MTS launched Sunkey Toolkit, a service for remote testing of mobile applications and websites.
As stated in the company, the project has no production in Russia, the potential profit from the sale of products is more than 300 million rubles. If earlier companies and developers needed to purchase gadgets for testing on their own, then with the Sunkey Toolkit everything has become much easier.
With this project IT-specialists with one click get remote access to the serial storage of smartphones and tablets in the MTS system..
The list of devices available for testing already includes more than 300 models: from gadgets of the early 2000s to modern devices. The minimum cost of a test phone is 6 thousand rubles, the most expensive models on the market will cost 150 thousand rubles. Until the end of the year, the number of available devices exceed 1 thousand models.
Sunkey Toolkit allows you to implement projects using two modes: via API and web pages. Specialists can test web applications, sites, mobile applications, as well as conduct UI / visual testing using remote access to commonly used gadgets in the MTS system.
The service supports integration with Jira, Git, Appium, Allure, SSO and many others.
Sunkey Toolkit is a great testing solution that allows you to test faster, more conveniently and on a large number of gadgets at once. Today, our service already saves time and resources when testing applications of MTS internal teams. The savings from using the service is 160 hours per year for each development team.
— Pavel Voronin, First Vice President for Technology, MTS
MTS claims that with the help of the Sunkey Toolkit, up to 60% of errors are detected due to the presence of rare gadget models in the system. In addition, the service for collecting expenses for CAPEX (capital expenses) and payroll (payroll fund) – it saves up to 30% of the time of testers and development teams.
