As mobile applications grow more complex, so do their risks, but security testing can be viewed as a roadblock to hitting development timelines. However, thoroughly testing your mobile application during the build process, instead of bolting security on after the fact, is key to reducing risk. Identifying vulnerabilities and exploits earlier in the process means more time for remediation and quality assurance. Automating tasks, such as the walk through of an application, and OWASP testing, reduce overall testing time within the development cycle while accelerating time to market. Together, Appium and Corellium can help teams scale, streamline, and increase efficiency throughout the mobile app development and testing process.
Two of the biggest challenges in mobile application testing and development are time and resources. Manual application testing means less time is available for investigating deeper vulnerabilities and exploits, potentially leaving risks unchecked. Long wait times for physical devices, limitations on capabilities of testing os and device combinations, and jailbroken devices, result in less thorough testing. Appium and Corellium empower your development, security, and testing teams to reduce friction by leveraging a virtual device hardware platform and merging it with a powerful automation framework.
Appium lets your team write automated tests that mimic real user interactions with your mobile application – across platforms, in your team's favorite programming languages, without needing to modify your app to do so. This eliminates slow, prone to error, manual processing, and testing. It also enables your team to build security into existing test automation, reducing friction between testing and security teams. You can run those automated tests on Corellium’s virtual hardware platform with any OS and mobile device combination. Most importantly your teams can repeat this process easily.
Just build the mobile app, use Corellium’s easy to use browser-based interface to choose the mobile device(s) and os(es) to test it on. Then run an Appium test automating a walkthrough of application usage. Lastly, automate your OWASP testing using Corellium Viper with MATRIX to get a report, including detailed evidence, for fast remediation. Corellium’s platform makes it easy to tear down the environment and repeat. It also makes it easy to snapshot the device and share, roll back the device to perform more or additional testing or create and test a different os and device combination concurrently. Your organization can decrease cycle time for tests, lower infrastructure costs, and scale testing across multiple versions and device types, while using automated scripting for application user behavior.
