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."

Test include:
- Enables fully automated QA testing for Appdome-protected
mobile apps
