Applause Partners with Crittercism to Improve Mobile App Quality

App quality company Applause (formerly uTest) has announced its partnership with app performance management company Crittercism to combine the companies’ specialties into a suite of tools developers can use to manage their apps before and after launch. This will ensure consumers are receiving the best quality experiences possible, while also helping decrease time-to-market.

Using Applause, developers receive in-the-wild mobile testing prior to launching apps in full on app stores. This allows them to identify issues and fix them before releasing those apps to the general public, with a focus on user friendliness, localization testing, load and security testing for consumer privacy and more.

Once an app is live, Crittercism’s tools help developers monitor the app’s performance on the app store.
