Advantages and Disadvantages of Perfecto Mobile:
This is a cloud-based solution that makes use of a USB data power to connect to
devices. An optional high res camera is available as well.
One of the good things about this option is that it is web-based, which means
you do not have to worry about downloading and the installation of
additional software.
The company is known to be very responsive to requests like making offline
devices available.
HP and Perfecto worked together to integrate Perfecto Mobile with QTP and
QC, so if you are already using these products, then it makes a great choice.
The Perfecto device cloud includes devices on Indian carriers, so if you are
targeting India, then Perfecto is a better choice.
Perhaps most importantly, Perfecto Mobile is inexpensive giving users the
option to only pay for the time that they need.

Flexible Deployment:


Our MobileCloud Platform enables you to select the cloud deployment option(s)
that best fit your mobile application testing, compliance and coverage
requirements. Select one option or multiple deployment options - the "hybrid
cloud."
Public, Shared Cloud:
The public MobileCloud is a shared cloud comprising of the top 100
devices in the market. We constantly update our list in accordance with
market trends and customer requests. Usage is shared among all users. A
sophisticated reservation system lets users define their needs in advance
and reserve devices for a specific time slot.
Our public, shared deployment also allows on-demand access to
thousands of additional mobile devices which are not considered "top
100" but may still be required for your needs. The public cloud offering is
ideal for an application or mobile service which has been commercially
launched and require continuous testing on real devices.
Hosted, Private Cloud:
The deployment of choice by most of our enterprise customers who require
dedicated devices as-a-service available to their distributed teams at all times. A
private MobileCloud can be provided as a hosted, platform-as-a-service, solution
or be locally installed on the corporate premises. The hosted option is most
common among enterprise customers as it eliminates the logistics and reducing the
costs related to procurement, device management and installation of client
software, drivers and updates. Perfecto Mobile hosts and manages the devices in
one of its secure enterprise-grade data centers. The private MobileCloud
configuration gives your company unlimited usage of fully dedicated devices
according to your schedule and needs. The private cloud also offers enhanced
security options to meet your enterprise security policy and requirements.
Organizations with security concerns, compliance requirements and the need to
control sharing typically require this type of private configuration.
Local, On-premises Cloud:
MobileCloud Express, our "A Cloud In A Box," makes it easy for you to
get started testing mobile applications on real devices. This cloud-in-a-
box solution lets you set up a mobile application testing lab in-house -
complete with automated and manual testing capabilities. Built for fast and
easy deployment, our local deployment option enables corporate users to
securely access a local cloud of real devices (Smartphone's, Tablets and
Phablets) from anywhere on the corporate network. It is ideal for teams
requiring hands-on testing of on-board or connected device features.

Perfecto Mobile Automation: Testing for Mobile
Test automation enables you to extend your testing coverage, shorten your testing
cycles and replace repetitive and time consuming manual work.
The Perfecto Mobile system automatically runs testing scripts on real mobile
devices and can help you automate a significant part of your test cases.
In order to run automation scripts, the system:
Controls the devices by sending control commands via the data port
Analyzes the device's display to automatically verify whether the test results
appear on the screen as expected.
Test Automation:
The Perfecto Mobile system provides several levels of test automation:
Record & Play enables you to quickly and easily record a sequence of key
presses and touch events while activating the device, and repeat these
actions automatically. The system also records the waiting time between
your actions.
Enhanced Recording enables you to improve your recorded scripts and
make them more readable, robust and re-usable. Scripts can be enhanced by
adding:
o Low-Level Commands such as 'Type Text' or 'Ready Mode'. These
commands can replace several recorded key presses with a single
scripting building block. For example, typing a 20-characters URL on
the device will result in 20 recorded key presses that can be replaced
by a single script command Type Text (with the URL as a
parameter).
o Synchronization points recorded waiting times can be replaced by
Synchronization Points such as 'Wait for Text' or 'wait for Image'.
Based on screen analysis, the system can determine that the various
steps of the script are completed and that the script can advance to the
next step. Synchronization Points help overcome issues related to the
fact that mobile phones might behave differently every time you run
the script.
o Automated Validations using screen analysis, the system can
automatically validate that the expected results are or are not
displayed on the device.
