Firebase Extension Expands Developer Choice
and Streamlines Automated Testing of Appdome-Protected Android and
iOS Mobile Apps in DevOps Pipelines
SINGAPORE,
April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Appdome, the mobile app
economy's one stop shop for mobile app defense, today announced at
Black Hat Asia an extension to its Build2Test automated testing
option for Google Firebase Robo Test. The extension enables mobile
developers, DevOps and QA teams with more mobile app testing
choices and streamlines the testing of Appdome-protected mobile
apps using Google Firebase Robo Test.
The Appdome Build2Test capability enables
automated functional testing of Appdome-secured mobile applications
inside mobile app testing services like Google Firebase Robo Test.
With Build2Test, Appdome-protected mobile apps recognize when
trusted automated mobile app testing suites are in use and allow
automated testing of the secured mobile apps without interruption.
The service logs all security events triggered by Google Firebase
Robo Test so the developer can track and monitor all mobile app
defenses in the QA, test, and release lifecycle. The Appdome
Build2Test service is part of the Appdome Dev2Cyber
initiative and is designed to accelerate the delivery of
secure mobile apps globally.
"Earlier this year, Appdome was the first mobile
app security vendor to be named as a DevOps platform leader," said
Chris Roeckl, Chief Product Officer
at Appdome. "Adding Google Firebase Robo Test as another option in
Build2Test takes us one step closer to solving one of the last
operational challenges of releasing secure mobile applications at
scale."
In continuous integration, continuous delivery
(CI/CD) pipelines, mobile app quality assurance is done via
automated testing services so the functionality of the mobile app
can be validated across hundreds or thousands of real-world mobile
devices and OS versions. However, automated testing services can
also leverage methods and tools that violate cybersecurity policies
or that cybersecurity professionals find problematic and dangerous
such as emulators, virtualization, resigning, debugging, dual
spaces, Magisk and more. Once security protections are added to a
mobile app, they can detect these methods and tools, and the
resulting cyber defense may prevent testers from using these
automated testing services. The new Appdome Build2Test for Google
Firebase Robot Test allows Appdome-protected mobile applications to
recognize the Google testing vendor and securely complete testing
runs without interruption.
"We support the mobile development community by
ensuring all Appdome-secured mobile apps deliver an amazing user
experience," said Karen Hsu, SVP
Mobile DevOps and Security at Appdome. "Adding Google Firebase Robo
Test to Appdome's Build2Test opens up this bedrock service and
empowers developers to ensure the highest quality and stability of
their protected applications with ease."
Advantages of the Appdome Build-to-Test for
Google Firebase Robo Test include:
- Enables fully automated QA testing for Appdome-protected
mobile apps
- Trusted mobile app testing services with Google Firebase
Robo Test
- Visualize Build2Test data for Google Firebase Robo Test
and other mobile app testing services in Appdome ThreatScope™
Mobile XDR
- Eliminate the need to test protected and unprotected builds
separately

defenses to ensure faster releases with improved DevSecOps
compliance
