    Keynote Systems announces Mobile Web Perspective 5.0 for monitoring mobile sites

    -

    Keynote Systems, a global specialist in Internet and mobile cloud monitoring, today announced Keynote Mobile Web Perspective 5.0 (formerly known as Mobile Application Perspective).  Keynote Mobile Web Perspective (MWP) 5.0 allows Web operations teams to monitor 24/7 the availability, performance and quality of their mobile Web content from 50 global locations. 

    Keynote MWP 5.0 is powered by the actual WebKit browser engine allowing precise and accurate emulation of 11,000 device profiles, including the latest smartphones.  The new version of MWP introduces self-service scripting and provisioning so that Web operations teams can quickly deploy new monitoring scripts to keep tabs on their mobile Web sites and meet the increasing expectations for quality demanded by today’s mobile users.  Enterprises moving to the mobile Web with 3rd party partners, platforms and content providers will benefit from MWP’s 24/7 monitoring capabilities to ensure that service level agreements are being met.

    Keynote MWP 5.0 simulates the multi-threaded behavior of a mobile browser for specific requesting devices and therefore can accurately simulate the download process on a true mobile browser. Scripting is done with point-and-click ease using Keynote’s free tool called MITE or Mobile Internet Testing Environment. The user simply clicks on the ‘record’ icon and enters a starting URL and selects a device profile.  The user can then capture all of the interactions with the mobile Web site, adding custom validation checks along the way.

    “The lines between Web performance and mobile performance are blurring as an increasing amount of Web content, applications and services are being accessed from mobile devices,” said Vik Chaudhary, vice president of product management and corporate development at Keynote.  “As good mobile availability, performance and quality have becomes must-haves, operations and quality assurance teams need access to cutting-edge tools designed for the mobile world that allow them to understand and optimise experience for the mobile user. Keynote MWP 5.0 answers the call.”

    With Keynote Mobile Web Perspective (MWP) 5.0, users can monitor the availability, response time and quality of any mobile Web site by emulating any smartphone or feature phone.  Complex use cases that combine navigating Web sites on a desktop or mobile device and sending/receiving SMS messages can be monitored using MWP.  Companies can even set instant alerts to quickly inform key members of the operations team who can then address issues and minimise their impact.

    MWP 5.0 uses Keynote’s global test and measurement network to monitor the response time, availability, and quality of content from an end user’s perspective.  With MWP, IT staff can create a baseline and benchmark against competitors to understand how to build a more compelling and responsive experience, pinpoint areas to improve and enhance end user experience.
