TestFairy brings intelligence to the Android app testing world
NEW YORK, May 28, 2013 — TestFairy, the Android development tools company, has announced the release of its new application testing platform for small, medium and large Android developers. TestFairy answers a real need with its new Android testing service.
In today’s world, due to the well-known Android fragmentation problem, Android app testing is done by the crowd. Whether it is co-workers, social media friends, or a paid service, developers find it hard to know what exactly was tested, and if there was a problem, what exactly went wrong on the client’s side. TestFairy solves this problem easily by showing the developer a video of the exact test that was done, including detailed internal metrics such as CPU, memory, GPS, network usage, phone signal and a lot more. The service is extremely easy to use, and requires no SDK and no code to be added to the tested app as all the required changes are made in real time, automatically on the TestFairy platform.
TestFairy is free of charge for all users and will provide a premium paid version of the service later this year.

Yair Bar-On, CEO of TestFairy, said: "We are very excited with our new service, the feedback we got from customers is excellent, and to see apps going to the market after being tested on our platform makes us very proud. We made a huge effort to create a service that is extremely easy to use for developers and QA personnel at the same time, and we believe that this will be a key factor for our future success."
TestFairy was founded by Gil Megidish, CTO and Yair Bar-On, CEO who previously founded Macadamia Apps, who launched the app Groupshot, awarded "Best of 2012" in the photo category by Apple’s App Store editorial team.

The platform is extremely smart and very easy to use and will sure help us a lot in the future."
