GORILLA LOGIC RELEASES MONKEYTALK FOR CROSS-PLATFORM IOS, ANDROID FUNCTIONAL TESTING
New Open Source Testing Platform Helps Streamline the Delivery of Quality Mobile Applications
BOULDER, Colo., March 6, 2012 – Gorilla Logic, (www.gorillalogic.com), the leader in enterprise application development and automated mobile testing tools and services, today announced the availability of MonkeyTalk, a new cross-platform iOS/Android functional record/playback functional testing platform that unites the industry leading FoneMonkey for iOS and FoneMonkey for Android open source tools. MonkeyTalk provides a single, powerful, cross-platform testing environment that helps development teams speed the delivery of higher quality mobile applications. The power of MonkeyTalk is multiplied by Gorilla Logic’s new Continuous QA in the Cloud service offering (see today’s announcement entitled, “Gorilla Logic Announces New Cloud-based Quality as a Service (QaaS) Offering.”
“Mobile application testing services are poised for enormous growth in 2012 with U.S. companies rapidly accelerating their demand for the use of third-party mobile application testing tools and services,” said Rona Shuchat, program director at IDC. “With Gorilla Logic’s new Continuous QA Cloud offering, QA professionals can effectively and efficiently automate the testing of mobile apps across multiple devices and simulators (in any combinations) to meet the increasing demand for highly usable and high performing mobile apps.”
For the first time, QA professionals have a comprehensive solution for mobile application testing. MonkeyTalk fills a huge void in the application development/delivery toolkit by recording, playing back and validating any user interaction on any mobile device or tablet. MonkeyTalk handles any gesture on any component, and supports both iOS and Android, simulators or devices.
As part of MonkeyTalk platform, Gorilla Logic has introduced the MonkeyTalk Command Language, a simple, but powerful, keyword- and data-driven language for specifying functional test scripts. Designed for QA professionals, MonkeyTalk Command Language is intuitive, readable and easy-to-learn. MonkeyTalk can be generated automatically through recording or composed from scratch with the MonkeyTalk IDE or with any text editor. In addition, testers and QA professionals can extend MonkeyTalk with their own application-specific commands without any programming. MonkeyTalk’s JavaScript API also allows tests to freely mix JavaScript and MonkeyTalk for enhanced control.
“We’ve immersed ourselves in the functional testing tools space for four years with thousands of teams using FlexMonkey and FoneMonkey, so we were able to step back and redesign with a focus on how people work in the real world,” said Edward Schwarz, vice president of engineering and co-founder of Gorilla Logic. “The MonkeyTalk command language as well as comprehensive support for JavaScript-based test scripting are examples of listening to QA pros talk about what they need to really drive value.”
Key features of MonkeyTalk include:
- Powerful data-driven functional testing for iOS and Android
- Recording and playback of user interface interactions
- Verifying expected versus actual results
- Generating readable, maintainable scripts, as well as supporting easy creation of scripts from scratch
- Automatically converting scripts to JavaScript which can be extended with custom logic
- The ability to run in continuous integration environments
- Free, open source licensing
“With MonkeyTalk, we’re taking the whole mobile testing space to the next level – not only uniting our tools across platforms, but also focusing on the entire process of mobile QA and how to make as a seamless part of a Continuous Delivery process, or what we call Continuous QA,” said Stu Stern, CEO and co-founder of Gorilla Logic.

GORILLA LOGIC ANNOUNCES NEW CLOUD-BASED QUALITY AS A SERVICE (QAAS) OFFERING FOR AUTOMATED MOBILE APPLICATION TESTING
New Cloud Service and Testing Platform Automates and Streamlines Mobile App Testing for Improved Time-to-market and Quality
BOULDER, Colo., March 6, 2012 – Gorilla Logic, (www.gorillalogic.com), the leader in enterprise application development and automated mobile testing tools and services, today announced the Gorilla Logic Continuous QA Cloud: the industry’s first Quality as a Service (QaaS) offering that tests and tracks the quality of mobile apps across iPhone, iPad and Android platforms. Together with the latest version of the MonkeyTalk automated testing tool (see today’s announcement entitled “Gorilla Logic Releases MonkeyTalk”), Gorilla Logic now offers enterprises the tools and services needed to leverage a complete “Continuous QA” cycle when developing and deploying high quality mobile applications.
“Functional testing always has been a challenge for Agile development teams, and the new pressures in the mobile app space – shorter schedules, multiple device versions and more complex interactions – are driving teams nuts. Our customers are really seeking innovative solutions that can reduce their cost and time-to-market while improving overall application quality,” explained Ed Schwarz, vice president of engineering and co-founder of Gorilla Logic. “Quality as a Service really cuts the Gordian Knot with an all-new approach that builds upon our years of experience building open source test tools and extending mobile app testing and quality to the cloud.”
With Continuous QA Cloud, enterprises can focus on delivering quality apps to their customers by leveraging a “Quality as a Service” delivery model that eliminates time, cost and expertise barriers associated with QA of mobile applications. Gorilla Logic’s onshore/offshore service delivery model leverages both its U.S. and recently opened Bangalore, India office to provide a price point that represents real value for any serious project team. Processes, tools and expertise combine to provide the kind of reliability and quality teams frequently struggle to achieve – without imposing speed bumps in their Agile process.
The new Gorilla Logic Continuous QA Cloud service provides:
- A revolutionary platform which allows customers to test their apps automatically, on demand, across dozens or hundreds of mobile devices and simulators.
- The power of Gorilla Logic’s industry-leading open-source testing tool – MonkeyTalk (formerly FoneMonkey). MonkeyTalk’s unique capabilities, from easy-to-work with record-playback to sophisticated data-driven test suites, are solving real-world functional testing challenges for mobile app teams worldwide. The latest MonkeyTalk expands these capabilities to include simpler and more powerful scripting and playback across both major mobile app platforms – iOS and Android.
- QuickStart Services – a no-hassle service offering allows teams to be up and running with QaaS – with real test results in their hands every day – in three weeks without any learning curve or additional staff.
Organizations creating mobile apps today are challenged when it comes to testing, elaborates Schwarz. The field needs support to manage delivery quality in the face of ever-more-demanding consumer audiences, ever-shorter timeframes, and ever-expanding functionality These challenges only increase in the mobile space (gestures, location, direction, hybrid web apps, etc.). Most approaches still center around manual testing in developer desktop environments, assuming infrequent releases at long intervals.
Schwarz says up to this point, Gorilla Logic’s open source MonkeyTalk (previously FoneMonkey) tools have been the leading innovation to address this issue. But challenges remain: the speed and integration the Agile Projects thrive on have left the QA team underserved. They have had to scramble to do the work of developers, integrators and operators just to make a test environment available, and their tools and integration are still are on the “the wild west/roll your own” model.
By bringing together an automation toolset focused on QA professionals with a zero-configuration, cloud-based, on-demand test execution and management platform, Gorilla Logic’s Continuous QA Cloud solves these problems without impacting delivery speed or requiring extensive re-tooling or skills acquisition. “We have spent the last six months bringing together a complete offering – tools, process, expertise and the Gorilla Logic Continuous QA Cloud platform – to really change the game for Agile project teams delivering rich interactive applications – especially the QA teams,” said Stu Stern, CEO and co-founder of Gorilla Logic. “Continuous QA Cloud combines the power of Agile practices, availability of on-demand cloud computing power and the business-point-of-view approach of functional testing in a way which the industry really hasn’t seen before.”
Pricing and Availability
Gorilla Logic’s Continuous QA Cloud Platform service is available immediately, priced based on customer need. For more information please visit (www.gorillalogic.com/quality-service/what-is-qaas). To read CEO Stu Stern’s blog on this announcement please visit (http://blog.gorillalogic.com/).

