Pantech Selects Wind River for Android Smartphone Testing

SEOUL, South Korea — Feb. 15, 2012 — Wind River, a world leader in embedded and mobile software, announced that Pantech, a leading mobile device manufacturer, is using Wind River’s Android testing software in the development of its Android-based smartphones.

By using Wind River’s automated testing software, Wind River Framework for Automated Software Testing (FAST) and Wind River UX Test Development Kit, Pantech dramatically reduced the time and costs to test the software for their Android devices. Pantech was able to automate heterogeneous tests and testing reports. Through the automation of an extensive series of tests, Pantech strengthened quality assurance during smartphone development and accelerated their time to market. Wind River’s Android testing offerings and expertise help device manufacturers focus efforts and resources on critical issues such as developing unique features that differentiate their mobile devices from the competition and verifying Android compliancy, instead of spending a majority of their development time on testing.

“We needed to rely on a vendor with Android experience to help us during the software development process to ensure a consistently high level of software quality for our devices,” said Choi Ki-chang, the senior executive at Pantech. “Through Wind River’s Android expertise, Pantech was able to significantly streamline the software testing process and shrink the time and cost to develop reliable and high-quality Android devices. As we continue to develop new offerings, we are looking forward to growing our Android software relationship with Wind River."

“Having global leaders in the handset market such as Pantech rely on our Android technologies speaks to Wind River’s deep Android expertise,” said Lee Chang-Pyo, country manager of Wind River Korea. “Wind River FAST for Android automates the complex testing process and helps customers get to market quickly with highly differentiated and reliable Android devices.”
