Electric Cloud Announces First Solution to Accelerate and Manage Software Builds and Tests for the Android™ Platform
Reduces Costs and Speeds Time to Market for Mobile Device Developers Targeting Symbian, Windows, and Android Devices
Sunnyvale, Calif., March 31, 2009 — Electric Cloud® today announced support for Android software production, in addition to all other major mobile operating systems. The Google Android™ operating system (OS) is being adopted beyond original expectations*, and mobile device software development teams around the globe are struggling to address the complexities of supporting yet another mobile OS while maintaining competitive release schedules. Electric Cloud is addressing this complexity with an enterprise-class software production management (SPM) solution that is built specifically for multi-platform, high-volume development environments.
"Our solution has been adopted by seven of the ten largest mobile device providers for two simple reasons: we reduce development costs and speed time to market for handsets," said Mike Maciag, Electric Cloud CEO. "These vendors have the combination of complex software and many different handset models on which to build and test the software. Our products enable this to happen 10 to 20 times faster."
Specifically for Android, the company provides the only way to guarantee that builds of the Android code base and the custom extensions that all handset vendors add to that code base can be accelerated by 10-20x. This is made possible by ElectricAccelerator® which is the leading build acceleration solution, and is the only solution today that supports Android, Windows®, and Symbian® targets.
ElectricAccelerator leverages patented technology that identifies and monitors job dependencies for fast and accurate parallel builds. Faster, more accurate builds dramatically reduce the time developers spend waiting for their builds to complete and enables them to do complete builds before checking in their changes. This means faster time to market, and, ultimately, better code quality.
ElectricCommander® automates the testing of Android applications by managing the state of and directing commands to an Android device. It can fully automate builds and tests in an Android environment, which reduces development costs and enables the development team to focus on more strategic tasks.
All Electric Cloud's SPM solutions for Android (and other mobile OSs) are available now. For sales information please contact sales@electric-cloud.com or call +1 408.419.4300.