GORILLA LOGIC ANNOUNCES NEWEST VERSION OF FONEMONKEY AUTOMATED TESTING TOOL FOR IPHONE AND IPAD APPLICATIONS
Latest version incorporates new UIWebView support and recorded speed playback features for iOS devices
BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 5, 2011 – Gorilla Logic, (www.gorillalogic.com), a leader in enterprise application development services and creators of open source test tools for mobile and Rich Internet Applications (RIA), today announced the latest version of FoneMonkey for iOS, the popular open source functional testing tool for iPhone and iPad applications.
“This most recent release of FoneMonkey for iOS adds several key enhancements based on requests from the open source community of iOS developers,” explained Stu Stern, CEO and president of Gorilla Logic. “We are committed to meeting the needs of the open source community through frequent updates to FoneMonkey for iOS to provide developers and QA team members with rich features that help them ensure their testing is completed faster and with more accuracy.”
Features added to the newest version of FoneMonkey for iOS make it easier for developers and QA team members to conduct automated testing of their iOS applications. These features include:
• A new capability to run HTML Selenese scripts within a UIWebView – enabling Selenium testing of embedded web apps for the very first time
• An option to playback scripts at recorded speed which increases productivity of developers
• Console options to set playback speed/timeout from the console, allowing users to the option to set faster playback speeds when they do not need to see steps during playback or slower playback speeds if they want to watch and inspect each step during playback
• Commands retry until timeout so the WaitFor command no longer is necessary when waiting for data
Stern says now testers with no Objective-C knowledge can use JavaScript as an alternative to extend FoneMonkey-generated tests. This allows them to easily create tests and suites of tests in Javascript. In addition, data driving capabilities allow developers to create CSV databases to drive tests with unique data per each test. This allows users to create one test that can be run many times using different data to help them see how an application responds using multiple data sets. Finally, this latest version supports Selenese HTML scripts which enables developers not only to test native functionality of their applications, but also the parts implemented in UIWebViews, adding more test support for those who use web technologies in their applications.
Gorilla Logic’s passion for delivering quality software applications for enterprise customers led to the creation of FoneMonkey. It is the only test tool for iOS and, most recently, Android, that records all actions on an iPhone, iPad or Android phone while in use and plays them back as a test script at any time. It enables the interactive creation, editing and playback of automation scripts that exercise an application’s user interface. Using FoneMonkey, developers and quality assurance team members can create suites of tests that automate and perform user operation sequences, and then verify results. FoneMonkey supports development as well as QA testing, and tests can easily be incorporated into continuous integration environments.

WHAT: Automating iOS User Interface Testing
Automated functional testing is crucial to the development of all but the most trivial iPhone and iPad applications. A core suite of automated functional tests provides a solid foundation for rapidly iterating product releases by ensuring that the introduction of each new feature doesn’t inadvertently break pre-existing functionality.
In this class, Stern will explore how to use FoneMonkey (http://www.gorillalogic.com/fonemonkey) — a free and open source tool that automates functional testing of iPhone and iPad applications to record, edit, playback and verify application functionality on iOS simulators and devices. Stern will demonstrate how FoneMonkey scripts can be embedded within Objective-C programs and extended to handle arbitrarily complex application usage scenarios. He also will look at how FoneMonkey test suites can be run using XCode and OCUnit, and how FoneMonkey can be run with continuous integration tools. In addition, Stern will discuss best practices for test automation that let developers get the maximum benefit from creating the minimum number of automated tests.
