World quality report: mobile testing – behind the curve

Overview

The BYOD phenomenon may have its many benefits, but it equally has its many drawbacks. IT departments are now being forced to embrace BYOD as the new reality and address the unique challenges of this paradigm shift. This whitepaper details the changes BYOD has brought. For example, mobile has turned IT security inside out. A firm's entire infrastructure can no longer be tucked safely behind a virtual private network and firewall. In addition, the need for mobility has reset expectations of what constitutes application quality. Users expect robust performance and usability on the move, and are more inclined to tolerate the occasional glitch along the way, as long as the application performs well and is user friendly.
