Swisscom Selects Nexperience

Swisscom, one of Switzerland's telecoms provider, has selected the Nexperience system. Using the Nexperience system Swisscom will provide its internal users and partners, including device manufacturers and application developers, located anywhere in the world, with a secure environment where they can test embedded applications on pre-launched Swisscom handsets via the Internet. The Nexperience system will help Swisscom ensure the performance of embedded mobile applications on its handsets, and enable the Company to deliver new handsets to market on time. It will also help Swisscom reduce the costs and logistical efforts needed to manage the pre-deployment process.


"We typically have a very tight window to fully test embedded applications on our handsets. Given the logistical efforts needed to coordinate shipments of device prototypes to vendors all around the world, getting the testing done on time is a difficult process," said Lukas Fluri, Head of Devices at Swisscom. "The Nexperience system provides Swisscom with the ideal solution to resolve these issues, and it enables us to enhance the depth and breadth of our testing processes. Furthermore, Nexperience's ability to support new devices and add additional devices very quickly when needed was a primary reason for selecting this solution."


The Nexperience system provides a web-based user-interface through which Swisscom's internal users and partners can quickly and easily use any handset in the same way a real-life user would, through its keys, touch-screen, or QWERTY keyboard, to validate that the handset and applications work properly. The Nexperience system also enables users to automate standard testing tasks.


In addition to its powerful remote access capabilities, the Nexperience system will provide Swisscom with a shared testing environment to facilitate collaboration between testers, developers and device manufacturers. Through the Nexperience system all users will be able to quickly and easily recreate and share sessions, and collaborate and communicate with each other to resolve problems and avoid the finger pointing that often occurs in distributed environments.


"Nexperience provides Swisscom and its partners with a unique solution for testing pre-launched devices that no other vendor can match. Using the Nexperience system Swisscom is no longer limited by the number of device prototypes it has and can centralise its handset testing, thereby saving significant time, money and logistical effort. Most importantly, with the Nexperience system Swisscom can complete its testing of embedded applications within the tight schedules," said Eran Yaniv, CEO of Nexperien
