Silk Mobile provides an easy-to-use, comprehensive approach to functional testing of real mobile devices. Check out our datasheet for more detailed information.
Download the datasheetIt is all too evident something of a boom is going on in the testing sector, with thousands of new mobile apps and an ever-widening range of platforms, operating systems and networks to run on ─ there has never been so much software to test.

Read the guideAway from the Silk Mobile solution, we offer rigorous mobile performance testing with Silk Performer.

Silk Performer fully supports performance testing for mobile web applications and native apps, with profiles for all popular mobile devices and application types.
Many web applications look different on a mobile device. Application performance testing of mobile versions of web pages must be treated as separate applications, even though they might share some back-end components.
Silk Performer can record and simulate a variety of mobile browsers on Android, iOS, Windows Phone and Blackberry.
For unrivalled accuracy directly record traffic from a smartphone or tablet over the air via the Silk Performer proxy.

Don’t have access to specific mobile devices? Use a device emulator to record browser-based or native applications.
Accurately simulate mobile network connections with pre-defined profiles for phone standards like GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA+, and LTE.

Simulate massive traffic of mobile devices from different parts of the world and validate the impact these might have on your new or existing applications.
