Certification is an important aspect of mobile application development. While there are a significant amount of mobile applications available, consumers want to rely on the content and applications they are putting on their personal devices; which often store valuable personal information. Additionally, consumers need to ensure that the content is compatible with their device.

For these reasons, application stores have been implementing certification programs. These programs range from a high-level certification process, to some that require hardly any at all. Those with less stringent requirements can be subject to criticism by consumers and the industry for inferior quality. Certification is a tool developers can utilize to guarantee that their applications will operate properly, and can be trusted by consumers.

“Our goal is to make launching MMS campaigns a smooth process for our customers,” said Jay Emmet, general manager of OpenMarket Inc. “This is why we have joined efforts with DeviceAnywhere. Now our customers have access to another option for certification to ensure efficient testing of their mobile applications.”

“By creating Proof Center, we are saving developers a significant amount of time and money, not to mention frustration. Although necessary, certification has arguably been the most arduous and least enjoyable aspect of mobile application development, as any developer will tell you. Thankfully that’s now a thing of the past,” explains Faraz Syed, CEO and Co-Founder of DeviceAnywhere.
