So, with those pain points in mind, our initial tech preview will focus on five key use cases…
For the DEVELOPER: Over-the-Air Build Distribution – Developers can distribute new builds over-the-air to real devices for testing purposes; automatically ensures that testers have the latest build
For the TESTER: In-App Bug Reporting – Bug reports can be submitted directly from the app; available for pre- and post-launch; importantly, this also saves the contextual information around the bug, packaging up what is needed (like crash logs) to make it easy to get them to the developer
For the END USERS: In-App User Feedback – User feedback can be submitted directly from the app, enabling developers to easily spot trends, discover issues and receive new ideas from end users; also
…Crash Reporting – Automated, real-time crash reports are filtered by OS version, device and other parameters; available for pre- and post-launch
For the LOB / Digital Marketer: Sentiment Analysis, providing these users with details from the app stores on user feedback for their impressions or “sentiment” regarding mobile applications; this is based on crawling through every rating and review and then boiling it down to a single score as a means to measure user satisfaction… this will allow clients to monitor and measure how their mobile apps are performing in the eyes of users.
