CTIA WIRELESS I.T. & ENTERTAINMENT, SAN FRANCISCO .— Keynote Systems (Nasdaq: KEYN), the global leader in on-demand mobile and Internet test & measurement solutions for continuously improving the online experience, today introduced Keynote Mobile Interactive Testing Environment (MITE). MITE is the industry’s first desktop testing tool that allows mobile developers to interactively test and validate mobile content over the Internet or live carrier networks, and across more than 1,000 mobile device profiles, in order to quickly understand the end user experience.

With new mobile devices coming out every day, mobile developers are challenged to create Web content that will perform correctly over mobile devices with varying capabilities, form factors and screen sizes. The added complexity of intricate carrier networks has further complicated the process. The lack of testing and validation tools is leaving developers with a hope-for-the-best deployment strategy. MITE solves these challenges by offering developers a cost-effective tool to test mobile content across thousands of device profiles conveniently from their desktops. As a result, mobile development and QA teams can quickly deliver superior mobile content optimized for today’s diverse mobile devices.
