Telerik acquires Danish cross-platform app analytics software maker EQATEC

Acquisition enables Telerik customers to easily gain deep, real-world insights into application performance

WALTHAM, MA, March 7, 2013 – Telerik, an end-to-end provider of software development, lifecycle and content management tools and solutions, today announced that it has acquired EQATEC, creators of the cross-platform application analytics solution, EQATEC Analytics. Headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, EQATEC enables software development teams to improve decision-making based on real-time usage and application health data.

Application analytics delivers to developers the kinds of insights that solutions like Google Analytics have offered to web developers for years. From basic information, like number of users, user location, frequency of app usage, and duration of usage sessions, to fine-grained insights into use of specific features, EQATEC Analytics offers a complete picture of app usage across desktop and mobile platforms. In addition, application health is monitored by capturing crash reports and exceptions, enabling developers to quickly identify and fix problems. EQATEC Analytics eliminates the guesswork and empowers data-driven development decisions.

The acquisition of EQATEC complements Telerik’s portfolio by tapping into important technology trends and reinforcing Telerik’s leadership as an end-to-end provider of application development solutions. According to Forrester Research, “You cannot pursue the cool new movements such as cloud, big data, and development + operations (DevOps) if your basic monitoring is in shambles… Leaders understand that they need to get the basics right before moving in more ambitious directions.”[1]

“EQATEC Analytics adds an important piece to our ALM stack. Dev teams can now know for sure how their software is used and improve it accordingly,” said Svetozar Georgiev, Co-founder and CEO, Telerik. “The integration of our two companies aligns perfectly with our vision of the future and long-term strategy for success. EQATEC is synergetic with Telerik, from both a product and a cultural standpoint – it’s a good fit that will benefit our customers across the board.”

EQATEC's application analytics supports all popular application platforms across desktop, web, and mobile, including: .NET, .NET CE, Java, COM, Silverlight, Win32/C++, iOS, Android, Windows Phone 7, and JavaScript (coming soon). The solution is available both as a cloud-based SaaS offering, and as on-premise implementation for large enterprise customers with strict data usage requirements.

“We are proud that we have built a solid and highly scalable solution, used by customers like the Danish Post, APC by Schneider Electric, Widex, PhaseOne and GN,” said Eigil Rosager Poulsen, Co-founder and CEO, EQATEC. “By joining forces with Telerik we will take the product to new heights and turn it into a market leading cross-platform application analytics solution.”

“With a focus on quality, service, and expertise, Telerik is the best home for us, as we bring EQATEC to the next level,” said Morten Damsgaard, Co-founder and CTO, EQATEC. “Being part of a highly-successful, worldwide organization will ensure that our solutions continue to evolve as the industry shifts, providing the highest quality, fully-rounded solutions available.”

As part of the acquisition, Telerik will retain all EQATEC employees as well as the Copenhagen office, with plans for expansion in that region. The company will continue offering the products as SaaS as well as on-premise deployments for enterprise customers.

Version 2.0 now available for free download on Apple App Store

WALTHAM, MA, March 5, 2013 – Telerik, an end-to-end provider of software development, lifecycle and content management tools and solutions, today announced Version 2.0 of its Test Studio for iOS. Telerik’s automated testing tool for mobile iOS apps introduces a cloud sync web portal for test automation and user feedback within a single offering and can be used for native, web and hybrid app testing. Test Studio for iOS is currently available for free download on the Apple App Store.

According to Forrester Research, “When talking to successful mobile shops, we've heard this again and again: Make sure your app works before you submit it to an App Store. It seems like a simple statement, and yet it's not what we see development shops practicing… It's not as easy to force an app update on customers' devices. Even though the app stores make the process straightforward, users want to know why they are upgrading and do not have to do so. The implication: You'll need to make thorough testing a regular part of your faster development process — and be very confident that your new releases work for all users.” [1]

Test Studio for iOS provides an advanced and reliable solution for ensuring an iOS app works as expected, prior to launch. With the latest release, Test Studio for iOS is the only solution available with both test automation and user feedback within a single solution. This is done via the cloud sync portal, giving developers the opportunity to get real-time feedback from users while tracking automated tests and results. Also, customers can use the Test Studio for iOS API Framework to write automated UI tests of their iOS and mobile web applications.

Some of Test Studio for iOS feature highlights are:

• The first product of its kind to provide support for web, native and hybrid iOS apps, including native iOS controls.
• Test Studio for iOS does not rely on image-based element detection but employs object-based recording. All recorded test steps are based on element locators, ensuring that the correct element is targeted when tests are played back.
• The only automated testing tool for mobile (iOS) websites and apps that is currently available for free on the Apple App Store.

“Test Sutdio for iOS is a serious mobile testing solution,” said Christopher Eyhorn, Executive Vice President, Telerik Testing Division. “Unlike competitors, Test Studio for iOS combines mobile test automation and end-user feedback into a single product to help iOS developers throughout the entire app launch process. It is a free tool that provides in-depth test automation capabilities, ensuring the quality of iOS apps and websites are on par with user expectations.”

Test Studio for iOS is part of the Test Studio product line, delivering solutions to meet all software testing needs, regardless of size and development model. Test Studio is Telerik’s flagship product for functional, performance and load testing for web and desktop applications. For more information or to download Test Studio for iOS, please click here. You can also register to learn more during our informative webinar taking place Wednesday, March 13 at 11:30am ET.

Pricing and Availability

Version 2.0 of Test Studio for iOS can be downloaded for free from Apple’s App Store directly to an iPhone, iPad or iPod device. The app features mobile web testing capabilities only. The product extension for testing native and hybrid apps can be downloaded free of charge from Telerik here. As a special introductory offer, the cloud sync of tests, results and feedback feature will be available for free until May, 2013. Future pricing plans can be reviewed here.
