NEW DELHI: pCloudy is looking to raise Series A funding in the next six to nine months to fund its future growth, even as the cloud-based mobile app testing platform gets set to integrate testing of IoT-based apps and robotics for the first time in India in the software testing ecosystem.The company has invested in artificial intelligence , natural language processing (NLP) and robotics to create an engine which will do 70% of testing on its own. “The hardware is more or less standardized, the meat now lies in the software and the quality of app is of prime importance” said Lalit Jain , co-founder, pCloudy.pCloudy has provided services to many Indian start-ups and enterprises including SimpliLearn, KartRocket, Junotele, DigitalTurbine, Endeavor Technologies and many others. SSTS, the parent company, is presently holding talks with an IT giant to provide IoT-based services.Having made a humble beginning as a garage startup, the flagship product of SSTS caters to enterprises and start-ups for automated mobile app testing across various softwares and devices which reduces cost and test-time by 50%. The two-year old platform was recently angel funded in December to the tune of $1 million.“Handset manufacturers do a lot of customization; we not only need to test on different OS versions but also on various devices. This is how app testing becomes complex and any organization needs large set of devices to test their apps, that is where our platform’s role begins,” said Avinash Tiwari , director, pCloudy, in an interaction with ET.In India’s mobile app testing market estimated to be $60 million, the challenges lie in terms of compatibility of apps across various devices, usability of apps, user experience, security and performance. This has therefore created demand for automated app testing to enhance app efficiency.The platform offers public cloud services where app developers can run tests for apps using a browser, adopting a pay as you go model. For enterprises the company provides a private cloud with added benefits of access and additional level of data security.With benefits like single-click certification engine and network simulation capability, the platform has much to offer to the app developers of the APAC region.“In about two years, we’ll see growth in consumer IoT space and then the challenge would be external hardware integration and automation of multiple devices, for which we have invested in robots for automation task efficiency,” said Tiwari.“We want to be the first ones to build an IoT app testing platform and we’re heading towards that,” he added.The company has around 70 people dedicated to the platform along with two robots.
