Challenging device availability for Developer IDEs

Physical Device Sharing

Limited access to certain mobile devices or operating systems at the right time poses challenges for developers.

IDE Device Access Complexity

Requiring direct device access from a specific Integrated Development Environment (IDE) adds complexity to the workflow.

Emulators and Simulators Miss Bugs

Identifying and resolving software bugs after mobile app development stages can lead to costly delays and compromises in product quality.

Shift Left on Real Devices

By replacing emulators or simulators with real devices, you can “shift left” in your development process. This ensures developers have access to many mobile app dev tools, helping identify errors earlier in the cycle before the product reaches QA.

Autoplay Speed

7000

Virtual access to real devices blends live and automated testing, provides vital metrics like CPU usage and network performance, and enhances apps development tools for efficient optimization earlier in the SDLC.

Autoplay Speed

7000

A virtualized USB connection enables remote debugging for both iOS and Android apps, allowing developers to troubleshoot and fine-tune their applications without the need for physical proximity to the device.

Autoplay Speed

7000

Accessing cloud or local devices directly from the developer workstation eliminates physical device sharing, ensuring easy access to a variety of devices and optimizing development tools for comprehensive testing and early debugging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of software do mobile developers use?

Mobile developers utilize Integrated Developer Environments (IDEs) for comprehensive development environments, version control systems like Git for tracking code changes, and mobile app developer tools such as Kobiton for ensuring app quality across numerous devices and operating systems.

An IDE combines a code editor, compiler, and debugger into one interface, streamlining the app development process by providing all the necessary mobile app dev tools in a single environment, thus enhancing productivity and reducing setup complexity.

Swift and Objective-C dominate iOS development, while Kotlin and Java are preferred for Android. JavaScript, through frameworks like React Native, enables cross-platform development, allowing developers to target both iOS and Android with a single codebase.

The choice between iOS and Android hinges on the target user base and app requirements, and most organizations develop for both platforms with the goal of keeping functionality consistent. iOS is favored for its lucrative market, whereas Android offers broader reach. Cross-platform development frameworks offer a balanced approach for targeting both platforms efficiently.

We developed virtualUSB with a clear vision in mind: to transform the way developers debug applications. Our goal was to enable developers to uncover and fix bugs more efficiently, ultimately saving time and resources. By facilitating direct access to real devices from the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) of their choice, such as Android Studio or Xcode, we simplify the development process. Additionally, virtualUSB fosters a stronger collaboration between development and Quality Assurance (QA) teams, ensuring a smoother workflow and higher-quality software releases.

Kobiton virtualUSB is a downloadable desktop client designed to revolutionize the debugging process for developers. It allows users to connect to real mobile devices as though they were physically plugged into their workstation. This innovative mobile app dev tool is compatible with MacOS, Windows, and also accessible via a Command-line Interface (CLI), offering unparalleled flexibility in mobile testing for both developers and QA teams. With virtualUSB, the constraints of physical device testing are eliminated, streamlining the development and testing process for mobile applications.

Additionally, Kobiton offers AI-augmented testing tools, including scriptless automation for test creation without coding, and Appium script generation for automating test cases, significantly enhancing QA efficiency and reducing manual errors.
