterate faster and release software with high confidence. They do so while making the most efficient use of their testing budget.

The Launchable Test Intelligence Platform also offers Test Insights to find inefficient test suites, and Test Notifications to speed up feedback to developers.

Works with your existing tools, languages and processes

Results in weeks—no months-long DevOps transformations

The ML-based approach from Launchable means that it can work with existing languages and tools. Developers start seeing their dev cycles go faster withouth doing any changes to their processes.
