Building An App? Test It Out Online!

One of the things that goes into creating any sort of application or product is putting it through its paces, to make sure that it works as expected. This can prove to be somewhat tedious, as you may want to have the different iPhones to tweak your app, etc. Kickfolio aims at making the testing process easier for you. Kickfolio is a HTML5 based platform that allows developers to upload their apps for it to be rendered using HTML5 and CSS, allowing for playback capabilities.

Each app uploaded to the service, will be made available privately via a link, in which the developer can share to testers. On the tester's side of things, they can interact with the app using their mouse and keyboard, in both portrait and landscape modes. Not only that, they can leave comments viewable by the developers. In return to feedback, the developer can upload newer versions of the app, in which the cycle repeats. Unfortunately, the service will not be entirely free. The only thing that is free is the 15 day trial in which developers will have to pay a certain amount of money dependent on the amount of apps that they want to test on Kickfolio. It's a pretty interesting concept. To get an idea on how everything works, Kickfolio has the Angry Bots app available here.
