Editor's Notes
- #3 Leading brands trust Perfecto Mobile to help drive business success USAA: Leading Mobile First bank with a history of firsts – remote check capture (2009), voice assistant (2013) United: 3-star app. 15M downloads (73% iOS), 400K daily launches, 66% participate in loyalty program Dell: Top 10 Global e-commerce site ($4B) optimizing its mobile quality program, in anticipation of a complete traffic shift from web to mobile within 2yrs
- #6 Wearables from both Android and iOS are gaining momentum led by the smartwatches who are the main leaders in this industry followed by fitness bands, glasses and other devices. We are expected to see a growth of 35% in shipments in this market in the next 5 years.
- #10 Wearables are designed to run on Android and iOS platforms, however not in the exact “flavor”. for example, for Android wearables, the Android Wear version will be the OS being deployed and developed against, as a subset of Google's Android operating system). The wearables will serve various use cases such as Extensions of the large devices in order to answer a phone call or a text message, provide healthcare and fitness statistics, measurements and data collection, location based services and also productivity such in the use case of the calendar and smartwatch sync.

- #16 With the introduction of such new devices there will be implications on the existing SDLC processes as well as the quality requirements. Organizations need to look into their existing quality labs and make sure they are ready for such adoption. Leveraging a CQL will become a critical success factor in adopting these new devices. Among the key implications which we foresee are New OS platforms to support (like Android Wear) New wearables devices integrated into the device matrix for your mobile apps Specific test cases developed for the wearables functionality The CQL is the only sustainable solution which can support the above changes and be able to extend skills, tools, processes which are in use today by your mobile app developers into wearables.
