Developers can also enjoy advanced automation features to facilitate and dramatically improve their testing procedures.

"Our Handset Cloud helps BlackBerry developers port and test their applications and websites on actual BlackBerry smartphones by spending only a fraction of what they would if they were to purchase all the necessary devices," said Eran Yaniv, CEO of Perfecto Mobile. "As of today, BlackBerry smartphones are the most highly demanded handsets in our service. Thus, we are excited to introduce a package that focuses on these smartphones and helps BlackBerry developers test more efficiently to meet their specific needs and requirements." The Handset Cloud supports a variety of BlackBerry smartphones and supports BlackBerry® 6 (a new operating system for BlackBerry smartphones). The service offers developers a variety of features and automated testing tools such as file transfer and over-the-air widgets to quickly download applications. Additionally, the service provides a get-log feature, power cycle, impressive trackball compatibility, digital screenshots, and the ability to record videos and export reports, as well as numerous other features. Advanced users can run automated tests across multiple devices in order to reach more robust test cycles or program their own custom usage scenarios.


The package for BlackBerry developers is currently available for 30 percent off the regular price. Developers can start with a free one-hour trial before making any commitment.

This year's winners of the BlackBerry Super Apps Challenge will be granted free hours of Perfecto Mobile's Handset Cloud for BlackBerry smartphones as part of the official prize package.
